School of Philosophical, Anthropological and Film Studies
Department of Film Studies
Salary - £34,793 - £42,791 per annum
We are seeking a highly motivated scholar, committed to excellence in
teaching and research, to join the Department of Film Studies. St Andrews is
one of the leading institutions in the UK. The department of Film Studies,
and its PhD programme, was founded in 2004. A new undergraduate programme of
joint degrees was successfully launched in 2005, and a postgraduate MLitt in
Film Studies in 2006. In addition, The Centre for Film Studies offers a
thriving research environment and facilitates exchanges with leading
international researchers.
You will be expected to take on a key role in this dynamic unit, in
research, teaching and administration. You will have, or be nearing
completion of, a PhD in Film Studies (or a cognate discipline). Your
research is expected to contribute significantly to the Department's strong
research culture. We are open to applicants with expertise in any area
within the field, but have a special interest in transnational cinemas,
world cinema, or film theory. Experience of teaching/supervision, and
evidence of administrative competence are also essential attributes of the
position.
