? A PhD degree (or close to completion) in Film Studies, Visual Anthropology, or a related subject with a strong emphasis on the moving image in a social science context, or a practice-based PhD in Photography or Ethnographic Film. ? Experience in the independent gathering and qualitative analysis of ethnographic data.
? Experience of video production and post-production.
? Excellent organisational skills, high self-motivation with effective communication and interpersonal skills. ? Competence in compiling reports, presentation of research findings, and drafting research papers for publication.
