Professor of Media Policy
<http://www.jobs.salford.ac.uk/vacancies_detail.php?id=84>http://www.jobs.salford.ac.uk/vacancies_detail.php?id=84 To strengthen our research, innovation and consultancy activities in media, we wish to appoint a Professor of Media Policy. The post-holder will be expected to play a leading role in the School of Media, Music and Performance's strategy for media research and delivery, particularly in the area of contemporary digital media policy, though additional interests in the history and development of broadcasting and/or print journalism policy might be welcome. She/he will need to work with colleagues across academic disciplines, work with existing expertise within the School, and contribute her/his own expertise as part of a successful research strategy. She/he is expected to contribute to a successful research grouping, including academic colleagues and research students, in time to meet the challenges and seize the opportunities offered by the development of MediaCity:UK. Applicants will be expected to have a proven track record in research leadership, publication in leading academic journals and in securing funding from Research Councils and other external sources. Applicants should also have a proven ability to establish and conduct collaborative research at international level with both academic and industrial partners.

Director of Journalism Communication
<http://www.jobs.salford.ac.uk/vacancies_detail.php?id=83>http://www.jobs.salford.ac.uk/vacancies_detail.php?id=83 The School of Media, Music and Performance is seeking a Director to provide leadership and manage the Directorate of Journalism and Communication, to start in January 2009. The newly-created Directorate will be one of four Directorates within the new School structure, and reflects the significant growth in journalism and related programmes that has occurred, with further growth being planned

Professor of Contemporary Music
<http://www.jobs.salford.ac.uk/vacancies_detail.php?id=85>http://www.jobs.salford.ac.uk/vacancies_detail.php?id=85 From January 2010, changes in the University's research management structure mean that the School of Media, Music and Performance will have direct responsibility for research in relevant discipline areas. The Professor in Contemporary Music/Director of Music will play a leading role, working with existing research expertise across the School, in developing appropriate research activity in Music, building upon the strong showing in RAE 2008. Although research leadership and expertise in any area of contemporary 20th/21st century music would be welcomed, an interest in interdisciplinary research and/or the impact of digital production and dissemination might be an advantage. The ability to link research to teaching and engagement activities will be important.
