To strengthen our research, innovation and consultancy activities in

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

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
