The Department of Culture, Film and Media at the University of 
Nottingham seeks to appoint an outstanding scholar in the field of 
Critical Theory and Cultural Studies. The successful candidate will be 
expected to carry out a range of teaching and administrative duties, 
including teaching on undergraduate and postgraduate programmes within 
the Department and the School. In particular, the successful candidate 
will play a key role in the delivery of MA programmes in Critical Theory 
and Cultural Studies and make a contribution to the delivery of the BA 
(Hons) International Media and Communications Studies.  They will play a 
key role in developing the research profile of the Centre for Critical 
Theory. Scholars specialising in any area of critical theory and 
cultural studies are encouraged to apply, but we especially encourage 
applications from those whose research expertise promises to enhance and 
consolidate existing research strengths in the Centre, the Department 
and the School: critical approaches to network cultures, 
histories/theories of everyday life, the politics of wellbeing, and 
sensory cultures.

Candidates should ideally be an international research leader with an 
exceptional track record of publication. They should have a PhD, or 
equivalent in critical theory/cultural studies or a related field and 
have previous experience of teaching in critical theory/cultural 
studies. A proven track record of research dissemination (research 
papers, publications) appropriate to stage of career is also an 
essential requirement for this role.
