Wed Jun 20 14:51:58 GMT 2012





Professor in Screen Practice:

The School offers BA(Hons) programmes in Filmmaking & Screenwriting and Broadcast Production, an MA in Creative Media Practice, and has a large cohort of doctoral researchers, many working in a practice-based mode in and across the disciplines of screen, performance, digital media and the visual arts.

The successful applicant will be a leading authority in an area of Screen Practice/Screen Studies, which may encompass film, television, multimedia or time-based visual art, and will demonstrate a commitment to collaborative and imaginative academic development, with the ability to inspire innovation and build constructive working relationships with colleagues, students and external partners.

Applicants will be educated to PhD level in a relevant subject area. You will also have substantial experience of academic and/or industry leadership, a track record in generating research income, and the ability to effectively supervise and examine practice-led research, with an internationally-recognised level of recent research output.


and Studio and Technical Operations Manager

The School of Creative and Cultural Industries is an ambitious, forward-looking school, delivering programmes at three of the University’s campuses, including the extensive purpose-built facilities within the new £81 million Ayr Campus building. These facilities include a suite of radio studios, television studios, performance areas, music studios and computer laboratories. With Skillset Media Academy Status and exciting plans for REF 2014, we are looking now for an outstanding individual to join our team in a newly established and significant role for the School.

The Studio and Technical Operations Manager will have a broad range of responsibilities. As an entirely new commercial enterprise an early priority will be to establish the studios, creating and building a network of contacts, and you will work in partnership with the Skillset Media Academy Manager to develop a marketing strategy in order to meet commercialisation and knowledge exchange targets. As well as overseeing the specialist facilities, you will balance the commercial aspects of the post with optimising the student experience.

You will be highly self-motivated with high level financial planning, and a mix of academic, technical and commercial skills and experience. You will be able to demonstrate your knowledge of the target markets for commercialising the studios, and supporting the provision of the Skillset Media Academy, and have proven experience of business development including planning and execution of business development activity. A degree or equivalent is essential with commitment to CPD, plus extensive technical experience.

The post will be based at the Ayr Campus, though you will oversee School technical operations at other campuses, and be expected to travel as the post requires.
