[ecrea] Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Writing for Screen and Performance

Wed Jun 05 14:28:37 GMT 2013




http://www.worcester.ac.uk/community/job-vacancy-lecturer-writing-screen-performance.html

We are seeking to appoint someone to contribute to teaching and development of Screenwriting at Worcester.

Currently, our undergraduate Screenwriting course is offered as a Joint Honours course, to be studied in combination with a range of other humanities & creative arts courses, including Drama & Performance, Digital Film Production and, from next year, Creative & Professional Writing. The course recruits well and its scope, and our ambition for it, have grown significantly over the past two years. We now wish to make an additional, specialist appointment that will support further development of the curriculum, possibly to develop a Single Honours route, and that will contribute to the burgeoning role of teaching and research in areas of writing within the Institute of Humanities & Creative Arts.

The successful candidate will bring to his/her teaching and research significant, relevant professional experience and success which will support student and graduate achievement. The appointee will also be committed to university teaching and engaged with (and capable of engaging students with) the theoretical and historical framing of writing practices associated with screen writing and writing for performance. Candidates will be expected to be able to consider their own writing practices in research terms (possibly within the context of practice-as-research).

The post holder will be expected to teach across a range of practice-led and theory modules, to make a distinctive contribution to both undergraduate and postgraduate curriculum development and to develop industry links, contacts and networks from which students, the Screenwriting course and the Institute, more widely, may benefit.

As already described, we are looking for a candidate with a track record of practice in writing for film, TV and/or related contexts. We would especially welcome candidates also offering established and /or developing academic research profiles and with experience of academic course development. The appointee will be asked to take Worcester’s young Screenwriting course to a next level of development, assuming a leadership and administrative role within the Screenwriting and Film area, and to contribute to other appropriate aspects of writing provision.We particularly welcome applications from candidates offering experience in a range of the following:

• Writing for film, television and radio
• Playwriting and writing for live performance
• Creative writing
• Screenwriting theory
• Industry practice

As part of the selection process for the post, candidates invited for interview will be required to provide:

• A short interactive teaching session with students
• A 10-minute presentation to an audience of academic peers on the topic, ‘Illustrate your ideas for the development of Screenwriting at the University of Worcester’ • An opening 10-minute presentation, to the interview panel, on their professional practice or research, as part of a longer, formal interview.

The post is being offered as a full-time post, but candidates wishing to propose appointment on a fractional basis above 0.6 may also be considered.

Closing date: Wednesday 12 Jun 2013

Reference number: IHCA1304 - 1187
