School of English, Film, Theatre and Media Studies, Victoria University 
of Wellington, New Zealand



Applications are invited for one or more fixed-term Teaching Fellows to 
teach 1-3 courses in 2014: one 200-level course on Film Histories and 
one 300-level course on Film Industries, Institutions and Cultures (both 
Trimester one; February-June) and one 200 level course (Film Theory) in 
Trimester two (July-November). The short-term contract(s) will cover 
either one or both of the trimesters. The appointed staff will be 
coordinating, lecturing, assessing, tutoring and supervising tutors, and 
working with colleagues in the programme. The successful applicant(s) 
will have a postgraduate qualification in film or a related area, and 
tertiary teaching experience will be an advantage. Applicants are 
encouraged to propose their own courses in areas of specialty that might 
fall within Victoria’s film courses. These positions are especially 
well-suited for new PhD graduates looking for teaching experience. 
Relocation costs will not be available for applicants.

Applicants should send a cover letter, cv, the name of three referees 
and sample course outlines to School Administrator Morna Lorden at 
<(Morna.Lorden /at/ vuw.ac.nz)> The deadline to submit applications is 
September 20 but will remain open until we have filled the position(s).



Human Resources questions should be directed to Associate Professor 
Thierry Jutel, ((thierry.jutel /at/ vuw.ac.nz)), and all other questions about 
the position to Professor Kirsten Thompson, Programme Director 
((kirsten.thompson /at/ vuw.ac.nz).)



Brief information about the courses are below, but candidates are also 
encouraged to propose other topics within their specialty research areas:



FILM 201 Critical Approaches to Film Studies: This course involves a 
survey of the significant theoretical approaches that inform Film 
Studies. Topics will vary from year to year but may include realism, 
formalism, semiotics, narratology, psychoanalysis, phenomenology, and/or 
postmodernism.

FILM 204 Film Histories: This course investigates a specific period or 
type of film history. It will situate cinema in a particular historical 
context and examine historiographical approaches in Film Studies.

FILM 307 Film Industries, Institutions, and Cultures: The course focuses 
on the field of film in its cultural, institutional and industrial 
contexts. This may include consideration of cinema as industry; the 
cultures and practices of film and related creative industries; or the 
role and influence of cultural policies and institutions.
