Job Summary
The School of Language & Literature is seeking to appoint a Lecturer in Film and Visual Culture, a programme which students can take either as a four-year single honours degree or as a joint degree with a wide variety of other disciplines, most regularly English Literature or a European language. The programme combines the historical and theoretical study of film with opportunities for practical engagement in film-making. The successful candidate will be expected to carry out undergraduate teaching and administrative duties across all years of the ‘Film and Visual Culture’ programme but will also be expected to contribute to other aspects of the School’s work, especially in relation to the activities of its various research centres and, in particular, to the development of the recently established Washington Wilson Centre for Visual Culture. The successful candidate will also be expected to contribute to postgraduate supervision, and to the administrative requirements of the School as a whole – all members of the School, for instance, act as personal tutors to c. 20 undergraduates. Candidates will be required to have a documented research profile consistent with the current stage of their career as well as clear potential for a high-scoring submission in any future evaluation of research achievement.

Salary will be at the appropriate point on the Grade 7 salary scale (£37,756 – £45,053 per annum) with placement according to qualifications and experience.

Informal enquiries are welcome and should be made to Professor Cairns Craig, Head of School (Telephone: +44 (0)7900 221289, Email: (cairns.craig /at/ abdn.ac.uk)).

Should you require a visa to undertake paid employment in the UK you will be required to fulfil the minimum points criteria to be granted a Certificate of Sponsorship and Tier 2 visa. As appropriate, at the time an offer of appointment is made you will be asked to demonstrate that you fulfil the criteria in respect of financial maintenance and competency in English. Please do not hesitate to contact Heather Mcewan, Human Resources Graduate Trainee, for further information on this.
