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,
