[ecrea] NEW POST: Post-Doctoral Research Associate on 1960s British Cinema project, based at UEA

Post-Doctoral Research Associate, British Cinema of the 1960s
REF: RA1130

School of Art, Media and American Studies

Faculty of Arts and Humanities, University of East Anglia

£31,342 to £37,394 per annum

We invite applications for a full-time Post-Doctoral Research Associate 
post, to work with Dr Melanie Williams on a new 3-year research project, 
funded by the AHRC: ‘Transformation and Tradition in British Cinema of 
the 1960s: Industry, Creativity and National Branding’. The project’s 
Primary Investigator is Professor Duncan Petrie based at the University 
of York, its Co-Investigator is Dr Melanie Williams of the University of 
East Anglia and the British Film Institute is also involved as a Project 
Partner. There will be two post-doctoral research associates assigned to 
the project, one based at York and one at UEA.

The project will instigate a major reconsideration of British cinema of 
the 1960s, focussing on three key areas. 1: the organisation and 
functioning of British film industry during the 1960s, concentrating on 
the industrial frameworks of production and distribution, and the 
significance of independents. 2: how British films were framed through 
promotion, marketing and reviewing, considering how discourses of 
Britishness functioned to ‘brand’ films. 3: the creative process of 
film-making during the period, focussing on the contributions made by 
different creative personnel, the changing institutional, technological 
and aesthetic contexts of film production, and the influence of other 
cultural forms and industries on British cinema during this period, 
notably television, advertising, popular music and fashion. The UEA team 
will concentrate on the third of these three research areas.

Enquiries about the post should be addressed to Melanie Williams 
((melanie.williams /at/ uea.ac.uk))

Further particulars and an application form are available at 
https://www.uea.ac.uk/hr/vacancies/research

The post is available on a full-time basis from January 2015 until 
December 2017.

Closing date: 12 noon on 8 December 2014.
