The successful candidate will contribute to the undergraduate Film and Media programme delivered on our Stirling campus. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to help shape the future development and expansion of the programme in line with their own interests and specialisms, in collaboration with other colleagues within the Division and School.

The University
Founded by Royal Charter in 1967, the University, near the ancient city of Stirling was the first genuinely new university in Scotland for over 400 years.

Located in the geographical heart of Scotland, the stunning campus location provides a unique learning and working environment, combined with excellent UK, European and world-wide transport links, via Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Since its foundation, Stirling’s approach has been one of innovation and excellence. The University has embraced its role as an intellectual and cultural institution, combining science, arts and humanities within its research and education activities.

The University of Stirling has a current enrolment of over 11,000 students, provides over 150 degree and professional programmes delivered through 8 academic schools and offers a research-led curriculum that attracts the highest calibre of students to study in our fields of health and wellbeing, the environment and people, culture and society, enterprise and the economy, and sport.

The University of Stirling also attracts a large number of international students. There are currently 2,800 students from over 100 nationalities across five continents. The University’s global links extend to a wide range of research and education collaborations and partnerships in over 100 countries.

School of Arts and Humanities
Within the School of Arts and Humanities, our students have the desire to explore, to innovate and to create. One of the largest Schools in the University, our subject areas are renowned for international and world leading research. Our work is well represented in national and international journals, at academic conferences around the world and in the media.

We offer students a broad range of subjects to study in an exciting, research led and highly interdisciplinary environment.
