research within the broad fields of film, media and culture; to teach 
and supervise postgraduate and undergraduate students; and to undertake 
administrative duties as appropriate. The successful candidate will have 
the opportunity to participate in both CMC's and the School of Arts and 
Humanities' expanding portfolio of Masters programmes by developing 
specialist provision where appropriate and supervising doctoral 
students. 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.

Whilst we do not want to restrict the range of research specialisms of 
applicants, research or teaching experience in one or more of the 
following areas would be an advantage: feminist, gender and queer 
studies; film theory; international television industries and formats; 
screen acoustics; popular music studies; screen media in the digital 
age; media audiences and events; practice as research; and cultural 
archive research.
