The University of Portsmouth’s**School of Media and Performing Arts, in
collaboration with University of the Arts London, has been awarded an
Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) grant to research the
history of British music video since the 1960s. This 2-year project, led
by Dr Justin Smith (Principal Investigator, Portsmouth) and Dr Emily
Caston (Co-investigator, UAL) will assemble a panel of industry
executives and creatives from record labels and production companies to
work with an advisory committee of academics to select a canon of music
video titles for conservation within the BFI's National Archive which
will be distributed to the general public by Soda Pictures as a box set
DVD and exhibited across the UK in four national cinema screening
sessions with leading music video curator David Knight (BUG, editor
Promo News TV, curator UK Music Video Awards). The project will also
create the first national database of British music videos free to
access at the BFI and British Library.With original masters donated by
record labels and production companies we will create two new
collections of major national significance, at the BFI National Archive
and British Library respectively, to accompany this database. These will
be documented and analysed in a journal special issue, and a book
relating the as yet untold story of British music video art.

We seek to appoint a Research Assistant (grade 4) on a fixed-term
contract for 18 months. Responsible to the PI and CI, the Research
Assistant will collate music video metadata, will conduct archival
research, will prepare programme notes and presentations for focus
groups, will contribute to the research interviews and industry panels,
and will contribute to the project’s dissemination activities. The
Research Assistant will be required to work especially closely with the
CI in London. It is expected that the Research Assistant will make a
distinctive contribution to the intellectual life of the project and its
outputs, as well as having an important role in data gathering and
assisting resource production.

This position may be considered as a job share.
