Part-time Network Facilitator
Guildhall School of Music and Drama: Research Department
Three-year fixed-term contract at 0.5 FTE
Salary including Inner London Weighting: £25,000 in year 1 rising to 
£27,000 in year 3 (pro rata for 0.5 FTE £12,500 rising to £13,500)

Thanks to an International Network Grant from the Leverhulme Trust for 
the project ‘Screen adaptations of Le Fantôme de l’Opéra: Routes 
of cultural transfer’, Guildhall School of Music & Drama is in a 
position to be able to offer this position to an enthusiastic individual 
with an interest in cinema, media, film music and intercultural exchange 
who has excellent administrative skills and (ideally) knowledge of 
Spanish and (Brazilian) Portuguese.

About the project
Gaston Leroux’s Le Fantôme de l’Opéra (1909-10) is a unique record 
of the most important social and artistic institution in 
late-nineteenth-century Parisian culture, the Paris Opéra. 
Notwithstanding this historical-geographical specificity, it has been 
the object of repeated reinterpretation for more than a century, all 
over the world. This global interdisciplinary project maps the 
mechanisms and extraordinary extent of that cultural transfer through 
its most consistent expression, the 50+ screen adaptations made between 
1916 and the present day.

About the position
The wide geographical scope of the project, as well as its six 
programmed events (meetings, workshops, conferences and similar, some on 
quite a large scale), require a Facilitator to ensure the logistical 
planning and smooth running of the network’s activities. A range of 
administrative skills and the ability to collaborate productively with 
other administrative staff will be essential, and the ability to liaise 
efficiently with collaborators in Latin America (mainly Mexico, 
Argentina and Brazil) will be an advantage.

The varied duties of the Facilitator will also include maintaining the 
network website, the planned blog and/or social media accounts and the 
private online project management system (Basecamp.com or similar), 
uploading content provided by the project partners, and monitoring 
various feeds, social media output and similar from related 
projects/scholarly societies/research groups. This work will be crucial 
to the network’s goal of disseminating news of the project as widely 
as possible, and soliciting engagement and participation from an even 
broader academic and non-academic community.

There will be the opportunity for the successful candidate to negotiate 
flexible working patterns, including working from home. Otherwise the 
post is based in the Research Office at Milton Court, the School’s 
magnificent new building in the City of London.

About the person
You will be educated to degree level, probably in Film, Music, 
Languages, Media, Cultural Studies or similar; you could be undertaking 
a higher degree part-time, or be working part-time in an education or 
arts environment, or freelance. You will have some project-management 
and administrative skills, and you will be IT literate, familiar with 
social media and maintaining blogs/websites. You will be able to 
maintain a simple budget spreadsheet, with administrative support. You 
will have the right to work in the UK, and be able to get to the School 
easily to use office facilities or for meetings.

About the process
Please send a covering letter (one page of A4) explaining your interest 
in the project, a CV detailing your administrative, IT and linguistic 
skills, and the names of two referees who can confirm those skills to 
(careers /at/ barbican.org.uk). The deadline for receipt of this material is 
Wednesday, 26 August 2015. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to 
interview (at the Guildhall School or via Skype) and the start-date will 
be as soon as possible thereafter.
