We wish to appoint a Lecturer in Media and Communication Studies. The 
appointment is initially for a fixed term of 1 year with support for 
career development and potential to secure a longer-term role. The post 
will primarily involve teaching across the BA programme in the 
Birmingham School of Media, support for course leadership and student 
experience, as well as providing assistance in the formation of 
individual research projects. The post offers remission and support for 
the realisation of individual research and aid for career development, 
and the appointment is part of our strategy to support research 
development in the Birmingham Centre for Media and Cultural Research 
(BCMCR).

You will hold a PhD, have teaching experience across the breadth of 
media and communication studies and cognate fields and possess a flair 
for pedagogical innovation and student engagement. We are particularly 
interested in individuals with experience of teaching: research methods; 
digital and new media; journalism and public relations; media and 
cultural policy; events and exhibition theory.

You will have a breadth of knowledge of a specific area of media and 
communication theory and competence across a breadth of ideas and 
analytical techniques. You will be an independent and confident thinker 
with a track record of teaching and student motivation. You will be an 
able communicator and collaborator who is able to deploy, interpret and 
innovate within existing teaching syllabi and structures.  You will have 
an emerging research and publication record. Supporting established 
staff in the development of research projects and funding bids, you will 
be an ambitious scholar who aims to develop your own internationally 
excellent research expertise with your own application that will be 
supported by BCMCR.

Taking a role in the Birmingham School of Media within the Faculty of 
Arts, Design and Media you will join an experienced, innovative and 
diverse team of teachers. As a research active member of staff you will 
also contribute to the development of a vibrant research culture in 
BCMCR. Your identity as a researcher and personal plan for development 
will speak to one of the distinctive areas of research in BCMCR with 
particular focus on one or more of our research clusters in: *History, 
Heritage and Archives; Cultural Ecologies; Journalism, Activism and 
Community*. BCMCR aims to produce distinctive, collaborative work within 
the field of media and cultural research. In the recent Research 
Excellence Framework process for assessing the UK HE sector, the 
majority of BCMCR research environment and activities were judged as of 
a quality that is internationally excellent in terms of originality, 
significance and rigour.
