Liverpool Hope University is a vibrant community with high scholarly 
standards.  We are proud of our past, confident in our present and 
ambitious for our future. Research is central to our curriculum 
development and enhancement and all academic staff at the University 
engage in research. Building upon our REF 2014 submission we are looking 
with ambition and confidence to the next REF, strengthening even further 
our research degree programme (PhD and EdD). This developing research 
expertise builds upon and complements our already well established 
reputation for excellence in teaching and learning. Our policy is to 
combine these elements of our work in keeping with the University’s 
stated academic profile as a research-informed teaching University of 
distinction. It is in this context that we now seek scholars in a number 
of areas who will join with us in pursuit of excellence; these 
opportunities include the post of:
The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to existing 
provision, be involved in new curriculum developments, particularly 
new/digital/social media, and/or journalism, and engage with the 
research profile of the team.  Departmental research strengths to which 
s/he should both compliment and add, depending on area(s) of expertise, 
include Film History and Theory, and News Content Analysis.  S/he will 
be responsible for developing, designing and delivering teaching and 
student centred learning underpinned by academic scholarship and, if 
appropriate, professional practice and will be able to develop modules 
for the successful MA in Film, Media and Society.
The successful candidate will have a PhD and a record of research in an 
aspect of cutting edge media and/or visual culture.  S/he will ideally 
also be competent in an aspect of practical provision, such as digital 
media, broadcasting or blogging/vlogging.  The department has three 
related subjects: Media and Communication, Film and Visual Culture, and 
Creative Writing.
The University is rapidly developing its research profile and has an 
ambitious agenda for the future.  All new academic staff appointed to 
the University must either already be research active at REF 3* or above 
level or have the clear proven capacity, willingness and ability to 
become research active at this level for the next REF.  The University 
has various support mechanisms in place to help scholars who are 
ambitious in developing their strong research profile.
The post is permanent, subject to the normal probationary period of 
twelve months.

The post of Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow is a fixed-term appointment for 
a 12-month period in the first instance.
We recruit staff nationally and internationally as we seek out the best 
to help build Hope for the future. If you join us you will be doing so 
at an exciting and challenging time as we work to build a liberal arts 
inspired university of distinction in the UK. If you have the energy, 
drive and commitment to assist us in this task, we would be delighted to 
hear from you.
