Film & Visual Culture and German Studies have a long tradition of excellence at Aberdeen. German has been taught at Aberdeen since the 1890s, with areas of strength in German literature and cultural history from the Romantic period to the present day, ecocriticism, studies of identity and affect, translation studies, and comparative literature. The combination of Film with Visual Culture is unique in Scotland. Research strengths of the unit include feminist media theory, the visual culture of contemporary science and medicine, contemporary performance art in Eastern Europe, history and theory of documentary, and practice-as-research in documentary and narrative film. Many of these strengths are reflected in the research centres hosted by the School, including the Washington Wilson Centre for Visual Culture and the Grierson Centre for Textual Criticism and Comparative Literary History.

The appointment will contribute equally to the work of both disciplines, including the development of shared courses as appropriate. The School also has an exciting track record of public engagement and impact-related activities to which the successful candidate will make their own contribution.

The Closing date for receipt of applications is 17 August 2017

Salary will be at the appropriate point on the Grade 7 scale (£39,324- £46,924 per annum), with placement according to qualifications and experience.
