Media, Journalism and Film is a new department formed from the previous 
subject area of Journalism and Media within the School. The intention in 
creating this new department is to expand and develop our work in this 
area. We are seeking an outstanding individual, at professorial level, 
to lead the department through exciting times ahead and to spearhead new 
developments.

awards in recent years including: Outstanding Contribution to Leadership 
Development in the 2015 Times Higher Education Awards, Times Higher 
University of the Year Award in 2014, Entrepreneurial University of the 
Year Award in 2013, two Queen’s Awards for Enterprise and the Guardian 
Inspiring Leader Award. In 2016 the University received a Queen’s 
Anniversary Prize for work in the School in contemporary music. The new 
department forms part of this ambition.

The Department of Media, Journalism and Film is based in a modern 
building and the School has consistently invested in new facilities 
including the Panasonic HD TV Studio, a Digital Radio Studio and, most 
recently, a state-of-the-art digital Newsroom. A new 7.1 Surround Sound 
facility for Film Studies is to be opened shortly. Research is a 
priority for the School and new research initiatives in the Department 
are developing including the formation of a new research Centre for 
Participatory Culture (CenPaC).

As Head of Department you will contribute to management and development 
of the School of Music, Humanities and Media and help set the future 
direction of Media, Journalism and Film. You will lead and develop staff 
to bring out the best in them, you will lead research activity, securing 
funding and building capacity through internal and external 
collaborations. You will help develop the School and Department’s 
research, teaching and international strategies for growth.

A PhD in a relevant area is essential. You will contribute with
