[ecrea] Research Fellow Opportunity - postdoc on Beyond the Metropolis

Thu Sep 21 11:23:40 GMT 2017



An opportunity has arisen for a postdoc research fellow to work with me on the following project:

"Beyond the Metropolis: Regional Film and Television Clusters in the UK outside London", which scopes the location, size and significance of the UK’s film and television industries beyond the capital. This will include the nations (Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales) as well as the English regions (e.g. Greater Manchester). The postholder will draw together material on concepts of region and place and on how ‘creative clusters’ and ‘cultural ecologies’ are thought to function, and construct a database of information about regional film and television clusters in the UK based outside London, including key companies. You will help to formulate the best methodologies (quantitative and qualitative) through which to analyse how these clusters work, including the historical, social, cultural and political contexts that help shape them. You will undertake the organisation, planning and delivery of a two-day symposium where these issues will be debated and will assist Professor Spicer in the preparation of a major research bid analysing regional film and television creative clusters in the UK.

This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious and focused researcher to develop work in an evolving interdisciplinary field that draws from film and television studies; media industries studies; cultural studies; cultural and economic geography; and organisational, business and management studies. It is timely and topical given the current concerns about regionalism (e.g. Metro Mayors), devolution, and the stated aims of the government and major institutions (BBC, Channel 4, BFI) to encourage film and television production outside London. You will work within the Moving Image Research Unit, which contains a range of staff and doctoral students investigating the histories, theories, aesthetics, cultures and politics of moving image production, interaction and reception.

The role is .5 for 5 months (1 November 2017 – 31 March 2018) days and hours per week by negotiation.

Deadline: 4 October.
