[ecrea] 12-month 0.5 SL post in Film Studies at UWE Bristol

Senior Lecturer in Film Studies - Ref:1727433 UWE Bristol, Frenchay Campus
Salary: H - £19,416 - £24,574 (0.5 FTE)
Fixed term

Closing date: 12 Jul 2018

UWE Bristol is an ambitious university. Together, our people are working 
hard to advance knowledge, inspire people and transform futures. We are 
looking for people with the skills and ambition to help us achieve those 
aims.
The Department of Arts and Cultural Industries offers a range of 
undergraduate programmes in the Arts and Humanities, including the 
highly regarded BA(Hons) Film Studies award. We seek to appoint a new 
colleague on a part-time (0.5 FTE), fixed-term basis from September 2018 
- August 2019 to cover undergraduate teaching.
The main responsibilities will be to lead three undergraduate modules: 
Film Style and Meaning (Level 1), Professional Writing about Film (Level 
2) and Adaptation: Screenwriting and Narrative Form (Level 2). 
Additional responsibilities include supervising a small number of third 
year projects, second marking assignments on other modules, and acting 
as a personal tutor for a specific group of students. Aside from 
teaching, you will also be responsible for the academic development and 
wellbeing of students.
Applicants must have an academic background in Film Studies (preferrably 
including PhD completion) and some relevant teaching experience. 
Detailed knowledge of debates around film criticism, film style, film 
narrative and adaptation is essential. Our curriculum embraces a diverse 
range of film forms and practices: applicants must be willing and able 
to teach non-mainstream, non-western and non-white texts alongside 
dominant forms of cinema, in ways that will encourage and inspire 
students to widen their horizons. You will also need high level writing 
skills and the ability to help students develop their own writing in 
different forms, including explaining issues with grammar, punctuation 
and expression; a working knowledge of screenplay layout and technique 
is desirable, sufficient to introducing second year students to 
screenwriting as part of an adaptation project in Semester 2.
Professional experience of film criticism or screenwriting is desirable 
but not essential. Experience of teaching and/or marking audiovisual 
essays is also desirable, along with PowerPoint and Premiere Pro AV skills.
You can expect to join a supportive and welcoming team and you will be 
offered mentoring and assistance in developing teaching materials and 
your practice.
This post is based at our lively Frenchay campus where we have invested 
in the latest facilities and resources to give our students access to 
everything they need to succeed – with £300m being spent on new 
state-of-the-art learning spaces and accommodation between now and 2020 
to enhance our offer even further. Frenchay campus is within close 
proximity to excellent motorway links and within walking distance of two 
train stations, making UWE Frenchay Campus the ideal place to work for 
those wishing to commute to Bristol.
In addition to progressive pay rates, UWE Bristol offers a wide range of 
staff benefits including: •       a generous holiday allowance of 35 
Days •       up to 12.5 bank holiday/closure days per year in addition;
