We are seeking an Associate Professor/Professor to enrich and advance

expertise and significant publications in areas of Screen Studies

Screen Studies at the University of Melbourne is concerned with the 
aesthetics, history and theory of film and screen media. The Program 
offers students the critical, analytical, theoretical and creative tools 
required to understand the cinema and work with the moving image in 
diverse forms. Students taking undergraduate and graduate subjects 
encounter a diverse range of moving images from various countries and 
creative and industrial contexts, from the pre-history of cinema to the 
most contemporary developments in global digital screen media. Screen 
Studies places film, television and screen texts firmly in the context 
of their essential relationships with the visual and performing arts and 
the creative arts generally. It also examines the role screens play in 
the study of a variety of humanities and social science disciplines. 
Screen Studies at Melbourne is widely recognised for its excellence and 
innovation in teaching, scholarship and research. Staff in the stream 
are committed to classroom-based teaching as well as developing online, 
interactive projects to support students and encourage them to excel in 
the discipline. Screen Studies staff are active in publishing in their 
areas of expertise and are successful in attracting research funding, 
including Australian Research Council Discovery and Linkage grants, 
University and Faculty funding as well as collaborating to develop 
grants with colleagues across the globe. We aim to continue to develop 
these strengths, particularly in the areas of:

     Local and global film cultures, genres, movements and industries;

     Gender, sexuality, and feminist film theory;

     Film history and media archaeologies from pre-cinema to new 
digital media;

     Screen media’s relationships with the visual, performing and 
creative arts;

     Interdisciplinary collaborations across the humanities and social 
sciences;

     The materiality of film and digital cinema;

     Phenomenology, aesthetics, politics and ethics of the cinema.



The Screen and Cultural Studies Program at the University of Melbourne 
is an innovative and distinctive formation that fosters research and 
teaching in both Screen Studies and Cultural Studies, as well as the 
critical intersections between these disciplines.
