Dear Colleagues,

Bournemouth University’s vision is worldwide recognition as a leading 
university for inspiring learning, advancing knowledge and enriching 
society through the fusion of education, research and practice. Our 
highly skilled and creative workforce is comprised of individuals drawn 
from a broad cross section of the globe, who reflect a variety of 
backgrounds, talents, perspectives and experiences that help to build 
our global learning community.

The Faculty of Media and Communication at Bournemouth University is one 
of the largest of its kind in the world and has a global reputation for 
combining research and teaching practice.

As a Lecturer in Multimedia Journalism, your focus will be on journalism 
and communication, its theory and practice. You will be primarily 
involved in the development of learning and teaching in the area of 
multimedia journalism, both undergraduate and postgraduate, with 
consideration for the successful candidate’s areas of expertise. 
Teaching responsibilities may involve unit leadership or input on one or 
more of the following units depending on expertise: Immersive & 
Interactive Storytelling, Broadcast Journalism, Audio Journalism, 
Dissertations, and Major Multimedia Project. Candidates with expertise 
in data journalism and use of emerging digital technologies in 
journalism are particularly welcome. You will bring a strong academic 
profile to bear on practical learning and research-led teaching, 
combined with an ability to innovate. You will be provided with a 
balanced workload, which takes account of research and professional 
practice.

You will be a team player who will primarily be involved with the 
teaching teams on the BA (Hons) Multimedia Journalism and MA Multimedia 
Journalism, but may be asked to contribute to other programmes in the 
department. You will be enthusiastic about student-centred pedagogy. You 
will be willing to engage in leadership at unit level, as well as 
performing the duties of an academic advisor. You will contribute to 
employability and professional engagement with relevant internal and 
external organisations as appropriate, at a regional, national and 
international level. You will be expected to demonstrate an emerging 
body of published work, with a research plan for the short to medium 
term, and willingness to participate fully in developing the research 
environment in the Faculty.

You will be qualified to Doctorate level or be able to demonstrate the 
ability to create and disseminate knowledge at an equivalent level and 
the capability to convert this knowledge into a doctorate in a maximum 
of 3-5 years from the date of appointment. You will be research active 
and committed to a culture of academic excellence and continuous 
improvement.

Applications for fractional appointments will be considered.

For further information and discussion or the opportunity for an 
informal visit, please contact Dr Shelley Thompson, Head of Department 
of Communication and Journalism, either by email at

a diverse community through attracting, developing and retaining staff

staff to achieve a balance between work and their personal lives, we 
will also consider proposals for flexible working or job share arrangements.
