Professor of Race and Media

Are you a leading scholar of race and media? Are you interested in 
developing the area in a top department of media and communication? Are 
you an experienced academic leader looking to support the growth of 
early career researchers?

The School of Media and Communication at the University of Leeds is a 
highly ranked department with a commitment to excellence in both 
research and teaching. We are ranked in 2nd in the UK for Communication 
and Media Studies (Complete University Guide 2021) and 32nd in the world 
for Communication and Media Studies (QS World University Rankings by 
Subject 2021). In the 2014 Research Excellence Framework we ranked in 
the top ten departments in the UK with 82% of our research judged to be 
either ‘world leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’.

In recent years, the School has demonstrated increased research and 
teaching expertise in social inequalities and social justice, and we aim 
to build on these strengths through significant investment into the area 
of race and media. To support continuing growth of the area, the 
appointed Professor of Race and Media will lead the subsequent 
recruitment of two lecturers in race and media. The successful candidate 
will be expected to enhance the School’s research and teaching 
activities and work with colleagues to develop our international profile 
and standing. Applications are welcome from candidates whose research 
explores race and media in any setting (Global North or Global South); 
in relation to any form of media or communication; and with relevance to 
any of our research strengths in media industries and cultural 
production, journalism, political communication, global communication, 
visual media and communication, digital cultures, and gender and media.

Our commitment to inclusion

As an international research-intensive university with a strong 
commitment to student education, we aim to create an inclusive 
environment that attracts, supports and retains the best students and 
staff from all backgrounds and from across the world.

In line with this vision, the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Cultures 
is committed to fostering a culture of inclusion, respect and equality 
of opportunity. We select candidates on the basis of merit and ability 
and aspire to further diversify our Faculty community. We particularly 
welcome and encourage applications from candidates belonging to groups 
that have been under-represented in the University including, but not 
limited to: Black, Asian and ethnically diverse people; people who 
identify as LGBT+; and people with disabilities.
