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.
