Job description
The Department of Culture, Media & Creative Industries (CMCI) seeks to hire a Lecturer in Culture, Media & Creative Industries Education focusing on Cultural Entrepreneurship. This Academic Education Pathway (AEP) post will contribute to teaching, engagement, and pastoral support across our BA Culture, Media & Creative Industries and three postgraduate programmes: Arts & Cultural Management MA; Cultural & Creative Industries MA and Global Media Industries MA.

We seek applicants who can contribute to our goals of delivering innovative, inclusive, and socially-engaged education, and the ongoing diversification of our curriculum. In particular, we are looking for candidates who can demonstrate both practitioner experience and academic teaching, scholarship and enquiry, enabling students to bridge theory and practice. The successful post-holder will play a central role in supporting students’ knowledge, understanding, and applied skills development relating to entrepreneurial management (e.g. innovative marketing, budgeting, planning, strategy etc.). They will also champion critical approaches to arts, culture and entrepreneurship, building on existing research, including from within CMCI.

The post-holder will work closely with colleagues, complementing existing strengths in the Department and Faculty. They will lead on the development of new links with a range of internal and external stakeholders, facilitating educational innovation and providing a new hub for cultural entrepreneurship.

Indicatively, the successful post-holder will lead on developing the new Level 6 module Social and Cultural Entrepreneurship, and convene the Level 7 Cultural Management: The Experience. They will also contribute to team-taught modules, such as Cultural Production in a Changing World (Level 4); Creative Living and Learning (Level 5); Events and Festivals, Managing Arts & Culture (Level 6); and The Entrepreneurial Opportunity (Level 7).

The successful candidate will either hold a PhD in Culture, Media & Creative Industries or a closely related discipline (or be very near to completion i.e. submitted but awaiting viva/defence), or they will have equivalent experience in a relevant professional or industry context. In either case, they will be able to demonstrate an excellent knowledge and understanding of a field of expertise relating to cultural entrepreneurship. This post does not require independent research and the delivery of research outputs. However, the Department will support scholarship fitting to the Academic Education Pathway role which prioritises research on pedagogic areas.

The post-holder will be a highly effective educator, with experience of teaching and assessment in Higher Education (preferably in the UK), a commitment to student learning and welfare, and an aptitude for working within an interdisciplinary framework. We encourage applications from members of groups with protected characteristics that have been marginalised on any grounds enumerated under the Equality Act. We particularly welcome applications from Black and minority ethnic candidates, as they are under-represented at this level.

In applying for this role please include a covering letter clearly indicating how you meet the essential and desirable criteria below, and an up-to-date CV. Applicants are asked to include, as part of their covering letter, a separate statement describing past experience of, and/or future plans for, promoting diversity and inclusion.

This post will be offered on a full-time, indefinite contract. Due to commence in July 2022.
