The School of Communication and Media 
<https://www.ulster.ac.uk/faculties/arts-humanities-and-social-sciences/communication-and-media> is 
looking to appoint a Lecturer in Screen Production to teach into the BA 
Screen Production 
<https://www.ulster.ac.uk/courses/202223/screen-production-25295> course 
based on our Belfast Campus, to contribute to Research and Impact and to 
link with other Academic and Technical Support staff in the wider Ulster 
Screen Academy.

The role will focus on leading core introductory modules in the Screen 
Production curriculum (see prospectus for details 
<https://www.ulster.ac.uk/courses/202223/screen-production-25295#modules>), 
and developing modules at later stages on the program linked to the 
appointee’s specific areas of practical expertise and/or research in TV 
and Film Production as well as supervising practice projects and 
practice oriented research projects. A strong subject pedagogy and focus 
on pastoral work to introduce undergraduate students to the discipline 
is desirable. The appointment will be supported by a strong technical 
team, with media industry backgrounds, to help students develop their 
creativity, and understand the productive links between media theory and 
production. As an institution committed to widening access to education, 
we are heavily committed to work that embraces a wide range of student 
backgrounds. The school and institution are committed to the development 
of student centred, active and applied pedagogies to 
develop students’ academic, technical and professional attributes.

The Screen Production course is part of the Ulster Screen Academy 
<https://www.ulster.ac.uk/screen-academy> which has been established to 
develop productive links between the School of Communication and Media, 
the School of Arts and Humanities and Belfast School of Art; linking 
curricula and research across a broad range of screen based subjects 
such as Animation, Film, TV Production, Games Design, Interaction 
Design, Immersive and Interactive Media.

Screen Production is a new, industry facing flagship course, now 
in it’s third year, situated on the vibrant new £370m Belfast Campus 
<https://www.ulster.ac.uk/campuses/gbd>. The course is built on a long 
heritage of expertise in Media Studies research and scholarship for over 
30 years at Ulster University, and has just expanded into exciting areas 
in VFX and Virtual Production with a £1.2m HERC investment in motion 
capture and an in-camera visual effects virtual production studio. The 
successful candidate will work alongside colleagues across Ulster as 
part of the university’s £72m Studio Ulster project 
<https://www.brcd-innovation.co.uk/projects/smil>, one of the pillar 
innovation projects for the Belfast Region City Deal. Studio Ulster 
brings world class facilities and research environment for new and 
emerging techniques and technologies in the screen industries.

The School of Communication and Media has a long and distinguished 
history as a centre for media research. We are keen to recruit 
internationally excellent scholars, returnable to REF in the subject 
area, broadly construed. We are also committed to the Research/Teaching 
Nexus and the important links between staff’s Research and the 
curriculum design. The school has a commitment to at least a 20% 
research time allocation for all research active staff who are 
developing research outputs, engaging in impact activity and working on 
activities which contribute to the REF portfolio.
