Senior Lecturer in Film Studies
University of the West of England, Bristol
Location: 	Bristol
Salary: 	£40,927 to £51,799 per annum , Grade H
Hours: 	Full Time
Contract Type: 	Permanent
Placed On: 	26th May 2022
Closes: 	15th June 2022
Job Ref: 	R04264

UWE Bristol’s expanding BA(Hons) Film Studies programme combines 
critical and industry-focused approaches, exploring the cultural role of 
cinema. In addition to the academic study of film, the degree 
incorporates practical elements of professional writing, festivals and 
curation.

You have a wide-ranging interest in film and will join a 
well-established and collegial team of six, supported by administrators, 
library services and technical staff.

Initially, you will deliver existing undergraduate modules, including 
Film Style and Meaning (first year) and Screen Representations: 
Difference and Diversity (second year), supervise third-year 
projects/dissertations and act as an Academic Personal Tutor.

In your second year, you will take on Programme Leader responsibilities, 
enabling your professional development and help shape the future of the 
degree. This will include contributing to curriculum development and 
designing new research-led modules.

You have a growing track-record of research outputs and knowledge 
exchange activities. You will become part of the Faculty’s Moving Image 
Research group (MIRGe), an interdisciplinary group focusing on 
historical, theoretical and practice-based research into screen 
cultures, production and education.

About you:

You have experience of teaching Film Studies in higher education 
contexts and a growing research profile. As part of a small teaching 
team, you will have excellent collaborative skills and be willing to 
take on new challenges in a supportive environment.

You have the flexibility to teach beyond your own research specialisms 
and to take on new areas of teaching where needed. You will have 
experience of leading, designing and delivering modules, taking student 
diversity and inclusivity into account, and working towards decolonising 
the curriculum.

You will have experience of designing and marking a range of assessment 
types, including digital formats such as video essays, live and recorded 
presentations/pitches, blogs and/or websites as well as essays, case 
studies, and dissertations.  For this reason, you will need strong 
digital technology skills (e.g., editing software, website and digital 
content production, and/or technology enhanced learning).

Our course encourages students to combine academic, creative and 
professional practice, so some experience of teaching professional 
skills in writing (e.g., screenwriting or film criticism), film 
programming and curation is desirable.

You show ambition in your ideas for the development of the programme, 
including commitment to UWE’s core values. You show leadership potential 
and project management skills, through programme leading or other 
activities, such as group research projects, network development, 
professional partnerships and/or knowledge exchange.

You have a good record of research, publications and other outputs, and 
be familiar with external funding opportunities and processes. You have 
clear plans for future projects and the development of your 
national/international profile. You will become a member of MIRGe, which 
supports moving image research and is committed to engaging with 
communities in the city, region and beyond.
