[Commlist] Job Vacancy: Professor of Media Industries, University of Nottingham, UK

The Department of Cultural, Visual and Media studies is seeking to 
appoint a Professor of Media Industries. The Department is part of the 
School of Cultures, Languages and Area Studies, and we are looking for 
an outstanding academic to join this vibrant research and learning 
community.

Our School thrives through the different ideas and experiences of 
colleagues, who come from a mix of cultures and backgrounds. We strive 
to foster a welcoming, inspiring and supportive workplace. We are 
seeking applications from candidates whose background, experience and 
identity broadens and enhances the diversity of our existing team and 
would especially welcome applications from members of groups who are 
currently underrepresented in the School, particularly Black, Asian and 
minority ethnic scholars. We understand that having a mix of 
perspectives, lived experiences and approaches to teaching and research 
enhances our day-to-day work and enriches our School community.

The Department takes pride in supporting a research culture that is 
inclusive, supportive, ambitious and developmental for staff at all 
stages of their career, and within which individual and collaborative 
research can flourish, can influence the wider discipline, and have an 
impact far beyond the academy. We are therefore particularly pleased 
that 90% of our research environment has been evaluated as ‘world 
leading’ in REF2021 (the UK’s Research Excellence Framework) the 
national assessment of UK university research.

We seek candidates with research expertise in transformations within the 
Media Industries that may include one or more of the following 
specialisms:  Emergent media technologies, Sustainability, Immersive 
Media, Equity and Inclusion or Cultures and practices in the Global 
South. You will undertake a substantive programme of research consistent 
with professorial standing, leading to significant grant applications, 
contributing to potential impact case studies and research outputs.  We 
are currently revising our undergraduate curriculum and implementing 
significant innovation within our learning provision; the successful 
candidate will lead a similar project across our postgraduate taught 
provision on the basis of their innovative teaching practice and 
experience.  Ideally, this would speak to a set of global and decolonial 
perspectives and imperatives.

You will have responsibility for contributing to leading the department 
in administrative terms as well as serving as Head of Department in 
rotation with colleagues. You will contribute to undergraduate and 
postgraduate teaching as well as supervising postgraduate research students.

The successful candidate will be expected to raise the profile of the 
Department of Cultural, Media and Visual Studies both within the 
University and beyond, at the national and international levels.

Informal enquiries may be addressed to Helen Kennedy, via email

Please note that applications sent directly to this email address will

This position is available on a permanent, full-time basis (36.25 hours 
per week). Job share arrangements may be considered.
