About the Role

This role sits within the Animation team in the Department of Media, 
Performance and Communication, where 2023 sees us celebrate 55 years of 
media and film provision at the University. We currently offer a BA and 
MA in Animation as well as some PGR supervision.

You’d be joining a team of academics and practitioners in a department 
that also runs provision in creative media, film production, music, 
sound, literature and creative writing, philosophy, theatre, drama, VFX 
and virtual production.

This new post aligns with the University’s Academic Strategy ‘Towards 
2023’, which aims to balance learning and teaching with research, 
knowledge exchange and enterprise.

This post will ask the candidate to teach animation across Levels 3 to 6 
in particular, with some postgraduate teaching. Previous experience of 
animation in one or more of the following areas will be key: 2D, 3D, 
Stop motion or equivalent, and we are open to software experience, as 
long as it is industry standard/ recognised.

The department is part of the wider School of Digital, Technologies and 
Arts. The school is a highly interdisciplinary environment, bringing 
together areas as diverse as fine art, fashion, computing, engineering, 
media, theatre and various aspects of games production.  What brings us 
together is our commitment to improving people’s lives through creativity.

We are looking for experienced candidates who have demonstrable 
excellent subject knowledge in several areas but ideally with a focus on 
2D, 3D and/or stop motion. Our department’s signature research 
methodology is practice as research, but you are not limited to this 
necessarily.

As a member of academic staff, you will have the opportunity to work in 
a bustling campus with access to a range of sector leading technologies.

The department is committed to building a diverse community. We are 
encouraging talented people join our academic team. All appointments are 
made on merit, on the bases of the interview and applications. We 
particularly welcome applications from suitably qualified female and 
ethnic minority academics, as they are currently under-represented in 
positions within the department.
