/The University of Southampton is in the top 1% of world universities 
and is one of the UK’s top 15 research-intensive universities. 
 Committed to excellence in all we do, we are growing and investing in 
our research and people to accelerate our remarkable achievements. With 
particular focus on four key impact themes chosen to build on the 
university’s existing strengths and to address the most complex societal 
and environmental challenges: Artificial Intelligence, sustainability 
and resilience, decarbonisation and engineering better health, this role 
is integral to our aim of making a lasting difference. /

The Film Department at Southampton has an excellent reputation for 
teaching and research. For REF 2021, 95% of our research was judged 
‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’, and we achieved the 
highest scores for impact beyond the academy. We have close 
interdisciplinary links with other members of the School, Faculty and 
the wider University. Our research-led teaching across film, television 
and digital media includes modules on history, theory, industry, and 
cultural studies.

*The role *

These posts are REF (Research Excellence Framework) led and require 
academics with a developing and growing research profile that indicates 
an existing or developing national reputation in their area of 
expertise, as well as strong potential for participation and/or 
leadership in grant applications.

*About you *

You will be capable of engaging with critical questions about the place 
of artificial intelligence in society from a humanities or social 
science perspective. Your research agenda will address a larger question 
of social importance (sustainability, policy/governance, wellbeing or 
social resilience), and its potential to impact beyond the academy will 
be an advantage. An ability to teach undergraduate students in modules 
dealing with digital labour, algorithmic cultures, and automated systems 
and decision-making processes will be highly regarded, and we are keen 
to hear from applicants whose teaching and research expertise can 
productively engage with media industries. The ability of your research 
to have impact beyond the academy and/or familiarity with computational 
methods may be advantageous.
