[Commlist] RA Post in Japanese Cinema and Media

https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DLM315/research-associate-in-japanese-cinema-film-and-media-practice

Due to our recent success in winning a Leverhulme Research Project grant 
at the University of Sheffield, we are seeking to appoint a two-year 
Research Associate (PRDA) in Japanese Cinema/Film and Media Practice.

This Woman’s Screen Work?: Creativity, Care and Gender in Asian Film, 
captures and examines the experiences of women working in the Japanese 
Screen Industries. Exploring the careers of both above-the-line 
(directors, producers, screenwriters etc.) and below-the-line (sound, 
design, hair and make-up etc.) workers, the wider project will explore 
the contemporary lives and experiences of those working in the Asian 
Screen Industries and how they navigate both local and global film 
structures and networks.

 Japanese language ability will be a requirement as the aim of this 
role is to aid the Principal Investigator (PI) and the project team in 
collecting and recording both locally-based interviews in Japan and 
online activities (as needed).  You will work with PI, CoIs and local 
researchers to create the research film. This post will require frequent 
travel to Asia and the ability to work independently.

The project team will follow the principle that authors appear in 
alphabetical order on all co-authored publications and the Research 
Associate will co-author at least one journal article, co-author the 60 
min research film, and be a named collaborator on the collected edition 
book.

You will have a PhD (or equivalent and please contact the PI as we are 
open to people from diverse background experience) in a relevant 
field(s), a developing research profile, and a commitment to 
interdisciplinary collaboration, and will contribute actively to the 
project activities.

We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from 
across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other 
to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers 
greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
