/Join an international collaborative project researching film and visual 
history in Uganda/

We’re looking for a Research Fellow in African Film and Visual History 
to join the international team responsible for the new research project 
/The Uganda Film Unit Archive: Digitisation, Research and Restitution/, 
funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. The project is 
focused on a recently rediscovered collection of news and public 
information film reels from the Uganda Film Unit (UFU) c.1947-1981; it 
aims to map the contents of the collection, undertake historical and 
ethnographic research, and reconnect the films with Ugandan publics and 
audiences through a programme of digital restitution co-designed with 
project partners. The project is led by Darren Newbury, Professor of 
Photographic History, School of Humanities and Social Science, 
University of Brighton, and Richard Vokes, Professor of Anthropology and 
International Development, School of Social Sciences, University of 
Western Australia; and involves collaboration with the Uganda 
Broadcasting Corporation.

You will be working closely with Prof. Newbury and Prof. Vokes and play 
an important role in the content mapping of the digitised UFU archive 
and related archival and historical research; supporting fieldwork, data 
collection and analysis relating to the responses to the archival 
footage among Ugandan publics and communities; and disseminating the 
project findings through conference presentation and publication.

The appointment is for a fixed term (0.5 full time equivalent) with an 
ideal start date of 01/12/25 and an end date of 30/09/28.
