[ecrea] Vacancy - Course Leader - Digital Television Production (Practice and Theory)

Salary: £44,839 p.a. + Benefits

A full-time vacancy has arisen to lead Ravensbourne’s new Digital 
Television Production BA (Honours). The course has been developed 
through a wide consultation with industry and has been highly commended 
for being forward facing, innovative, and exciting. This is likely to 
become one of Ravensbourne’s flagship programmes of study, building on 
our longstanding reputation for training television directors, 
producers, cameramen and women, and broadcast technologists.

The post-holder will also be encouraged to undertake applied research 
into Digital Television, working (for example) with television and 
distribution companies, and with the wider creative industries.

The successful candidate is likely to have the following skills and outlook:

An advanced knowledge of ‘traditional’ television production and 
operations processes and techniques - live/recorded/studio/location.

The ability to oversee, and teach, the use of Media Asset Management 
systems, including ingest and retrieval, and tapeless production processes.

Enthusiasm for, and an understanding of, digital television including 
‘Connected Television’ and ‘Second Screen’ practices and emerging 
production processes including the capture and re-purposing of content 
for viewing on other devices.

An awareness of emerging audience consumption behaviours and 
socio-economic eco-systems relating to digital television and 
IP-delivered televisual media.

Experience of working within a digital production culture which is 
increasingly blending broadcast and new media paradigms. An 
understanding of the use of Agile project management techniques to meet 
deadlines, and how the television (and televisual) industries manage 
inter-disciplinary teams.

Enthusiasm for exploring new ways of teaching Digital Television, for 
example through extra-curricula Boot-camps organised for re-enforcing 
practice, the use of online ‘sandpit’ areas to assist students to learn 
how to run online video channels/stream TV, and the exploration of TV apps.

The enthusiasm and drive to draw together staff and sessional teams to 
create a ‘Production House’ which will enable the Digital Television 
students to work on projects with (for example) Ravensbourne’s Broadcast 
Technology, Web Media, Motion Graphics, and Editing and Post Production 
courses.

The ability to contribute to both internal and external activities such 
as promoting the course at conferences, encouraging work placements, 
liaising with industry, and representing the Digital Television 
Production BA Hons. nationally and internationally.
