The School is looking to appoint someone to work with Dr Brett Mills on 
a 3-year AHRC-funded research project. Candidates should have experience 
of empirical research work, including researching media industries 
and/or audiences; good communication, interpersonal and team-working 
skills; a PhD in the humanities or social sciences.

This project examines the nature of creativity within the British 
television comedy industry through: engagement with those who work 
within that industry via interviews, participant observation and two 
workshops; the mapping of the development of specific projects and the 
processes they go through towards completion or abandonment; the 
analysis of both academic and policy literature on notions of 
creativity, and the application and examination of that literature in 
response to the primary research.

This full-time, fixed term post is available from 1 January 2012 until
