[ecrea] Principal Lecturer in Digital Media at University of Roehampton

Applications are invited for a full-time, Principal Lectureship in 
Digital Media at the University of Roehampton. The post-holder will play 
a leading role in the Department of Media, Culture and Language. A 
central part of this role will be as the quality ‘link tutor’ for the 
Department’s growing collaborative relationship with QA, which is one of 
the UK’s leading IT training providers. QA currently delivers a BSc 
(Hons) Digital and Technology Solutions and is about to launch a BA 
(Hons) Computing with Foundation degree, validated by the University of 
Roehampton. This role therefore involves oversight of this partnership 
in accordance with the regulations and requirements of the University, 
and development of a strong professional relationship with colleagues at 
QA. In addition, the post holder will be expected to develop and lead on 
a new portfolio of programmes for the Department that will prepare 
students for careers as digital media creatives in the creative 
industries. It is anticipated that the post-holder will have strong 
links to the creative industries themselves, and will be able to develop 
academic degree programmes with a strong focus on employability.

As a Principal Lecturer, you will have a solid background in learning 
and teaching, course development and quality assurance in higher 
education. Both in the Department and with QA, you will be overseeing 
areas such as annual review, periodic review, assessment and examination 
boards in line with the regulations and requirements of the University, 
as well as promoting University learning and teaching enhancement 
initiatives and helping to develop new collaborative programmes with our 
partners in the digital media area. The post holder will contribute to 
building a national and international profile for the Department, with a 
clear mission to deliver excellence in teaching and learning, employable 
graduates and world-class research.

We are seeking applications from candidates who are creative, committed, 
entrepreneurial and ambitious, with a PhD and relevant professional 
experience. They will be able to work positively with the Head of 
Department and other academic colleagues, contributing to building a 
national and international profile for the Department with a clear 
mission to deliver employable graduates and world-class research. 
Roehampton offers an excellent research environment and strong support 
for research active staff including generous research allowance, 
conference support, research grant application support, mentoring and 
sabbatical.

The University of Roehampton is the best modern university in London 
according the Complete University Guide 2015, the Sunday Times Good 
University Guide 2015 and the Guardian University Guide 2016. It has a 
beautiful parkland campus, located in the heart of south-west London, 
and offers excellent facilities for staff and students.
