[ecrea] Job Posting in New Zealand

Please find details below for a production-focused full-time on-going 
lecturer position in Wellington, New Zealand

Applications are invited for a permanent Lectureship/Senior Lectureship 
specialising in digital media production within the Media Studies and 
Expressive Arts programmes at Massey University, Wellington Campus. The 
level of appointment will depend on qualifications and experience.

Digital media production involves the making of screen media texts, the 
study of the ways in which they construct and convey meaning, and of the 
social, cultural and political contexts of media production and 
reception. The School is looking for an appointee who can take a 
leadership role in the teaching of two or more of the following areas: 
media production (including specialisations in videography, sound, 
editing, and post-production, among others), feminist approaches to 
media studies and media production, media script-writing, trans-media 
narrative, documentary, and creative communication.

The successful candidate will teach and research with broadcast quality 
recording equipment and a well-resourced computer lab, and will be 
expected to manage these facilities with some technical assistance. The 
School is currently undertaking a review of its teaching programmes and 
the successful applicant will also be expected to take an active role in 
this process.

The School of English and Media Studies has a strong record in teaching 
excellence and pastoral care in an interactive learning environment. 
Digital media production is situated within both the Media Studies and 
Expressive Arts majors/minors for the Bachelor of Communication. The 
Media Studies major also includes undergraduate courses which focus on 
studies of gender and race, media industries, social media, film, 
television, popular culture, and advertising. An ability to contribute 
to these areas, and particularly to the first-year introduction to Media 
Studies course, will be an advantage.

The Expressive Arts major is a cross-disciplinary programme comprising 
digital media production, creative writing, and theatre arts and 
performance studies. The ability to engage across these disciplines, and 
in particular to contribute to the foundation paper 139.133 Creative 
Communication, are also desirable.

The successful candidate may also be expected to teach media practice at 
graduate level, and to undertake supervision of students engaging in 
creative media research.

The School teaches courses in internal and distance learning modes 
(including online delivery), at both undergraduate and postgraduate 
levels. At the Wellington campus, most of the teaching is delivered to 
internal students enrolled in Communication qualifications which are 
cross-disciplinary in nature, involving a mixture of Business and 
Humanities subjects.

The successful candidate will have an advanced qualification – 
preferably a completed PhD, but consideration will also be given to 
candidates with a completed MFA (or equivalent) who have relevant 
teaching and production experience. University teaching experience and 
academic publication or other evidence of on-going research activity, 
including creative work, will be expected.

The start time for this position is negotiable, but we would like to 
have the appointee in place as early as possible, and no later than 1 
February 2017. Enquiries of an Academic nature about the position should 
be directed to Mrs Carol Seelye, School of English and Media Studies, ph 
64-6-951-7549, or (c.a.seelye /at/ massey.ac.nz) <mailto:(c.a.seelye /at/ massey.ac.nz)>
