Job title: Lecturer in Filmmaking (Documentary)

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a *Lecturer in Filmmaking* to 
join our team in the School of Media, Culture and Society (MCS).

MCS is a large (circa 2500 student FTEs) multidisciplinary school where 
the social sciences and creative and cultural industries meet. We offer 
a supportive and aspirational environment in which staff and students 
work in partnership to create societal and cultural change.

The school of Media, Culture and Society also hosts the Creative Media 
Academy. The UWS Creative Media Academy, one of only 3 in Scotland, is a 
Creative Skillset accredited centre for excellence in creative industry 
teaching and research.


The Academy offers programmes focused on professional practice, 
dedicated to vocationally relevant education to anticipate the skills 
needs of the creative and cultural industries. Each programme pays close 
attention to fast-developing converging technologies and new business 
models in the creative industries.


Students learn through modules taught by practitioners reflecting 
current industry 'best practice'. Expertise across a range of 
interconnected disciplines is embedded across our different programmes 
including Television and Radio Broadcast Production, Filmmaking and 
Scriptwriting, Digital Art, Commercial Music and Music Technology, 
Performance, Broadcast Journalism, Computer Games Technology and Animation.


Recent guests to the academy include Oscar and BAFTA winners in 
documentary and fiction and we work with the very best in the industry. 
We are looking for a dynamic, creative and reflective individual to join 
our filmmaking team.

You will have the skills, knowledge and experience to play a key role in 
achieving in teaching, internationalisation, research and commercial 
activity. You will play a central role in our Screen and related 
disciplines primarily contributing to our popular BA (Hons) Filmmaking 
and Screenwriting and our soon to be offered MA Filmmaking.  Candidates 
should have a strong practitioner profile in documentary filmmaking and 
production.

You will be responsible for contributing to an excellent student 
experience by planning, developing and delivering an exciting curriculum 
utilising contemporary forms of pedagogy.  You will produce and publish 
excellent research outputs commensurate with the stage of your career 
and demonstrate an ability or potential to attract independent research 
funding.  An internationalised experience is central to the UWS student 
experience and therefore you will support initiatives for staff and 
students to engage in international activities.

You will be a highly motivated individual, passionate about your 
discipline and about contributing to the best possible student 
experience. You will be able to demonstrate a commitment to a successful 
academic career (research, enterprise, and teaching) and be comfortable 
working both autonomously and within and across a range of teams.

*A PhD in documentary filmmaking or a related field would be desirable. 
Successful candidates will be encouraged and supported to undertake a 
PhD or PhD by Practice.*

The successful candidate will be excited by the opportunity to work in a 
multi disciplinary environment and will seek to exploit the 
opportunities afforded by this.
