*Lecturer in Media Studies*


        Lincoln School of Film and Media

The Lincoln School of Film & Media is based in the College of Arts, 
located at the University’s main Brayford campus. We have been 
delivering media education at HE for over 20 years and we are currently 
amongst the very best Schools in the UK for media education and 
research. As a creative and dynamic environment, we have developed a 
strong reputation for the integrated nature of our courses, our 
relationship with the media, creative and cultural industries, and the 
strength of our research and professional practice activity across 
practical and theoretical areas. Even in these tough economic times, a 
very large number of our students go on to forge successful careers in 
these industries and other professions like them. As we move into the 
next 20 year phase we are determined to advance our status as one of the 
leading centres for media education in HE, with a distinctive reputation 
for creative entrepreneurship and with our students at the heart of 
everything we do.


Media Studies at LSFM emphasises speculation, experimentation and 
creativity. The successful candidates will play a key role in the 
School’s curriculum development and enhancement, supporting the 
development of our new BA Media Studies, which launched in 2016.

We promote a collaborative, research-engaged ethos, reflecting a 
diversity of interests and looking outwards to the world at large. 
Lincoln is distinctive in its commitment to a spirit of collective 
enquiry, inspired by the University’s ‘Student as Producer’ initiative. 
Through our teaching and research we aim to produce an intellectual 
commons and to participate in the transformation of the social world.


The School is actively working towards Athena Swan accreditation.
