The University of Southampton is looking for two Lecturers in Digital Media with research interests in Artificial Intelligence to join the Film department. These posts are available from August 1 2024. Details on the role further below.

Informal enquiries may be addressed to the Head of Film, Prof. Shelley Cobb ((s.cobb /at/ soton.ac.uk) <mailto:(s.cobb /at/ soton.ac.uk)>). Whilst this post is offered on a full-time basis, hours are not a barrier, and we are interested in individuals wishing to work 0.6 FTE and above.

You can apply at jobs.soton.ac.uk. REF 2659424AR https://jobs.soton.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?ref=2659424AR <https://jobs.soton.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?ref=2659424AR>

/The University of Southampton is in the top 1% of world universities and is one of the UK’s top 15 research-intensive universities.  Committed to excellence in all we do, we are growing and investing in our research and people to accelerate our remarkable achievements. With particular focus on four key impact themes chosen to build on the university’s existing strengths and to address the most complex societal and environmental challenges: Artificial Intelligence, sustainability and resilience, decarbonisation and engineering better health, this role is integral to our aim of making a lasting difference. /https://uosacademicrecruitment.webrecruit.co.uk/ <https://uosacademicrecruitment.webrecruit.co.uk/>


The Film Department at Southampton has an excellent reputation for teaching and research. For REF 2021, 95% of our research was judged ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’, and we achieved the highest scores for impact beyond the academy. We have close interdisciplinary links with other members of the School, Faculty and the wider University. Our research-led teaching across film, television and digital media includes modules on history, theory, industry, and cultural studies.

*The role *

These posts are REF (Research Excellence Framework) led and require academics with a developing and growing research profile that indicates an existing or developing national reputation in their area of expertise, as well as strong potential for participation and/or leadership in grant applications.

*About you *

You will be capable of engaging with critical questions about the place of artificial intelligence in society from a humanities or social science perspective. Your research agenda will address a larger question of social importance (sustainability, policy/governance, wellbeing or social resilience), and its potential to impact beyond the academy will be an advantage. An ability to teach undergraduate students in modules dealing with digital labour, algorithmic cultures, and automated systems and decision-making processes will be highly regarded, and we are keen to hear from applicants whose teaching and research expertise can productively engage with media industries. The ability of your research to have impact beyond the academy and/or familiarity with computational methods may be advantageous.
