The Division of Media, Communication and Performing Arts (MCPA) seeks to 
appoint an experienced Lecturer in Digital Media and Communications. The 
primary purpose of this role is to work collaboratively with an 
established team of academics to deliver undergraduate and postgraduate 
courses, enhancing our portfolio of digital media, communications and 
public relations modules.

QMU has a long track record of delivering industry-relevant media, 
communications, and film degrees. Joining an established team of media 
and communications academics, you would contribute to the delivery and 
leadership of existing modules from QMU’s well-established marketing, 
media, and PR courses to provide students with a practical, broad and 
employable skill set.

The successful candidate will combine theoretical knowledge with 
up-to-date industry-relevant skills in the broad area of strategic 
communications. As the post holder may take on the role of Programme 
Leader for our BA (Hons) Digital Marketing and PR programme, previous 
experience in higher education is required, particularly a strong 
understanding of quality assurance processes.

Applicants would normally be educated to postgraduate level (or 
equivalent) in a relevant subject area and must have professional 
industry experience and/or strong industry connections.

In the first year of appointment, the post holder would primarily focus 
on delivering existing degree programmes and may take on Programme 
Leader responsibilities at the undergraduate level. In addition, they 
may be required to contribute towards developing new programmes and 
modules related to their knowledge and expertise.

The Division of Media, Communication and Performing Arts offers 
undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in the creative and cultural 
industries. Staff within the Division submitted to REF 2021. If the 
post-holder has a track record of relevant research outputs and wishes 
to be appointed on a Teaching and Research contract, then they may be 
able to join the Research and Knowledge Exchange Centre for Culture in 
Society.
