Subject: Two Senior Research Fellows / Research Fellows - Digital Media
Coventry School of Art and Design
Two Senior Research Fellows / Research Fellows - Digital Media
£35,247 - £50,187 (Research Fellow) or £45,942 - £57,324 (Senior Research Fellow) pro rata per annum, full-time, fixed-term 12-month appointment from July 2013
Digital media is one of Coventry School of Art and Designs (CSAD) main research themes. The RAE 2008 acknowledges world-leading research in all CSADs departments. 60% of the research submitted was judged as internally excellent. Digital media is also the focus of the Universitys cross-institutional Digital Media Grand Challenge and its new Centre for Disruptive Media (http://disruptivemedia.org.uk/).
Research in digital media at Coventry has three main areas of activity:
Open Media;
Creative Archiving and Digitisation;
Immersive, Mobile and Interactive Communications.
All three areas adopt a critical Digital Humanities approach which involves exploring and experimenting with some of the humanities core foundational concepts and values, both theoretically and practically.
This includes ideas of the author, subjectivity, originality, the book, the archive, the law, copyright, piracy and the (post)human.
Research Opportunity
Two fixed-term research positions are available in digital media to support:
1) the development of a Scholarly Publishing Office within the University, designed to open, share, and preserve the Universitys scholarship and research on an open access, open data and open source basis.
2) the exploration of the potential offered to HE by the Open Education movement in the context of the disruptive effects the Internet, social and mobile media are having on current university systems and practices.
Candidates at Senior Research Fellow level should hold a PhD, or equivalent, in an appropriate digital media-related subject, supported by a strong international academic research profile in digital media, digital humanities, digital publishing or open education. Their professional experience should be reflected in a significant number of peer reviewed publications and conferences presentations, as well as a successful track record of research funding, both as Principal Investigator and in support of Principal Investigator. In addition, they should be able to provide evidence of leadership in relation to a research group or network or community of practice.
Candidates at Research Fellow level should have recently completed a PhD or be close to completing a PhD, or equivalent, in an appropriate digital media-related subject. They will have at least 3 years experience of working as a researcher in digital media, digital humanities, digital publishing or open education. Their professional experience should be reflected in their peer reviewed publications and conference presentations, as well as their record of assisting Principal Investigators in preparing research funding bids. In addition, they should be able to substantiate a current knowledge and understanding of their discipline.
