The Faculty of Arts and Human Sciences is inviting Prof/Reader level applications for an Associate Dean for Research, along with applications for six new academic posts in the areas of digital media arts and film, performing arts, arts management, and Learning & Teaching within a creative arts context.
The Arts at Surrey are dynamic and interconnected, in keeping with today’s cultural industries. Our environment is increasingly interdisciplinary, whilst comprising strong and distinctive subject areas. As a new colleague you will contribute to part of an expanding portfolio, from short courses to doctoral study, in Dance, Digital Media Arts, Film, Music, Sound Recording and Theatre. The School of Arts includes the Guildford School of Acting (GSA) - a leading international conservatoire - and the Lewis Elton Gallery. Our learning environment is suited to our special mix of scholarship, academic research and high-level arts practice; our facilities include performance venues, workshops, rehearsal and practice rooms, laboratories and post-production suites.
The Associate Dean (Research) post may have an academic background belonging to any discipline relevant to the Faculty of Arts and Human Sciences. Three of the Arts posts advertised (Reader/Professor, Senior Lecturer and Lecturer) specifically address digital media arts and film, a new growth area within the School. We also seek a Senior Lecturer in Arts Management/Leadership; a Lecturer in Performing Arts (this post holder will lead our new MA Contemporary Theatre Making); and a Senior Lecturer with a specialism in any of the School’s areas to lead our Learning & Teaching development. In all cases, successful candidates will have research expertise in one or more relevant fields, and outputs of international excellence.
