Vacancy No: 100372
Applications are invited for a Lectureship in Media in the Centre for
Media & Film Studies starting on 1 September 2008.
The Centre for Media & Film Studies at SOAS is a major new initiative
in the study of non-western media and film that runs a doctoral
research programme and three distinct MA degree courses. It is now
embarking on a BA in Global Media and Film, the first such degree in
Britain, with the support of colleagues across the faculties of SOAS.
It is intended to appoint a media scholar who is able to convene and
team teach on the integrated core courses on the new undergraduate
degree, as well as teach more advanced courses in critical media and
cultural studies. We are looking for someone who has particular
interests in the theory/practice divide and proven experience in
professional broadcasting and multimedia practice; particular interest
in documentary film, news and current affairs and in global media
distribution would be welcome. The ability to teach some of the
following options is highly desirable: global television cultures;
reading popular culture; gender, sexuality and representation;
television genres (including advertising, reality television, soap
opera); and digital cultures. The person appointed would also offer
new theoretical and practical options, depending on their specific
research interests which should fit within the regions of SOAS and
their diasporas.
The candidate appointed will also be expected to teach on our MA
courses and to supervise PhD students. This new appointment represents
a significant investment in the further development of the Centre both
thematically and in regional spread. The Centre's programmes are
combined with a wide range of other expertise at SOAS and it
collaborates with a number of other London Colleges to provide a
unique environment for teaching and research.
