We are delighted to be recruiting two new permanent colleagues to join the flourishing Department of Cultural, Media and Visual Studies in the School of Cultures, Languages and Area Studies at the University of Nottingham. They will join a thoroughly interdisciplinary community of scholars with global perspectives and approaches and contribute to a vibrant and collegial research-led learning environment. In 2025-26, we are launching a completely new suite of undergraduate programmes aiming to position our world-leading research at the centre of the learning experience and prepare our students to be critical, active and adaptive participants in the increasingly complex and technologized cultural, creative and media environments of the future.
To help deliver these exciting new programmes, we seek applicants with research and/or teaching expertise in one or more of the following three broad areas, ideally with knowledge and experience in one or more of the listed sub-areas, and ideally with perspectives that look beyond the global North:
* International Media and Communications:
o Platform Studies
o Digital Cultures
o Screen Studies
* Critical Theory and Cultural Studies:
o Memory Studies
o Material Culture
o Sound Studies
* Cultural and Creative Industries:
o Heritage and Museum Studies
o Creative Labour
o Sustainability
One of the two posts is a permanent Assistant Professor in Media and Cultural Studies. The successful applicant will lead and deliver individual and collaborative teaching and research in media and cultural studies, generate income by developing and winning support for innovative research proposals and funding bids, and build impactful partnerships and engagement with external organisations and publics. Applicants should have a proven track record of high-quality publications and a clear research strategy that aligns with the ambitions of the department, the School and the University.
Candidates must hold a PhD or equivalent in relevant subject areas (e.g. Media Studies, Cultural Studies, Communication Studies, Cultural/Creative Industries) and have previous experience of teaching at Higher Education level, including associated administrative roles.
The post is offered on a full-time (36.25 hours per week), permanent contract. Job-share arrangements may be considered.
Candidates should attach a CV, publication list, and a covering letter stating why they are suitable for the role with their application.
Informal enquiries may be addressed to Dr Colin Wright, Head of Department, via email colin.wright@nottingham.ac.uk. Please note that applications sent directly to this email address will not be accepted.
