Are you an academic or media professional looking for an innovative and successful university to take your next step? At NTU, we recognise that our greatest strengths lie in the energy, expertise, and experience that our colleagues bring. NTU is a prize winning, top twenty University. Thanks to our £421million investment in estates and equipment across our three campuses since 2003/4, we deliver an inspirational learning environment for both staff and students. We achieved TEF Gold Standard for the quality of our teaching and in 2018 NTU was proud to be named Modern University of the Year in the Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide. Our research facilities allow us to shape lives and society, which is central to our mission and achievements of our aims.

The School of Arts and Humanities delivers inspiring and supportive undergraduate and postgraduate teaching; provides doctoral supervision; collaborates and engages with local, national and international industries, professions and communities; and undertakes high quality research. Academics in the School work in partnership with colleagues nationally, as well as in Europe, Asia, North and South America, Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific. This has the benefit of creating a varied and dynamic community that enhances research and the student experience more generally. The School hosts a range of innovative Research Centres and Projects, offering opportunities for collaborative work in many areas.

We are looking to recruit an ambitious and enthusiastic Lecturer/Senior Lecturer with the specialist knowledge to teach and research across the media production modules in our undergraduate and postgraduate taught portfolio of courses. With a professional background in media production, you will also have relevant teaching experience at HE level, well-developed knowledge of a range of different media areas and an awareness of trends and market expectations across the media landscape. You will have the opportunity to contribute to the design and delivery of an evolving curriculum that equips our graduates for work and further study. You will be keen to develop your own skills and knowledge through practice and/or research, and by maintaining and building links with media producers to ensure that the curriculum remains informed by the latest developments in technology and practice. Applicants with a specialism in community media, participatory media, multi-platform delivery, or television production, will be particularly welcome.

You will possess the experience and skills required to act as Course Leader and take responsibility for the management, planning, design and development of undergraduate course provision. Please refer to the Job Description and Person Specification, which highlight the specialist knowledge and experience we are seeking.
