Lecturer in World Cinema Grade 7 (0.9fte)

The Department of Languages, Cultures & Film wishes to appoint to a fixed-term Lectureship (Teaching and Scholarship) in World Cinema to provide cover for a colleague on a Leverhulme Fellowship. The successful candidate will be a key member of our Film Studies team, working with colleagues to maintain and enhance our thriving undergraduate programme, which has experienced significant growth and over recent years, and to help develop and deliver our new MA in Film Studies. Applicants should have a PhD in Film Studies or a relevant related discipline and provide clear evidence of teaching experience in World Cinema (understood broadly, i.e. encompassing streaming and other platforms). Candidates should also be able to demonstrate sensitivity to diverse cultural contexts; a focus on transnational and intercultural approaches to Film Studies is what makes our degree programme in Liverpool unique and attractive, and the department actively encourages comparative, global, transnational, and transcultural approaches. Active engagement with scholarship in the field of Film Studies and/or World Cinema is expected, as is the demonstration of leadership in high-quality teaching innovations. The post is available from 1 September 2024 until 31 August 2025 working on a 0.9fte basis.
