Expertise in film dramaturgy will be considered an asset. Your research is interdisciplinary and fits into at least one of ASCA's research constellations (see above).

You are able to develop and provide modules on on a wide range of media topics, in particular film, as well as its intersections with digital and/or social media, popular and visual culture, the arts and other related disciplines. Important is proven flexibility in teaching on topics beyond your own research focus and expertise, and the ability to offer inspiring lectures and tutorials in the BA, MA and minor programmes that aspire to a diverse group of students.
