Coventry University is committed to creating better futures and to be world leading in all that we do.  Having achieved a gold rating in the UK government’s Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF), we are determined to build on our position as a leading provider of flexible, innovative education and impactful, global research so as to offer transformative experiences to all our learning communities.

 Coventry University’s Faculty of Arts and Humanities is a vibrant international community of scholars, researchers and practitioners passionate about the future potential of the creative arts - at a particularly exciting time. The Faculty has always championed collaborative working to innovative approaches and provided access to leading-edge resources.  In autumn 2023 it will do so from an outstanding new Faculty building that will push the boundaries of how we create and innovate across a range of exciting disciplines.

Within the Faculty, the School of Media and Performing Arts is an award-winning, creative hub that has a history of innovation and industry collaboration, and which offers highly-regarded undergraduate and post graduate courses in film, photography and media production, music and acting, journalism and communication, digital and immersive media.

Working as a Teaching Fellow, we are looking to appoint an aspiring specialist in Media and Communication to contribute towards and support our teaching, learning and assessment on our BA and MA Media and Communication courses. You will be theoretically informed, passionate about education, and employability and committed to developing industry focussed opportunities that enhance the student experience.

Applicants will have Master’s level qualifications or a track record of industry experience in a relevant field. The successful candidate will demonstrate a commitment to ongoing innovation and improvement in pedagogy; those without a teaching qualification will need to undertake Coventry University’s PGCHE and/or secure HEA fellowship.

Successful applicants will also demonstrate the potential to contribute to research or scholarship, and /or enterprise through their academic or industry experience in the subject area.
