The Liverpool Screen School seeks to appoint two posts in practical filmmaking in the Film Studies department to teach documentary and fiction filmmaking on undergraduate and post graduate programmes. You will be filmmakers with expertise in directing, producing and craft skills (cinematography, lighting, sound and postproduction).

The Liverpool Screen School, part of LJMU's Faculty of Arts, Professional and Social Studies, offers undergraduate programmes in Creative Writing, Drama, Film Studies, Journalism and Media Production, together with postgraduate courses in Film, Documentary, Immersive Media, International Journalism, Writing and Screenwriting. 

Film Studies is a well-established department with a growing research profile and reputation, particularly in Film Festivals, Transnational Cinemas, Documentary filmmaking, Black American Film, Sound and Audio-visual essays. The team currently comprises eight members of staff, all of whom are research and/or professionally active and play a part in delivering undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.

The Film Studies Programme at LJMU offers a hybrid model with all students undertaking theoretical/critical modules alongside practical filmmaking. The department is developing its strategic priorities in research, postgraduate provision, internationalisation, public engagement and enterprise activity. Reporting to the Programme Leader, you will contribute to these developments, whilst also undertaking teaching and administrative duties across the Film Studies portfolio: BA (Hons) Film Studies, BA (Hons) Creative Writing and Film Studies and our MA Film.
