Associate Professor/Professor in Media Studies 2012 (A192-12Z)
School of English, Film, Theatre and Media Studies, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences

This position offers an exciting opportunity for a senior academic of international standing to contribute to Victoria University's Media Studies programme.

Location: Kelburn Campus
Term of Contract: Permanent
Closing Date: 15 August 2012

The School of English, Film, Theatre, and Media Studies at Victoria University is seeking to make a senior appointment, at either Professor or Associate Professor / Reader level, in its Media Studies Programme to start at the beginning of 2013. Established in 2000, the Programme has now large undergraduate enrolments, and a fast-growing MA and PhD Programme. The Programme’s general focus is to approach the study of the media through critical investigation and includes expertise in critical theory, postcolonial and indigenous theories, queer and gender studies, political economy, institutional and industry analysis, and audience studies among others. The University seeks to build on the Programme’s existing strengths through the appointment of a Professor or Associate Professor / Reader who will provide leadership in teaching, administration and research.

The appointee will be expected to have a PhD in Media or related field, to have an excellent research record with an international reputation in her or his specialist field; to have significant supervisory experience, and the potential to attract new post-graduate enrolments; and to have extensive experience of teaching at the tertiary level. The ability to build positive working relationships within the discipline and to work in an interdisciplinary context is also important. Experience of academic administration would be an advantage.

Applications should include the following material: a letter of interest addressing teaching, research, and leadership goals; a curriculum vitae with the name of three referees; writing samples, teaching evaluations and a research plan will be required for the next phase of the process but can be submitted initially.
Professor is the most senior academic rank in the New Zealand tertiary system, and Professors are expected to be academic leaders within their discipline, and more broadly within the university community.
