About The Role

Falmouth University is currently seeking an ambitious Lecturer to join our team and play a key role in the delivery of editing as part of our BA(Hons) Post Production and Visual Effects course on the Penryn Campus.

This Lecturer will take on a key role as a Module Leader in supporting this specialist, studio-based course in the delivery of visual post production. You will be responsible for developing and delivering new modules in this degree, and also potentially supporting modules which are shared across the School of Film & Television.

The role will also include the preparation and delivery of lectures, seminars, workshops and tutorials, and continue to secure and develop strong links with industry partners.

With a rigorous academic underpinning, the course has been designed to support the development of innovative professional practice, and its critical and contextual underpinning, creating independent and curious students who are adaptable to change and industry ready. As part of the School of Film & Television teaching and learning team, this is a pivotal role to ensure the School’s continued growth and reputation.

BA(Hons) Post Production and Visual Effects at Falmouth University launched in 2021, and consolidates a long history of post-production and visual effects delivered across well-established undergraduate programmes in film, television and animation. The School of Film & Television at Falmouth University is a CILECT member and an AVID learning partner.
