The Role

Both programmes are taught through a series of project-led practice modules embracing research and experimentation.

This role provides a career-defining opportunity to work across both courses in several filmmaking areas, with a specific focus on sound and post-production.

The successful candidate will have at least a Master’s degree or equivalent professional experience, with an established or emerging research profile; and experience offering quality teaching, assessment, feedback and tutoring to a diverse range of students at HE Level.
Applicants will be required to demonstrate that they meet the Kingston University standards in learning and teaching, and research as stated in the person specification.
