The opportunity

The Screen School at London College of Communication is looking to recruit a Course Leader to a new BA (Hons) Film and Screen Studies course. http://www.arts.ac.uk/lcc/about-lcc/screen-school/

The BA (Hons) Film and Screen Studies curriculum will both resemble the critical and theoretical discipline of film studies and will promote a collective investigation and analysis of all disciplines under the Schools’ Film and Television and Moving Image and Digital Arts Programmes including Film, Television, Animation, Games, and Virtual Reality. The ethos will be to explore and advance new possibilities of research and creative practice emerging and evolving across these disciplines and in the industry. There is a curatorial emphasis with a student-led Screen festival integrated into the course.

And onwards, lead and manage the delivery, development, assessment, quality, recruitment, and participate in the delivery of teaching. The appointed candidate will work primarily under the direction of the Programme Director of Film and Television and alongside the other Programme Directors, and Course Leaders to deliver the validated course as well as contributing to School, College and University initiatives including research.
