Lecturer In Heritage And Museum Studies

Description:

We wish to appoint a 1.0 FTE Lecturer in Heritage and Museum Studies (MGH) on a fixed-term post to teach primarily into our well-established postgraduate programmes and to contribute to our unit’s vibrant research culture. This post is fixed term because it is secondment cover.

You will be based in Media, Culture, Heritage (MCH), which is part of the School of Arts and Cultures . MCH brings together staff and students with diverse expertise to understand a complex fast-changing world and address public concerns locally and internationally. ‌The unit offers innovative, immersive, and lively learning and research opportunities across the areas of Cultural and Media Studies, Film, Journalism, Public Relations, Museum Studies, Curating Art and Global Heritage Management. The unit pursues socially-relevant research and teaching, working in partnership with museums, galleries, film-makers, community groups, NGOs, and news media outlets. MCH has an outstanding record of teaching and research. Our programmes encourage an interdisciplinary approach to teaching, which regularly achieves excellent student feedback. In the last REF, 82% of research submitted was rated ‘world leading' or 'internationally excellent’.

Currently there are 1035 undergraduate, taught MA students and PhD students. MCH at Newcastle performs extremely well in all national indicators and league tables, both for teaching and research. The successful candidate will contribute to maintaining this strong profile.
