Senior Lecturer in Filmmaking

Overview

The BA Filmmaking and MA film making courses at Kingston School of Art encourage students to explore all forms of moving image practice, across fiction, non-fiction, experimental and hybrid modes of production, in both analogue and digital formats. 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. You will work alongside our dynamic and dedicated educators, practitioners, and researchers to promote and foster an innovative, inclusive, and supportive pedagogic environment that equips our students with the academic, social and personal skills to prosper in global and diverse environments.

You’ll join a close‑knit group of academics behind a varied programme of research‑led teaching, workshops, seminars and will plan, deliver, and assess a range of modules, using a variety of technologies and approaches.

You will work with the Course Leaders and course teams across our undergraduate and postgraduate filmmaking courses to ensure that the curriculum and student learning experience keep pace with contemporary professional and research developments within filmmaking. The role also provides the opportunity to work with a diverse and international group of students, so you should be committed to developing innovative teaching and learning strategies that support our students and our strategic priority to decolonise and internationalise the curriculum.

Alongside teaching, you will conduct innovative research and scholarship within our Research, Knowledge Exchange or HE Pedagogy domains, developing sector‑leading collaborative projects and producing practice‑led outputs for publication. Working side‑by‑side with talented colleagues, you’ll share knowledge and expertise through professional consultancy, pursuing opportunities that will generate income and support students with valuable placements, wherever possible.
