The Lecturer will teach both the practice and context of factual television production.

The successful candidate will deliver teaching of your expertise and the needs of the curriculum and the management of the course resources.

The appointed candidate will work primarily under the direction of the Course Leader to deliver the course while contributing to School, College and University initiatives including research.
