Are you an experienced digital media practitioner with a passion for teaching? Do you have technical skills in creative practice and digital media? Are you interested in developing your teaching skills in a world-leading media school? 

The School of Media and Communication at the University of Leeds is a highly ranked department with a vibrant research culture and a commitment to excellence in teaching.

The School seeks to appoint a Teaching Fellow in Digital Media to join us from January 2020. This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious digital media practitioner to apply their skills to teaching students at both undergraduate and taught postgraduate level. Students on the School’s BA Digital Media and MA New Media undertake a challenging mix of theoretical study and practical learning, equipping them with the knowledge and skills required for a career in the digital media industries.

You will have extensive and up to date production experience in digital media, including animation and digital storytelling, and delivery through web, mobile and/or graphic platforms. Experience of virtual-, augmented- or mixed-reality and immersive technologies are essential. You will be a committed teacher and an outstanding communicator, able to contribute to undergraduate and taught postgraduate programmes. You will be interested in key debates about digital media and will develop teaching methods that encourage students to engage with the changing digital media environment.
