Fixed term for 36 months, 0.5 FTE
The School of Arts and Humanities is seeking to appoint an experienced teacher and/or industry professional as University Practitioner to teach screen acting, directing, and other modules in related areas.
You will be part of a dynamic team in Media and Performance delivering courses such as the BA Drama, Theatre and Performance, BA Performance for Screen, BA Acting & Performance, and BA Film Making. You may teach and eventually lead modules such as Acting in Film and Television, Performance Lab, Cinematography and Camera Work, and Storytelling and Editing, as well as supervising collaborative undergraduate film production final projects. You will work closely with staff in film making and performing arts and contribute in vital ways to the growth of the Yorkshire Film and Television School (YFTS).
This is an opportunity to develop your pedagogical and research skills by working with committed and passionate peers to guide our diverse student cohorts through training and education as the future performers, directors, and creative workers in the rapidly changing screen industries.
A Masters Degree in the arts and humanities is required, along with substantial professional experience in screen acting and/or directing. Applicants should be well versed in established industry processes while also highly aware of ethical and pedagogical issues, including those related to equity, diversity and inclusion.
As a Practitioner we expect you to be actively engaged in practice in addition to your role at the University. This can be either through paid employment with another employer, paid consultancy or freelance work.
Informal enquiries are welcome to Dr Ben Spatz by email, B.Spatz@hud.ac.uk
If you are a current student at the University, you are welcome to apply for part-time roles of 15 hours or less per week, unless you are a part-time postgraduate student, in which case you can also apply for full time roles, subject to any visa requirements.
