The School of Humanities and Communication Arts seeks to appoint a

This is an ongoing position that is linked to studies in both theory and

core theory studies in Media Law and Ethics, Communication Research 
Project and Media Memory. The position will develop and lead teaching 
and learning student productions in collaboration with TVS, Sydney’s 
community TV channel (digital 44), located on the UWS Penrith campus.

The successful applicant will have a PhD or equivalent in a related 
field, extensive professional and industry experience in convergent 
media production, across a range of clients and community contexts, and 
demonstrated industry experience in producing, scripting, and project 
management, production planning, sound and vision, and post-production 
consistent with convergent media productions. The successful applicant 
will have demonstrated experience in quality and innovative teaching at 
tertiary level, including a demonstrated capacity to work effectively 
and strategically with student production teams. The successful 
applicant will have demonstrated achievement in high quality research 
and publications that may include practice-based creative outcomes.
