The Opportunity
The School of Arts and Social Sciences at Monash University Malaysia has a vacancy for a Senior Lecturer in Communication and Media Studies to serve also as the Course Director for our Bachelor in Digital Media and Communication (BDMC). The BDMC degree has been successfully revamped to complement our excellent research in this area and the degree’s strong theoretical underpinnings with industry engagement and social awareness, enhanced by recent investments in studio facilities and practice-based hiring.
We now seek a Senior Lecturer (Level C) and Course Director to consolidate these developments.
A Level C academic is expected to make significant contributions to the teaching effort of a discipline, school, faculty or other organisational unit or an interdisciplinary area. An academic at this level is also expected to play a major role in scholarship, research and/or professional activities.
A Level C academic will be required to demonstrate this capacity by a record that includes evidence of quality refereed publications, competitive grant funding, and Higher Degree Research (HDR) supervision experience and/or completions.
The appointee will coordinate units, prepare and present lectures and/or seminars, undertake marking, contribute to curriculum development, and supervise Honours and HDR students. The units in which they will be involved will be negotiated on appointment and will change over time.
Additionally, as Director of the BDMC, the post-holder will play an important role in the smooth running of this specialist programme. The postholder will also concurrently oversee the Communications major within the School’s generalist BASS degree (because the major comprises offerings in the BDMC), and work closely with the BASS Director. The role encompasses course planning, course design, development and review, course delivery, assessment quality, and monitoring the degree’s responsiveness to student feedback.
Applicants are invited to submit a CV and a cover letter addressing selection criteria for the position.
The Benefits
The appointment will be under Malaysian benefits, terms and conditions.
