We are looking to recruit a talented educator and innovator in advertising. You will join our team of academics, creatives and practitioners working in the Communications and Media programme at LCC. The programme consists of courses at undergraduate and postgraduate levels in Advertising, Media Communications, Contemporary Media Cultures and Public Relations. We have a commitment to ensuring high quality advertising education and your role will be pivotal in helping us to achieve this.

The role requires a specific subject focus on advertising theory and practice including but not limited to: race, diversity and equality in digital advertising and marketing; influencers and influencer marketing; strategic marketing; advertising campaign planning; digital marketing analytics; advertising theory informed by consumer research and/or behavioural economics; consumer culture theory and digital marketing practices.

You will proactively contribute to pedagogic leadership and curriculum development that stimulate thought and practice and promote diversity and inclusivity. 

About you

You will be an early to mid-career researcher and/or will possess equivalent professional experience, with a growing record of excellent teaching experience in Higher Education and a commitment to delivering a high-quality student experience through curriculum delivery, pastoral support, and assessment.

You will bring an advanced knowledge of your subject area and will be able to apply this to broader processes of change and future directions, through innovative pedagogy, knowledge exchange and/or research.

You will hold a qualification in a relevant discipline at least to postgraduate level or a substantial track record in industry, alongside experience of teaching in HE. You will have a strong commitment to the advancement of your field through research or knowledge exchange and will be able to identify potential sources of funding and industry engagement.
