Are you an enthusiastic teacher, practitioner or researcher, committed to delivering a first-class learning and teaching experience with a demonstrated ability to teach effectively at undergraduate and postgraduate level? Are you passionate about delivering an exceptional student experience in a research-intensive Russell Group University?
The School of Music seeks to appoint a Lecturer in Music and Data Science to lead and develop our new Masters programme in this area, and to enhance educational provision focusing on data science applications in the music industry. You will offer demonstrable experience across both fields, whether acquired through industry experience, formal training, or active practice, and will bring together technical expertise, cutting-edge understanding of contemporary applications of data science, and a genuine interest in music education. We particularly encourage applicants with combined experience in data science and digital marketing within the global music industry, whether in recording/streaming, music publishing or live music contexts.
You will possess a postgraduate degree or relevant professional experience, and have the ability to teach undergraduate and taught postgraduate students in your specialist field using a diverse range of methodologies. As a Lecturer, you will carry out teaching, scholarship and management within the School, and contribute to the supervision of student projects and the delivery of our curriculum beyond your specialist area.
