Lecturer in Digital Media and Creative AI

Are you a researcher and practitioner working at the intersection of creative AI and digital media? Do you bring both critical rigour and hands-on creative engagement to questions about how AI is transforming creative work, media culture and digital practice? Birkbeck, University of London, is seeking a Lecturer in Digital Media and Creative AI to join us next Autumn 2026. Joining the School of Creative Arts, Culture and Communication, the Lecturer in Digital Media and Creative AI post offers a rare opportunity to shape teaching and research in one of the UK's most intellectually distinctive media programmes, at a moment of significant new investment. As Lecturer you will become part of a collegial team within the Film, Media and Journalism subject group. This group has established strengths in critical AI, digital culture and media theory, and you will contribute to teaching across a growing portfolio that includes the BA Digital Media, the MA AI and Creative Media and the MA Digital Media Culture. You will also play a key role in developing new curriculum at the intersection of AI and media practice. In addition, you will contribute to the activities of the Centre for Creative AI, Birkbeck's Office for Students-funded facility that supports critical reflection, innovation, industry collaboration and digital content production involving AI-assisted creative and media technologies.
