Lecturer in Digital and Immersive Storytelling, Birkbeck, University of London
Deadline: Sun 11 Oct 2026
Are you a researcher and practitioner working with immersive and interactive storytelling? Do you bring hands-on experience of immersive media tools alongside a critical, research-led understanding of what they make possible, and an interest in supporting students to make immersive work of their own?

If so, this is a rare opportunity to build a new area of teaching and research at Birkbeck, with significant infrastructure behind it.

Your research might engage immersive narrative and spatial storytelling; interactive, transmedia and game-based form; presence, embodiment and representation in VR/AR environments; immersive documentary, journalism or performance; or the meeting of real-time 3D and AI-assisted production. Your practice might involve Unreal Engine, Unity, VR/AR development environments, 360-degree capture, spatial audio or motion capture, however developed.

We are especially interested in candidates who can situate that work within one or more of the School's disciplines: film, media and journalism; creative writing; English and liberal arts; performing arts and creative industries; languages and linguistics. Please address this in your application.
