The Bill Douglas Cinema Museum is recruitng for two postdoctoral posts to support the work of Professor Helen M Hanson (Project Lead), and the project team on the Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded project: Women’s Screen Work in the Archives Made Visible (2024-2028). The two roles are: Postdoctoral Research Associate (Archives) and Postdoctoral Research Associate (Curation).
The Project researches the work of British women filmmakers in the British Film Institute National Archive at the Conservation Centre, Berkhamsted and the Bill Douglas Cinema Museum at the University of Exeter. It aims to make their work more discoverable in film-related archives through innovative archival practice, and to translate their work to public audiences through curation of exhibitions in film museum contexts
You will work primarily with the Project Lead (Helen M Hanson) and BFI Project Co-Lead (Wendy Russell) in the BFI National Archive (Conservation Centre, Berkhamsted), spending approximately 3 days per week at the archive during the project. You will become familiar with archival practice at the BFI and will have the opportunity to apply this to agreed collections. You will innovate and test feminist approaches to archiving and will contribute to cataloguing collections of selected women filmmakers (such as Tina Gharavi, and Gurinder Chadha). You will also disseminate the research findings of your work by engaging a range of audiences: the archival community, academics and wider publics.
