About this role

The Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities has a growing Sociology provision that takes a student-centred, supportive approach to teaching and learning. The department is currently seeking Associate Lecturers to teach undergraduate modules within the field of Sociology.

Successful candidates will have experience of delivering high quality, interactive teaching with strong interpersonal skill and the ability to build strong relationships. We deliver our modules in small workshops and students value a mix of interactive activities and expert knowledge delivered with charisma.
