Job Description

The Department of English seeks to appoint a Lecturer in English Literature, part time (0.7 FTE). You will cover a period of parental leave, from 1 September 2025 until 20 March 2026. You must be a recipient of your doctoral award and have had some previous teaching experience at HEI level.



You will be an individual who has demonstrated or shows potential for excellence in teaching English Literature, via a range of methods (including online/blended). The ability to teach literature and science, science fiction, and contemporary literature, is essential. Experience in convening modules is also essential. As this is primarily a teaching post, a current research profile is desirable, but there is no requirement to be eligible for REF.



There may be opportunities to offer teaching directly reflecting your own areas of interest and expertise at MA as well as undergraduate level, including supervision of dissertations. The ability to contribute to current provision is essential. The post is tenable for up to 7 months only, with the post-holder available to commence 1 September 2025.
