The Role

The role of a Lecturer (Teaching) provides the opportunity to deliver outstanding teaching within an inclusive and supportive environment that is staffed by world class colleagues. The primary focus of this role is on teaching and it will involve a significant teaching load, which will extend through the summer period. This is a teaching-only role. This role is fixed at Grade 7, reflecting the fact that this is the level of work that is required by the University for this role. There may be related scholarship and the opportunity to engage in wider citizenship within the University and the opportunity for administrative duties which relate to education and pedagogy.
