Manchester Metropolitan University is one of the UK's largest and most popular Universities. We are the University for World Class Professionals.

The Faculty of Education has a strong national reputation for its work across the education disciplines and professions. It is widely recognised for the quality of its wider education workforce programmes and its innovative commercial projects. It is judged internationally excellent in educational research.

The faculty is a vibrant, creative and exciting place to work with a supportive management team that encourages fresh ideas. The faculty comprises three Academic Divisions, one of which is the academic home for every member of staff.

The Education Studies staff comprise a highly professional group who have been proactive in establishing new programmes of study and innovative pedagogy. They are responsible for a range of very successful single and combined honours degrees in Education Studies. This programme has been recently extended to offer study at masters level and is proving attractive to an international market. The group has a successful record in research and commercial income generation. Several staff have published widely and enjoy considerable reputations in their field. There are links with a number of ESRI's research groups (see: http://www.esri.mmu.ac.uk/resgroups/index.php).

We are looking to invite a committed, enthusiastic, suitably qualified and experienced individual to join us to teach on and take management responsibilities, within the Education Studies Programmes.

The successful candidates will be able to point to a record of pedagogical innovation and achievement with an ability to encourage others to be similarly innovative. They will have an informed and critical grasp of the major policy influences in Education Studies. They will have subjected their own practice to analysis and research in ways which enable them to empathise with the demands we make of students.
