Lecturer in French (Learning, Teaching and Scholarship)

This post is full time (35 hours per week) and is offered on a one-year basis, following the award of a Royal Society of Edinburgh Fellowship in the School of Modern Languages and Cultures.

The University of Glasgow is seeking to appoint a fixed-term Lecturer (LTS) in French.

LTS posts focus on the design and delivery of learning and teaching alongside scholarship (i.e. outputs and other work that relates to the study and practice of learning and teaching within a Higher Education setting).

The post will support Undergraduate teaching in French and Francophone language and culture courses, and some teaching on the history of the Francophone Caribbean at Undergraduate and Postgraduate levels. The post will also involve teaching in Comparative Literature and on the new joint Master’s programme in Reparative Justice between the University of Glasgow and the University of the West Indies. Expertise on Francophone Caribbean literature and history would be an advantage.

In this role you will contribute to the delivery of a high-quality student experience by contributing to teaching, assessment and administration associated with undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in French, and undertake scholarship to enhance learning and teaching in the School of Modern Languages and Cultures. The post will have a particular responsibility for the leading and delivery of courses in French language and on Francophone Caribbean literature and history. Candidates must have a PhD (or equivalent) in a related discipline and/ or equivalent teaching experience. Candidates should have native or near-native language skills in French and English.
