Lecturer in Education Studies (E&S)

Faculty of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences

This full-time post is available from, 1 September 2022 on a fixed term basis until 31 August 2023 in the Faculty of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences.

The Graduate School of Education (GSE) is one of the UK’s leading centres for educational research and teaching. In the REF 2021 100% of our Education research was rated as internationally excellent in terms of impact. With a large and innovative portfolio of national and internationally focused postgraduate taught and research programmes, it is extremely well placed to thrive over the coming years. A 2017 OFSTED inspection re-affirmed GSE’s status as an ‘outstanding’ provider of initial teacher education and training and it is currently enacting ambitious plans for the development of both its research and teaching programmes. We welcome colleagues who seek to promote and maintain a collegial working atmosphere and academically stimulating environment that will be attractive to and supportive of fellow academic and professional service staff and research students.
