They will provide teaching at UG level (including the module ‘Study and Struggle’), MA level (including the module ‘Imperialism and Sexuality’), and dissertation supervision for the MA in Contemporary Literature, Culture and Theory. As well as developing UG and MA modules relating to their own areas of specialism, the successful applicant will also be expected to contribute significantly to the ongoing development of the English Department at King’s as a key location for contemporary studies in the UK, and to spearhead initiatives in contemporary British literature and culture. A record of work in public engagement and research impact would be an advantage. The postholder will also play a full part in departmental administration and pastoral care. The post will be based on the Strand Campus. The appointee will be responsible to the Head of Department.

We particularly encourage applications from members of groups with protected characteristics that have been marginalized on any grounds enumerated under the Equality Act.
