As part of its ‘Global Talent’ recruitment campaign, the School of Education invites applications for the position of Professor of Teacher Education (Research and Teaching Track). This open-ended term contract is an opportunity to contribute to the School’s world changing ambitions, locally and globally, through research and teaching.

The School is a large unit which brings together researchers with expertise across all sectors of education: formal and non-formal, pre-school through to higher, adult and community education. In the recent UK Research Assessment Framework (REF) the  expert panel judged that 90% of our work was either world leading or internationally excellent; 82.6% of our research outputs were assessed as either world leading (37.6%) or internationally excellent (45%); the panel assessed 75% of our impact on society as world leading and 25% internationally excellent and we achieved the maximum score of 100% world leading in the assessment of the environment that we have established to support research.

The School of Education offers undergraduate, postgraduate, and CPD courses, and has a thriving community of PhD and EdD students. You will actively contribute to delivering an excellent student experience through teaching, assessment and administration processes. The School prides itself on the effective integration of teaching, research, theory, policy and practice. The key feature of its research is its commitment to placing educational research as part of an interdisciplinary agenda to support the development of more equitable societies in the spirit of social justice.

The School aims to contribute to better places locally, nationally and globally, providing a major source of research-informed evidence that contributes to positive economic and societal impact. The School is organised within four Research and Teaching Groups (RTGs): Culture, Literacies, Inclusion & Pedagogy (CLIP), Educational Leadership & Policy (ELP), Pedagogy, Praxis & Faith (PPF); and People, Place & Social Change (PPSC). The School is situated within the College of Social Sciences (CoSS) and we welcome applications from candidates keen to contribute to interdisciplinary research, scholarship and knowledge exchange, working collaboratively in taking forward the CoSS interdisciplinary research themes.
