We are particularly interested in a candidate who will help lead the evolution and development of the school’s English Literature and Creative Writing provision at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. Someone with the vision to address the demands of teaching in the twenty-first century and who recognises the need for new ways of engaging with the subject and how this new pedagogy can be explored and developed creatively through new technologies.
