Applications are invited for the post of Assistant Professor (Teaching and Curriculum Leadership) within the School of Economics at the University of Nottingham. This is an exciting new role for a candidate with a love for economics education and creating a high-quality student experience. This is an opportunity to develop into a leader in educational innovation in economics at one of the leading Schools of Economics worldwide: we rank 36th worldwide, 10th in Europe and 5th in the UK (IDEAS RePEc).
You will be expected to develop and teach high quality modules for undergraduates and postgraduates; continue your scholarship in economics and economics education; seek grant income for education and student experience activities; and become a leader relating to education and student experience in the School.
As well as your role within the School, you will form part of a community in the Faculty, creating and sharing good practice and coordinating teaching and curriculum leadership. As part of this you will contribute to the development and implementation of various Faculty and institutional priorities. Our priorities include student access and participation, improving areas in NSS where results are challenging, developing programme level curriculum and new assessment methods, ensuring the welfare needs of our students are met, and building partnerships with students and staff to enhance student experience.
Evidence of a track-record of high-quality teaching and potential for curriculum leadership is essential. You should have a keen interest in recent developments in economics, including the skills we teach to our students and the coverage of the subject itself. You must also demonstrate your commitment to scholarship and professional development as a teacher commensurate with your career stage and experience.
