The Department of Economics at Manchester wishes to appoint one Economics Officer from June 2024. This is a fixed term position. This is a demanding role, and we wish to appoint a flexible colleague who will be able to support the Economics Manager and work with academic colleagues in the Economics Department and Professional Services (PS) staff in the School of Social Sciences. The candidate will be responsible for supporting academic colleagues in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching in the delivery of their teaching and learning activities, and in enhancing the student experience in economics.
