You will be an individual who has demonstrated or shows potential for excellence in teaching English Literature, via a range of methods (including online/blended). The ability to teach literature and science, science fiction, and contemporary literature, is essential. Experience in convening modules is also essential.

There may be opportunities to offer teaching directly reflecting your own areas of interest and expertise at MA as well as undergraduate level, including supervision of dissertations. The ability to contribute to current provision is essential. The post is tenable for up to 7 months only, with the post-holder available to commence 1 September 2025.
