Lecturer (English for Academic Purposes)

The role

The Centre for Academic Language and Development is seeking an EAP Lecturer to take a leading role in enhancing the Centre’s assessment and academic literacy expertise.  As an experienced EAP practitioner and leader, you should be comfortable working across contexts and developing others to do the same.

• applying your expertise in academic literacies and assessment to inform discussions on the relationship between artificial intelligence, EAP, and academic literacies
• contribute to the centre’s approach to developing staff in EAP assessment & academic literacies
