Tutor in Economics

The Department of Finance and Economics sits within the triple accredited (AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS) Business School in Manchester Metropolitan University. We are a large and ambitious department, with a core focus of delivering excellent education that supports our students into great graduate outcomes. 

We deliver a diverse portfolio of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes that blend work integrated learning with a research and practice informed syllabus. Currently, we are specifically seeking to recruit a Permanent Academic Tutor to support our Learning, Teaching and Assessment activity in a range of areas across our Economics provision. You may have expertise in areas such as data analytics, economic history or global political economy. We welcome candidates able to support in any of these areas, but all interested applicants must have an ability to deliver microecnomics or macroeconomics to an intermediate level. 

We would love to hear from you if you have: 

• Expertise in either microeconomics or macroeconomics with prior experience of teaching or related practice. 
• A passion for innovative and interactive teaching focused on student success.
• An enthusiasm for working in large teams.
• An interest in supporting key student success initiatives.

Alongside teaching and marking responsibilities, our academic tutors also benefit from opportunities to support department initiatives focused on our student success priorities, including graduate outcomes and student satisfaction. The nature of this role allows the successful candidate to really immerse themselves in the department as a result of the volume of on-campus activity they will contribute too. 

For informal discussion about the role please contact Anna Egan (Head of Department) at a.egan@mmu.ac.uk.

Interested applicants should submit a CV and a cover letter (max 1 page) outlining how their experience aligns with the above identified requirements of the role.
