ALAN FREDERICK PRICE POST-DOCTORAL TEACHING FELLOW IN ENGLISH LITERATURE (0.6 FTE)

Job description

Hours of work: Part-time (0.6 FTE)

Tenure: 6 months January 2027 until June 2027 non-renewable

The Department of English seeks to appoint an Alan Frederick Price Memorial Post-Doctoral Teaching Fellow in English Literature. Named in honour of a past student who went on to become a school teacher and lecturer in English, this post is designed to provide experience in teaching and teaching-related administration in a world class university environment. Applicants must be a recent recipient of their doctoral award and have had some previous teaching experience at HEI level. Preference will be given to applicants for whom this will be their first substantial post. The appointee will be an individual who has demonstrated or shows potential for excellence in teaching English Literature, via a range of methods (including online/ blended). As this is primarily a teaching post, a current research profile is desirable, but there is no requirement to be eligible for REF. Any area of specialism will be considered, and there may be opportunities to offer teaching directly reflecting the post-holders own areas of interest and expertise at MA as well as undergraduate level, including supervision of dissertations. However, the ability to contribute to current provision is essential. The Fellow will be encouraged and supported to develop knowledge, skills and expertise via the Universitys academic development programmes. The post is tenable for six months only, with the post-holder available to commence January 2027 (start date TBC).
