You will be able to give lectures and teach seminars, whether to students in place or learning remotely, mark different kinds of academic assessment, and perform administrative tasks.

The successful candidate will join a thriving, collegial School with a strong commitment to interdisciplinary study, and an intellectually ambitious undergraduate and postgraduate student community. Ability to teach, good communication skills, and an ability to work productively as part of a friendly, team-oriented department are essential skills for this position.
