FACULTY OF ARTS AND HUMANITIES
SCHOOL OF POLITICS, PHILOSOPHY, LANGUAGE AND COMMUNICATION STUDIES
Lecturer in French And Interpreting
The School of Politics, Philosophy, Language and Communication Studies is looking to recruit a Lecturer in French and Interpreting to join our dynamic department of Language and Communication Studies.
The post holder will be expected to contribute to teaching in French language (beginner’s, Post-GCSE and Post A-level), and lead on our two interpreting modules, which focus on public service interpreting and conference interpreting. You will also carry out teaching-related duties, such as preparing classes, coordinating placement tests, creating and marking examinations and assessments, and providing quality feedback to students. You will be expected to contribute to the smooth running of the French language subject area and work collaboratively with a team of colleagues to ensure that modules are delivered to the highest standard.
The post holder is also expected to contribute to the wider School community and support recruitment and outreach events and will take on the role of Academic Coordinator for Study Abroad for our French language students.
We also have a vibrant research environment, and the post holder will be expected to contribute to this through high-quality publications and funding bids, as well as to participate in our research talks. We very much encourage applications for this post from Early Career academics and will look to provide mentoring and additional support to help support career development.
This full-time post is available from 1 August 2021 on an indefinite basis.
Applications from women candidates and those from a minority ethnic background are particularly welcome as these groups are currently underrepresented within the School.
Closing date: 20 April 2021.
