The School of Literature and Languages is a vibrant and innovative School with an international research and teaching portfolio in Linguistics, Translation and Interpreting Studies, Modern Languages, English Literature and Creative Writing, and Intercultural Communication. Modern Languages at Surrey was ranked no 8 in in the Guardian University Guide 2022 and Iberian Languages and French were positioned at 8 and 9 respectively in The Time Good University Guide 2022. We are seeking exceptional academics whose ambitions in both research and teaching complement those of our forward-looking School.

We seek to appoint a Lecturer A in Spanish to consolidate our teaching of Spanish as part of our Modern Languages programme, to take part in our research environment in relevant areas across the school and to add to our research productivity, and to develop and contribute to our impact and public engagement activities. A particular interest in Peninsular Spanish (sociolinguistics, translation, or culture and society) would be an advantage.

The successful candidate will join a dynamic and innovative subject team, with strong teaching and research specialisms in related areas such as sociolinguistics, translation and interpreting studies, transnationalism, comparative literature and mobility. They will be able to teach primarily in Spanish at all levels on the undergraduate programmes, contributing to the team delivery of programmes focused on advanced language proficiency, intercultural skills as well as employability. They will be enthusiastic about pastoral care and keen to support students during their year abroad, including by undertaking placement visits abroad when required.

Deadline for applications: 11 December 2022
