The Business School is seeking to appoint two Professional Teaching Fellows (teaching-focused academics) to support the delivery of its portfolio of Professional Masters Programmes.

Our programmes offer 15-month degrees with a strong focus on employability. The large majority of students are international learners who have English as an additional language. On some programmes, evening teaching may be required as many students are in part-time or full-time employment.

You will be expected to assist in the development of programme and course curricula, conduct research-informed teaching and carry out administrative duties as required to enable the achievement of these goals.

There are two positions available:
One full-time (40 hours pw), 12-month fixed term position.
One full-time (40 hours pw), permanent position.
