UCLan is a well-established university with nearly 200 years’ experience of delivering high quality tertiary education; our focus is on research-informed teaching and a superlative student experience. The School of Language, Literature and International Studies (SoLLIS) is thriving, with an expanding provision at undergraduate and postgraduate level, delivering courses in the UK, Asia and Europe as well as receiving a significant number of international students into the School annually.

You should have experience of, and commitment to, teaching and research in Language and Linguistics within Higher Education and have a relevant first and postgraduate degree: a PhD is an advantage for the position.

In addition you should have an excellent record of working as part of an academic team, with an outgoing personality and a willingness to develop innovative teaching methods and materials.

Applicants need to meet all essential criteria on the person specification to be considered for interview. This is based in Preston.
