ABOUT THE ROLE

The MA Education is a thriving programme which regularly recruits large cohorts of home and international students. We aim to support students to articulate, explain and justify their own position within the complex and diverse field of education. We are looking to recruit a Lecturer in Education to be part of this programme.

You will be involved in taking on a number of tutees, and to assist with student recruitment across the programme areas. The successful candidate will contribute to teaching across range of modules including our compulsory modules ‘What is Education?’ and ‘Understanding Research?’. In addition, you will contribute to the development of courses and programmes in Education, and you will be using a range of monitoring and evaluation techniques to assess the effectiveness of courses and programme delivery. It would be desirable but not essential that the successful candidate has a specialism in – and the ability to contribute to – the Educational Assessment specialist MA Route, in addition to the general MA Education route.

ABOUT YOU

The successful candidate will have a Masters degree or relevant experience in an area relevant to Education. You will have experience of working effectively with postgraduates studying on an MA Education, particularly in a tutoring role, and have a good knowledge of a wide range of learning and teaching approaches suited to the learning needs of postgraduate students.

In addition, the successful candidate will have the ability to work effectively with a range of academic and administrative colleagues and helping the team achieve its goals, and be proficient in the use of Information and Communication Technologies to support teaching and students.
