The University of Warwick is seeking applications for a Teaching Fellow to be part of a growing team of expert academics on its unique and innovative degrees in Global Sustainable Development (GSD). Our team of academics comprises active researchers and dedicated, experienced teachers with a shared mission to educate a new generation of intellectually sophisticated, ethically reflective, response-focused citizens, and change makers. 

This is a part time post working at 80% of full-time hours for a fixed term period from the 1st September 2024 until the 31st August 2025.

About You 

We are looking for an enthusiastic and committed colleague who is passionate about making every aspect of our students’ learning experience relevant and valuable, and who is familiar with facilitating interdisciplinary and/or transdisciplinary learning. We welcome applications from academic colleagues whose critical work cuts across the three pillars of global sustainable development (economic, social, environmental). We are particularly interested in applicants that have experience of issues of global sustainable development from a Global South perspective and/or who can complement the existing regional expertise in the Department, but would encourage all applicants with relevant research and teaching experience to apply.

As a member of the teaching staff, you will use your knowledge of a range of teaching and assessment strategies to provide high quality learning opportunities, delivered as part of your module convening activities. You will be asked to contribute to the GSD curriculum, according to the needs of the Department and your specific area of expertise. You will teach core and optional modules at undergraduate and postgraduate level, such as ‘Achieving Sustainability: Potentials and Barriers’ or ‘Global Sustainable Development Project’. You will also undertake marking and/or supervision of final year undergraduate student dissertations, as well as administrative duties as allocated by the Head of Department.

The successful candidate will be an excellent teacher and communicator with a sound subject knowledge, able to stimulate and enthuse students from a diverse range of cultural backgrounds and with a desire to contribute to the development of Education for Sustainable Development.
