Lecturer in Creative Writing

The School of Critical Studies seeks to appoint a Lecturer in Creative Writing.

The postholder will make a substantial and positive contribution to the strategic direction of the School/College through leading and contributing to research of an international standard, to high quality teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, in securing research funding, and in offering academic administration within the School and College of Arts and Humanities.

Applications are invited from candidates with an appropriate record of academic achievement in creative writing. We are looking for a candidate who will complement our existing strengths across teaching and research.

The Creative Writing team sits within the English Literature subject area, alongside the School’s other subject areas of English Language, Scottish Literature and Theology and Religious Studies. In its research, the School fosters excellent connections with collaborators across Glasgow and beyond, and Creative Writing colleagues work actively and impactfully with local partners towards public engagement with their research. The post is part of our plan to expand Creative Writing in terms of both teaching and research, and the successful applicant will be a central part of that development.

We especially welcome applications from candidates with a Scottish Credit and Qualification Framework level 12 (PhD) in creative writing or a related discipline, with an established reputation in research through an impressive publication profile, and significant experience teaching and supervising within the subject area in higher education.

This post is full time and open ended.
