Lecturer in Journalism - Fixed term 2 years

Contract: 1.0 FTE fixed-term for 2 years

This post is for a Lecturer in Journalism, full-time for 2 years. We are seeking candidates who can bring industry experience and knowledge for teaching and research across our growing portfolio of journalism modules and programmes. GCU is one of the leading educators of work-ready journalists, and one of the only double-accredited provider of journalism degrees in the UK.
