The School of Critical Studies in the College of Arts and Humanities seeks to appoint a Lecturer in Communications.

Applications are invited from candidates with an appropriate record of academic achievement in Communications. We are looking for a candidate who will complement our existing strengths across teaching and research, and who will help develop this new subject area for our School.

The postholder will make a substantial and positive contribution to the strategic direction of the School and 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 across the College of Arts and Humanities.

Communications will sit within the English Language and Linguistics subject area, alongside the School’s other subject areas of English Literature (and Creative Writing), Scottish Literature and Theology and Religious Studies. In its research, the School fosters excellent connections with collaborators across Glasgow and beyond, and Communications colleagues will work actively and impactfully with local partners towards public engagement with their teaching and research. This appointment is an early step in our plan to develop a suite of Communications and Global Communications programmes, at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and the successful applicant will be central to the development of this subject area.

We especially welcome applications from candidates with a Scottish Credit and Qualification Framework level 12 (PhD) in Communication Studies or related disciplines including but not limited to English and Creative Writing, Media Studies , Language and Linguistics, Digital Humanities, Critical and Cultural theory, Cultural Studies,  Journalism, and Gender Studies.
