Assistant Lecturer in Communications and English

Description of Post

The appointment for an Assistant Lecturer in Department of Law, Public Service and Education within the Faculty of Business.

The Business Faculty, in addition to undergraduate programmes, offers a range of postgraduate (Masters & Doctorate) programmes which are increasingly differentiated as lifelong learning, practice based and blended/online learning. These programmes are often of a multidisciplinary nature and utilise staff across all departments. The Faculty of Business also has a growing base of doctoral level staff and increasingly is looking to maximise the dissemination of knowledge through publications and conferences.

The Department introduced a new BA in Communications with English in 2023.  This programme reflects the increasing need for strong communication skills with a capacity to interact across a variety of platforms, including hybrid/blended communication channels. The programme is grounded in the texts of English literature moving to application of this knowledge and communication of content in an ever-changing multimedia environment.

Successful applicants should have expertise in a range of subject areas across this programme together with experience working as part of an enthusiastic team.
