Are you passionate about helping to deliver an exceptional student experience in a top-ranked Russell Group University? Do you have the ability to motivate and inspire learners? Are you an experienced teacher with a postgraduate degree?

As a Teaching Fellow, you will provide effective and innovative teaching across all levels of undergraduate and taught postgraduate programmes and across a range of topics. We particularly invite applications from those with expertise in disability studies, race and ethnicity, crime and social policy, but applications from all areas of expertise are welcome.
