The successful candidate will be expected to deliver excellent research and teaching, to generate research income, to contribute to the administration and management of the school and to its local, regional, and international profile.

The posts will include teaching on our courses at undergraduate and/or postgraduate level. This may include delivering existing modules, developing new modules and generally enhancing our research-led teaching. We aim for excellence in education as well as research and are looking for candidates who can contribute to both posts.

We are committed to fostering an inclusive and equitable environment by actively supporting the representation, empowerment, and opportunities for women and non-binary individuals, ensuring their voices are heard, their contributions are valued, and their potential is recognised within the School.
