The Department is keen to consolidate and expand its coverage of Literature and Linguistics, which forms an important part of our degree programme coverage of Cultural studies, Mass Communications and Media Studies, Critical Theory, Film and Television Studies and Cultural, so that we will be well-equipped to respond to the demands of the expanding undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes and meet the requirements of a developing and rapidly-expanding undergraduate population. We anticipate opening a School of English Studies in the near future, and the successful candidate will have an important role in the development of that new School.

We would be interested to hear from candidates who also have interests in Cultural Studies or Mass Communications and Media Studies. Candidates will initially be expected to take a role in the teaching of the International Communications Studies degrees at undergraduate level and perhaps to contribute to the teaching and further development of the MA degrees. Candidates will be expected to liaise in curriculum matters with the Division of International Communications at the University of Nottingham in Ningbo, China, to assist in the planning and introduction of programmes in Cultural Studies on the University’s UK campus, and to undertake, when appropriate, supervision of postgraduate students in this important area.
