The School of

successful Schools of Modern Languages in the UK, bringing together
research in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hispanic Studies,
Italian, Japanese and Russian Studies. It is consistently ranked in
the top five in national league tables, such as the Complete
University Guide. The School's reach spans Europe, the Arab world,
Russophone Eurasia, Hispanic America, and East Asia, and their
mutual socio-cultural, intellectual and linguistic relations.
The Centre for
Foreign Language Study is a unit based within the School, and
delivers language courses and a range of related activities as part
of an institution wide language programme. This includes elective
language modules and extra-curricular language courses.
Applications

particular emphasis on delivery of Chinese language modules as part
of our institution-wide language programme. This role is full time,

colleague.

Study.
The role of a
Lecturer (Teaching) provides the opportunity to deliver outstanding
teaching within an inclusive and supportive environment that is
staffed by world class colleagues. The primary focus of this role
is on teaching and it will involve a significant teaching load,
which will include preparation time during the preceding summer
period. This is a teaching-only role. This role is fixed at Grade
7, reflecting the fact that this is the level of work that is
required by the University for this role. There may be related
scholarship and the opportunity to engage in wider citizenship
within the University and the opportunity for administrative duties
which relate to education and pedagogy.
