The School of Modern Languages & Cultures is one of the largest and most 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 are invited for a Lecturer (Teaching) in Chinese language with a particular emphasis on delivery of Chinese language modules as part of our institution-wide language programme. This role is full time, but fixed term for 9 months to cover the maternity leave of a colleague.
