With stunning campuses, some 6,500 students and 800 staff, Bath Spa University is both progressive and creative. Our mission is to be an outstanding and distinctive university providing degree courses of the highest quality, informed by a culture of scholarship and teaching excellence.

Our School of English & Creative Studies provides courses in the fields of English Literature, Broadcast Media Production, Creative Writing and Publishing. With a thriving postgraduate community, and a growing PhD community in Creative Writing and English, the School was also actively involved in securing funding for Artswork, the University's £4.5 million HEFCE-funded Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning. Please visit http://artswork.bathspa.ac.uk for further information.

We're now looking for two accomplished academics to join us in teaching our increasingly popular course subjects. With a PhD in English Literature and solid undergraduate teaching experience, you'll be confident designing and delivering engaging modules within your chosen subject. Teaching both the Masters (MRes) course and the PhD (depending on experience) in your area of expertise, you'll also champion high-quality research and scholarly activity in addition to your core teaching responsibilities. An interest in secondary research is a must, as are recent publications in your relevant field. Above all, your passion for your subject will be as evident as it is infectious to your students.

In return, we offer generous benefits including nursery facilities, pension scheme, flexitime, family friendly policies, even a regular bus service. All full-time vacancies are open to candidates wishing to job share.
