In addition, you will have the opportunity to engage in new developments in research collaboration both within the School, such as Digital Humanities, and with colleagues across the University in fields such as Translation Studies, Linguistics and Phonetics, Computing and Education. These links will be fostered by the recently established major Faculty strategic initiative Language at Leeds.

You will contribute to a range of teaching and learning across programmes and at all levels, working to ensure the highest quality student experience. You will be expected to develop innovative, research-led teaching and to contribute to the Single Honours degree in English Language and Literature and the Joint Honours degree in English Language and Linguistics; MA teaching and PhD supervision will also be required.

You will have a PhD in English Language or Linguistics; excellent interpersonal and communication abilities; excellent administrative and time-management skills and good IT skills, with experience in Word, email, and Power Point. You will be required to undertake appropriate academic administrative responsibilities, pending discussion with the Head of School.
