LOUGHBOROUGH UNIVERSITY

DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SCIENCES

Applications are invited for two permanent full-time Lectureships/Senior Lectureships in the Department of Social Sciences. Our Department was awarded a rating of 5*A in the last RAE with all staff returned. 

For both posts, your level of scholarly excellence is more important than your specific area of expertise. We expect you to have a publications record or potential of the highest quality.  We have a strong commitment to interdisciplinary research and teaching across the social sciences and you will be expected to contribute fully to this. 

Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Sociology - REF:  SS/12538

Applications are encouraged from sociologists with research interests in any area of sociology, including scholars based in cognate disciplines (such as cultural studies and social/cultural anthropology) whose work has a sociological focus. Applicants should have an appropriate qualification and be able to work comfortably in an interdisciplinary social science environment. The successful candidate will join a dynamic Sociology Group in a phase of rapid development at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Communication, Media, and Culture - REF:  SS/12539

The postholder will join the Department's top-ranking Communication and Media Studies team. Appointments are made with research and scholarly record or potential as the prime criterion. Applicants should have an appropriate qualification and be able to work comfortably in an interdisciplinary social science environment.  The successful candidate will teach both on the undergraduate programme in Communication and Media Studies, and the postgraduate programme in Media and Cultural Analysis.  

Salary for both posts dependent on qualifications and experience is £29,138 - £46,758 per annum
