Description:

Faculty of Arts and Humanities 
School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics
Lecturer in English Language and Literature

Lecturer Grade 8: £37,012 - £44,616 p.a. Potential to progress to £49,689 
p.a. through sustained exceptional contribution.

Colleagues in the School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics 
are known for their international-quality research in English Literature, 
Theatre and Performance, Creative Writing, Applied Linguistics, Literary 
Linguistics, Cultures of the British Isles and English Language. And much 
of this activity is passed onto students through our research-led approach 
to learning and teaching. With over 50 members of academic staff, the 
School of English is able to offer outstanding teaching across a wide range 
of subject areas. In recent years five members of staff have received 
Senate Awards for Teaching Excellence, and one of our staff has been 
awarded a National Teaching Fellowship. The School is housed in a new 
Faculty of Arts building which features modern flexible learning, teaching 
and research facilities - and a cafe. The School of English plays an active 
role in the local community, and our students are encouraged to venture 
outside the University to see how some of the ideas they are learning about 
can apply in the wider world. We have excellent links with local schools, 
libraries and museums, and we regularly undertake a range of different 
projects and activities in partnership with these organisations.

The University of Sheffield has been named UK University of the Year in 
the 2011 Times Higher Education Awards. We achieved this prestigious 
award because of our many imaginative and innovative initiatives as well as 
our exceptional performance in research, teaching and outreach. This is an 
ideal opportunity for a scholar with an outstanding publication record and 
excellent teaching ability to join one of the major centres for English 
Language and Literature scholarship in the UK. 

The post-holder will design and deliver teaching on the BA in English 
Language and Literature and the MA in English Language Studies (Literary 
Linguistic Pathway). He/she will develop the School's research profile 
through the production of high quality publications and through attracting 
external research funding. The post-holder will be expected to contribute to 
the School's presence within the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, the wider 
University and, through outreach and knowledge exchange, in Sheffield 
and beyond and to carry out appropriate administrative duties to a high 
standard.

You will have (or be close to completing) a PhD (or have equivalent 
experience) in English Language and Literature a strong research profile in 
literary linguistics in a field of research which will complement the existing 
research strengths of the Language and Literature team. You will have 
experience in working at the interface of English Language and English 
Literature, and will be competent to undertake undergraduate teaching in 
both disciplines, as well as the interdisciplinary core modules. You will have 
proven teaching ability, and be able to contribute to the core literary 
linguistic modules at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, as well 
as contributing to teaching elsewhere in the School.
