Summary
Full Time, Fixed Term (3 years)
Applications are invited for the post of Lecturer in Children’s Literature in the English Department, to start in the new academic year (from 2nd September 2024).

The appointee will be expected to participate fully in delivering the Department’s objectives with respect to teaching, and public engagement.
