Humanities - English & Creative Writing
Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences ( www.strath.ac.uk/humanities )
Hours: (35 hours/week)
Contract: Fixed Term (24 months)
The Department of Humanities is a community of researchers, teachers, students, and support staff working together on some of the most interesting and exciting issues in contemporary culture. English & Creative Writing is an integral part of the Department and wider University with popular undergraduate degrees in English, and English & Creative Writing, Masters programmes in Interdisciplinary English Studies, and Creative Writing, and a vibrant PhD community. We have an opportunity to appoint a new full time Teaching Associate, on a fixed term (24 months) basis, to join our internationally renowned English and English & Creative Writing subject team.
English has been taught at the University of Strathclyde since 1964, when the university received its Royal Charter. Creative Writing has been taught at Strathclyde since the 1980s, with notable alumni and staff including Andrew O’Hagan, Zoe Wicomb, Margaret Elphinstone and David Kinloch. We are ranked 5 th for English (Times/Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024) and 1st in Scotland for Creative Writing (Complete University Guide 2025).
We have a number of active research projects and have recently attracted funding from the AHRC, The British Academy, and The Leverhulme Trust. The unit currently teaches two undergraduate pathways (English and English & Creative Writing), and two postgraduate degrees (Creative Writing and Interdisciplinary English Studies). We have PhD students from across the globe working across areas from the early modern period to contemporary literature. Strathclyde has expertise in a range of approaches to literary production including animal studies, experimental writing, linguistic and cognitive literary studies, postcolonial writing, queer theory, and literature as heritage. In terms of period, we have a particular expertise in the Renaissance, the Victorian, and the contemporary.
We are open to candidates with an established track record of teaching in any area of English Literature. We particularly welcome candidates whose expertise relates to race, and potentially gender and sexuality. The successful applicant will not only teach their area of expertise; therefore, it would be advantageous if you can work flexibly across periods, specialisations and even disciplines.
To be considered for the role, you will have experience in teaching and assessment in English; the potential to teach Creative Writing would be welcomed. You will have a PhD in English Literature and/or Creative Writing (or equivalent); substantial relevant teaching experience at undergraduate level (including experience of assessing student performance and providing student feedback) and the ability to translate knowledge of advances in subject area into teaching and assessment methods and materials. You will have the ability to contribute teaching to a range of existing undergraduate and postgraduate courses as well as designing and convening classes based on your expertise and have excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to listen, engage and persuade, and to present complex information in an accessible way to a range of audiences.
Experience of supervising students and developing curriculum is desirable.

Informal enquiries about the post can be directed to Dr. Andrew Meehan, Subject Leader (Email: [email protected]) .
Interviews: Formal interviews for this post will be held on Wednesday, 2 nd October 2024.
