We are seeking to recruit up to two outstanding candidates to join the Economics Division of Leeds University Business School during an exciting phase in our development. Our highly popular and vibrant teaching programmes are expanding whilst our research activities continue to grow. The Division's strong research focus supports our leadership and membership of several high-profile, large-scale research initiatives including projects in the areas of financialisation, and infrastructure provision, and the new Cities research theme launched by the University of Leeds. The Division is connected via teaching and research to other faculties at the University of Leeds and is pursuing a distinctive and high-impact interdisciplinary agenda.
To support these developments and to underpin the excellence in our teaching we are seeking to appoint up to two Senior Teaching Fellows. You will have a strong commitment to undertaking high quality, inspiring and innovative teaching and will be able to contribute to the enhancement of the student experience on our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
You should have a track-record of excellent teaching as well as a strong commitment to student learning and teaching. You should have experience of module and programme development as well as of personal tutoring. The post will include taking on the role of Head of Year at second or third year undergraduate level. In this role, you will be responsible for the management and development of the student experience and will also act as a personal tutor to economics students. You will teach students in a variety of settings, including lectures, workshops and small group tutorials and will contribute to the development and assessment of modules.
You will help manage the transition from the second to third year or the transition from third year to life beyond university. Beyond teaching on core modules, you will assist with student support and development activities.
We are seeking applications from candidates with interests in any area of economics. Though open to all, we are particularly interested in candidates with experience of teaching intermediate and advanced level of economics as well as quantitative methods.
