Senior Teaching Associate in Spanish Studies (A2610)

The Department of Languages and Cultures (DeLC) is seeking a capable and enthusiastic contributor to the teaching and leadership of the Department’s Spanish language undergraduate provision. You will deliver and renew the existing syllabus, perform administrative tasks associated with Spanish, and also contribute to the administrative requirements of the Department as a whole, as well as participate in outreach and external engagement.  Contribution to various aspects of our MA Translation and other parts of our curriculum can also be part of this role. This is an indefinite position to start in September 2019. 

The Department engages in a multi-disciplinary exploration of Chinese, French, German, Italian and Spanish languages in the context of their related global cultures. This approach yields an exciting synthesis of language study and wide-ranging cultural studies and informs the delivery of both specialist and comparative courses, a wide variety of language and joint degree schemes, and research that spans Europe, Africa, China and North & South America. In both teaching and research we have a strong commitment to cross-cultural studies and we believe that, in today's global world, languages, cultures and histories are best understood in a trans-national (European and/or global) perspective. 

DeLC is a welcoming, vibrant and successful medium-sized department with German ranked 1st in the UK, and French and Spanish are ranked in 2nd position in The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2019. The Department enjoys strong links with a number of key research centres and groups within the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. Undergraduate students are recruited at a high level, with a standard UCAS offer of AAB/ABB and we have a thriving PGT and PGR community.  The Department’s webpage is at  http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/languages-and-cultures/ 

Informal enquiries are welcome and should be made to Olga Gomez-Cash tel +44 (0)1524 593739, e-mail o.gomez@lancaster.ac.uk 

This is a full-time, indefinite post.

We particularly welcome applications from women and black and minority ethnic people for this role in order to increase our staff diversity in this part of the University.
