You will be expected to teach across a range of courses reflecting your academic interests and experience, and to participate fully in the research activities of the School.

You will be an integral member of one of the School's research centres and therefore need to be a team player as well as capable of leading your own research agenda.

There will be opportunities to develop your knowledge and expertise through staff development courses and events.
