Potential to progress to £49,689 p.a. through sustained exceptional contribution. Fixed term for 3 years. Colleagues in the School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics are known for their international-quality research in English Language, English Literature, Cultures of the British Isles, Applied Linguistics, Theatre and Performance, and Creative Writing. And much of this activity is passed onto students through our research-led approach to learning and teaching. With over 50 members of academic staff, the School of English is able to offer outstanding teaching across a wide range of subject areas. In recent years five members of staff have received Senate Awards for Teaching Excellence, and one of our staff has been awarded a National Teaching Fellowship. The School is housed in a new Faculty of Arts building which features modern flexible learning, teaching and research facilities - and a cafe. The School of English plays an active role in the local community, and our students are encouraged to venture outside the University to see how some of the ideas they are learning about can apply in the wider world. We have excellent links with local schools, libraries and museums, and we regularly undertake a range of different projects and activities in partnership with these organisations. The University of Sheffield has been named UK University of the Year in the 2011 Times Higher Education Awards. We've won this prestigious award because we're a world-class university in a unique city. We are a community true to our civic roots and our straightforward approach informs everything we do, both close to home and around the world. This is an ideal opportunity for a scholar with an outstanding publication record and excellent teaching ability to join one of the major centres for English Language and Linguistics scholarship in the United Kingdom. The post-holders will design and deliver teaching on the BA in English Language and Linguistics, the MA in English Language Studies, and the MA in Culture of the British Isles. They will develop the School's research profile through the production of high quality publications and through attracting external research funding. Post-holders will be expected to contribute to the School's presence within the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, the wider University and, through outreach and knowledge exchange, in Sheffield and beyond and to carrying out appropriate administrative duties to a high standard. You will have (or be close to completing) a PhD in Medieval/Anglo Saxon English (or have equivalent experience).
