Interview date: 13 January 2017  

The School of Media and Performing Arts in the University of Portsmouth wishes to appoint hourly-paid part-time lecturers to a bank of academic staff for teaching opportunities in the 2016-2017 academic year.

We seek lecturers to deliver specific units of teaching on our undergraduate Creative Writing degree programmes. Part-time lecturers are expected to follow and deliver the established curriculum and contribute to assessment activities including moderation of assessments. Although a certain amount of independence in planning and delivering of teaching and assessment is expected, post holders will need to communicate well with the full-time staff and work effectively as part of a teaching team.

Applicants should have a relevant first degree and an applicable postgraduate qualification. As well as good general subject knowledge, applicants should demonstrate specialist experience in one or more of the following areas: the short story, poetry, autobiography, creative non-fiction. In addition, knowledge of publishing contexts and experience in producing published creative writing would be beneficial.
