Fixed term, full-time opportunity available for two years.

The School of Humanities invites applications for a Lecturer in Spanish Studies.

This position is open to candidates wishing to pursue a teaching-focused role where there is an expectation the candidate can demonstrate the ability to engage students in undergraduate courses, and with the potential of teaching postgraduate courses.

• Completion of a Masters degree or higher qualification in Romance Languages with postgraduate studies in Spanish culture and/or literature.
• Fluency in Spanish and English.
• Proven expertise in teaching Spanish as a foreign language (Levels A1-B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, CEFR) and a demonstrated ability to teach contemporary Spanish culture and literature courses in a tertiary setting. 
• Ability and willingness to lead the Spanish studies program within the department, with a strong focus on curriculum development, student engagement and administration.
• Excellent communication skills and active participation in the Department’s culture of teaching and research.
• The ability to work harmoniously and constructively with colleagues and key stakeholders.
