The School of Modern Languages and Cultures (SMLC) is implementing a strategic refresh to position the School as a national centre of excellence at the intersection of languages, cultures, AI, and digital technologies. This post is part of that initiative. The successful candidate will join a collaborative team developing the proposals that will shape SMLC’s new programme landscape, working with partners across the School, the Faculty of Arts, and the University. The role involves contributing to existing provision while actively developing new programmes and modules within the Innovation Portfolio.
We will consider applications for part‑time employment, even though the position is advertised as full time.
We welcome applications from candidates working in any discipline whose research engages with how communication operates across languages, modes, and communities.
Relevant Areas of Specialisation:- Translation studies
- Modern languages and technologies
- Applied linguistics
- Computational linguistics
- Human‑computer interaction
- Digital multilingualism
- Data science
- Critical data studies
- AI ethics and governance
- Science and technology studies
- Language policy and access
- Health communication
- Legal informatics
Multilingual competence is essential, whether or not you hold a formal qualification in languages. A strong research record or compelling research potential, and evidence of the capacity to work across disciplinary and institutional boundaries, are equally important. Experience of HE teaching is expected. We are actively seeking to diversify the disciplinary profile of SMLC and encourage applications from candidates who may not have considered a Modern Languages School as their natural home.
Benefits:- Attractive pension scheme
- 30 days holiday plus University Christmas closure
- Generous parental/adoption leave policy
- Onsite childcare facilities
- Excellent learning and development opportunities
