York St John is an ambitious, modern university at the heart of historic York. We are recruiting for a full-time Lecturer in Creative Writing. You will join colleagues in the newly-established York Centre for Writing, a hub for creative research and writing in the North of England, and contribute to a thriving research and teaching community.
Significant investment in our campus and facilities, the development of forward-thinking new partnerships and an enhanced range of contemporary courses have helped make us the fastest growing University in the UK over the past two years.
You will be a published writer with a strong profile and/or hold a PhD. You will have experience of teaching in Higher Education and will be required to teach flexibly across a variety of genres and forms on undergraduate Creative Writing modules, as well as contributing to our highly successful MA in Creative Writing.
You will provide students at all levels with practical skills, inspiration and guidance, as well as helping to shape their understanding of the intellectual and literary traditions in which they are working. You will also contribute to our dynamic literary community, as well as our literature events series and annual publications.
We particularly welcome applications from candidates who have experience of devising successful research projects, funding bids and collaborations, as well as those with a background in experimental writing and/or scriptwriting.
If you would like to shape the story of a 175-year-old institution with a fantastic future, we would love to hear from you. (Job Ref: 049-18)
