Glasgow Caledonian – the largest and leading modern university in 
Scotland - is a vibrant, values-led university with campuses in the

careers they dream of and deserve.

In 2023 we rocketed into the top 40 universities in the UK in the highly

performing modern university in the inaugural Daily Mail guide, and

and programmes. GCU is one of the leading educators of work-ready 
journalists, and one of the only double-accredited provider of 
journalism degrees in the UK. Our journalism graduates work across 
print, digital, broadcast and online and we are interested in hearing 
from candidates who can teach in one or more of these areas, including 
the use of industry-specific software for journalism. Alternatively, 
academic research on journalism that can integrate with our current 
offer will be considered.

Ideally, candidates will be able to demonstrate industry-experience 
alongside some higher education teaching experience and be prepared to 
contribute to a wide range of journalism modules from undergraduate to 
postgraduate programmes.

If you would like to discuss this role, please contact the Head of 
Department, Professor Simon McKerrell for an informal discussion:

that we do.  As such, we welcome applications from all suitably 
qualified candidates who demonstrate the GCU Values.

retain a high performing workforce which makes a critical contribution 
to our success​.

The University holds the prestigious Athena SWAN Silver institution 
award, which recognises our significant record of activity and 
achievement in promoting gender equality across different disciplines.

As a Disability Confident 'Committed' employer, we are striving to 
ensure that our recruitment process is inclusive and accessible to 
disabled people. Although the Disability Confident 'Committed' level 
does not guarantee an interview for disabled applicants, we will make 
reasonable adjustments for disabled applicants during the recruitment 
process.

which recognises our commitment to supporting staff with caring
