[Commlist] 0.5 Teaching Associate Position at the University of Strathclyde

The Department of Humanities at the University of Strathclyde is seeking 
to appoint a Teaching Associate to join our Journalism, Media and 
Communication (JMC) subject team.

The Department of Humanities is a community of researchers, teachers, 
students, and support staff working together on some of the most 
interesting and exciting issues in contemporary culture. JMC is an 
integral part of the Department and wider University with a popular 
joint-honours undergraduate degree, three Masters programmes (in Media & 
Communications, Digital Journalism and Gender Studies) and a growing PhD 
community. JMC was ranked 1st in the UK for Communication & Media 
Studies (The Times/Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024). Our 
world-leading research is concentrated around key themes in gender & 
media; science, health & environment; politics, publics & activism; and 
violence & conflict.

We seek to appoint a Teaching Associate to join our JMC subject team, on 
a 0.5 FTE open ended (continuing) contract, with relevant practitioner 
and teaching experience, to deliver journalism practice-based modules 
across the curriculum.

We welcome applicants with specialisms in any area of practice-based 
media and communication, but are particularly keen to hear from 
applicants who can contribute to the breadth of practice-based teaching 
including core modules in news and features, news reporting and writing 
and options in working for and with the Scottish media and media ethics.

The role involves delivering a range of established teaching modules at 
undergraduate and postgraduate levels, with guidance as required, in a 
manner that supports a research-informed and practical approach to 
student learning; undertaking student assessment and examination 
activities, including the provision of appropriate feedback to students; 
supervision of students as required, providing direction, support and 
guidance and contributing to curriculum development activities.

To be considered for this role it is essential you have a relevant good 
honours degree and PhD (or equivalent professional experience) and have 
demonstrable practitioner and teaching experience. You will have the 
ability to plan and organise your own workload effectively, work in a 
team environment and have excellent interpersonal and communication 
skills, with the ability to listen, engage and persuade, and to present 
complex information in an accessible way to a range of audiences. 
Experience of curriculum development and student supervision would be 
advantageous.

Informal enquiries about the post can be directed to Professor Lesley 
Henderson, Subject Leader at (Lesley.henderson /at/ strath.ac.uk). Please note 
the University of Strathclyde will close on Friday 20 December for the 
Christmas period and reopen on Monday 06 January 2025.
