The role
Northeastern University London wishes to appoint a part time Lecturer in Economics (Teaching only) to teach undergraduate students. Appointments will be made commensurate with experience and qualifications, reflecting a record of demonstrated teaching excellence.
Core duties will include delivering innovative and inclusive teaching in Microeconomics, Macroeconomics and/or Statistics for Economists at undergraduate level to predominantly international exchange students participating in a study abroad programme. The ability to deliver engaging, accessible, and intellectually rigorous instruction suited to both cohorts is essential.
We particularly encourage applications from those with an interest in innovative teaching, learning and assessment; those with experience of supporting a wide variety of students; and those belonging to groups underrepresented in UK higher education. We are open to appointing on a reduced fraction/job-share basis subject to our business needs.
Discipline/ Faculty
The appointee will join a small and collegial Economics team with varied research interests, sitting within the broader Faculty of Social Sciences at Northeastern University London. The Faculty comprises approximately 70 academic staff, including academics in Business and Project Management, Politics and International Relations, Sociology, Anthropology, Psychology, and Design & Communication Studies. The University provides a positive environment for interdisciplinary collaborations and encourages work across disciplinary boundaries.
The Economics discipline plays an important role in both the domestic degree portfolio and the University’s participation in Northeastern University’s global network programmes. A particular feature of this role is the provision of Economics courses to London Scholars - undergraduate students from Northeastern University’s US campuses spending a year studying in London. These students bring a range of perspectives that make for a rich and diverse classroom environment.
