Salary: £34,304 per annum
Start Date: 11 April 2022, or as soon as possible thereafter
Fixed term until 10 April 2023
We invite applications from candidates with
interests in Geography and Sustainable Development, particularly those with
expertise in Political Ecology, and commitment to excellence in
teaching. You will contribute to the highly successful undergraduate and
postgraduate degree programmes in Geography and Sustainable Development at St
Andrews, with opportunities to interact with our excellent research clusters.
Your role will involve engaging the interest and
motivation of students and inspiring them to learn by fostering debate and
developing their ability to engage in critical discourse and rational
thinking. You will work as a member of our
teaching teams under the overall direction of the School’s Director of
Teaching. You will have excellent organisational and administrative skills, and
the ability to communicate complex information and ideas effectively. You will
be encouraged to seek ways to improve performance by reflecting on teaching
design and delivery, and by analysing feedback.
You will have completed, or be about to
complete, a PhD in Human Geography, Sustainable Development, Environmental
Studies, or a related field with a specialisation in Political Ecology or Environmental Justice. Experience with a range of teaching formats, including
lectures, IT labs, tutorials, seminars, practical and field classes as well as
the supervision of group work would be an advantage, as would experience of
teaching within the Scottish university system.

contract until 10 April 2023.

Clayton, gsdhos@st-andrews.ac.uk,
