The Department of Economics is seeking to appoint a Teaching Fellow/Departmental Lecturer in Development Economics.

The Department of Economics is one of the largest and most diverse groups of academic economists in Europe and is committed to excellence in teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

The theory modules are graduate-level courses in applied theory with a focus on issues and ideas relevant to development economics and are offered during the first term. The teaching involves giving lectures and classes and providing small group supervision.

The successful candidate will also provide a 12-hour module on a topic related to applied development economics during the second term. You will have a doctorate in economics, or related disciplines with a strong focus on economics (or be close to completion by the time of taking up the post) with a focus on development issues and a strong quantitative component. You will have a proven ability to teach high-achieving and challenging students and preferably have experience in graduate teaching and in student assessment and examination. Additionally, you will have sufficient depth and breadth of knowledge of development economics to develop course materials as well as evidence of your commitment to your own professional development.

You must also have the ability to contribute effectively to the administrative work of the Department and the ability to innovate and work effectively with colleagues as part of an interdisciplinary team. Furthermore, you must possess excellent communication and presentation skills as well as having the sensitivity to deal with pastoral duties.
