King's College London - Department of English Language and Literature
(fixed term, 0.5)
This will be a fixed term (3 years) 0.5 appointment. The appointee will join a department in which research and teaching in English are enhanced by interaction with contemporary writers, performers and artists. S/he will help to shape that culture through the provision of formal instruction in creative writing, and collaboration in interdisciplinary research projects.
The Department of English Language and Literature is committed to research and teaching excellence in anglophone literary and cultural studies, from the Anglo-Saxon period to the present day, across a broad sweep of geographical locations and national traditions, genres, styles, and media (including theatre and performance). Through strategic investment, it builds on its growing reputation for dynamic and innovative research and teaching (in RAE 2008, 70% of outputs were judged 'world leading' or 'internationally excellent'), and a distinctive programme of collaborations with institutions in the cultural sector.
