The position of Senior Lecturer in English involves teaching literature at all levels, including undergraduate courses within the subject, advanced level courses on the Master's degree programme, and undergraduate courses on the Intercultural Teacher Education programme.
The profile of the subject of English at Södertörn University reflects an intercultural and global perspective, which also characterises the orientation of the courses in English literature. We seek a Senior Lecturer, preferably specializing in 19th century and/or early 20th century literature, who can actively contribute to and develop this profile, and who can assume a leadership role in the development of the subject's research portfolio. Administrative tasks are included in the Senior Lecturer position, and thus a good working knowledge of spoken and written Swedish is important.
