Falmouth University’s School of Communication
Falmouth University’s School of Communication is looking for an Associate Lecturer to join our BA Creative Writing/BA English & Creative Writing/BA Journalism & Creative Writing degrees on our Falmouth campus.
About the Role
As an Associate Lecturer, you will deliver module content and core undergraduate teaching primarily on English modules. Module content centres primarily on trans-historical English literary/cultural theory, including wider theoretical content about society, identity, revolutions, and media.
Preferred Experience
It would be beneficial to possess experience relevant to trans-historical English modules, covering traditional texts alongside contemporary media (film, TV, etc) and literary and cultural theory e.g. post-humanism and environmental literature. Some experience with Creative Writing would be beneficial especially with Fiction, studio writing practices, and/or Experimentalism, and a contemporary publishing profile.
Ideal Candidate
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

Key Qualities
We are looking for candidates who are passionate about their work and the industry our students aspire to work in. You will be collaborative, energetic, and adaptable. You will need to be an excellent communicator with teaching and/or mentoring experience. It would also be a benefit to have experience in Creative Writing studies, creative project management, or publishing studies.
