Company Description
Advanced Studies in England (ASE) is a study abroad program located in the historic city of Bath, welcoming undergraduate students from U.S. colleges for semester, year-long, and summer study. ASE offers small seminar-style courses across disciplines including English, Creative Writing, Theatre and Film, Social and Political Science, and History, often complemented by internships or one-on-one tutorials, many with partners at Oxford University. Students live in historic townhouses and apartments within the city, enjoying a vibrant academic community in a picturesque setting. A rich social and cultural program supports students’ integration into the local community and provides a distinctive, immersive study abroad experience. Faculty members join a collegial team committed to rigorous scholarship, close student engagement, and cross-cultural learning.
Role Description
Due to the unexpected withdrawal of a member of our faculty, we have an urgent need for a Lecturer in Politics. This is a part-time contract teaching two classes on a Tuesday at our study centre in central Bath. The role involves planning and delivering undergraduate-level Politics and related Social/Political Science courses in small seminar settings, fostering critical thinking, debate, and independent inquiry. There are existing syllabuses which can be used or tweaked.
