Teaching Fellow in Economics

We are seeking a Teaching Fellow in Economics to join the School of Economics. In this role, you will contribute to established teaching programmes by delivering high-quality teaching and learning across undergraduate and postgraduate modules, supporting both campus-based and distance-learning provision.

You will undertake a range of academic duties including lectures, seminars, student supervision, assessment and feedback, pastoral support, and the development of engaging learning materials using appropriate teaching technologies.

Working closely with module and programme leaders, you will play an active part in maintaining and enhancing the School’s reputation for excellent teaching. You will contribute to module design and quality enhancement, support curriculum development where required, coordinate assessment activities, and engage fully in the academic life of the School through committee work, professional development and relevant professional activities.

About You

You will hold a PhD in Economics or a related discipline (or close to completion) or possess equivalent professional qualifications and experience. You will have strong subject knowledge across core areas of economics together with a commitment to delivering high-quality teaching. Experience of, or progress towards, a recognised higher education teaching qualification is essential, and experience of teaching in both campus-based and online environments would be advantageous.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
