Summary

Swansea University is a research-led university that has been making a difference since 1920. The University community thrives on exploration and discovery and offers the right balance of excellent teaching and research, matched by an enviable quality of life.

Our stunning waterfront campuses and multicultural community make us a desirable workplace for colleagues from around the world. Our reward and benefits, and ways of working enable those who join us to have enriching careers, matched by an excellent work-life balance.

About The Role

We are looking for an enthusiastic, student-centred French specialist to join Modern Languages, Translation and Interpreting (MLTI) as a Teaching Fellow on a fixed-term, five-month contract at 0.8 FTE. This semester-long post is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to build their university teaching experience in a supportive and collegial department.

You will teach French language across a range of proficiency levels, together with translation and/or interpreting, to undergraduate and postgraduate students. You will set and mark assessments, give timely and constructive feedback, act as a Personal Tutor and contribute to open days and outreach. The role is focused entirely on teaching and the student experience, so there is no expectation of research beyond what supports your teaching.

MLTI is part of the School of Culture and Communication and is based at Singleton Campus, beside Singleton Park and a short walk from Swansea Bay. We bring language, culture, translation and interpreting together under one roof, teaching across our undergraduate degrees and our postgraduate programmes in translation and interpreting. We are a friendly, multilingual and international team who care about our students and about one another, and our small-group language teaching means you will get to know your students well.

If you are passionate about French and about helping students grow in confidence as linguists, translators and interpreters, we would love to hear from you.
