LSE100: The LSE Course
LSE Fellow
Salary is competitive and not less than £34,156 pa inclusive
This is a fixed term appointment for two years, with potential to renew for a third year.
LSE100: The LSE Course is LSE’s flagship interdisciplinary course that is taken by all students in the Lent Term of their first year and Michaelmas Term of their second year. The aims of the course are twofold: to enhance students’ understanding of the methodologies of the social sciences, focusing on the core concepts of evidence, explanation and theory, and to strengthen their critical thinking, research and communication skills. We are seeking to appoint two LSE Fellows to support the development and delivery of LSE100.
Candidates should have: a demonstrated ability to deliver high-quality teaching, evident in an engaging, dynamic and successful teaching style; a commitment to developing a full repertoire of techniques and ideas for student-centred teaching; and enthusiasm for the aims of this innovative course. You will also have the ability to work effectively in close partnership with other Fellows and Teachers – on a one-to-one basis and in small groups – and to provide effective support and mentoring for teachers. Successful candidates will enjoy working both independently and collaboratively and will be willing to take responsibility for module development and other projects that contribute to the aims of the course. Experience teaching LSE100 is strongly preferred. In addition, holding or undertaking a Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education or a comparable teaching qualification is essential.
We offer an occupational pension scheme, generous annual leave and excellent training and development opportunities.
