FTE: 0.5 (17.5 hours/week)

Term: Fixed Term (July 2024)

Closing Date: 28/08/2022

The Centre for Lifelong Learning (CLL), part of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences is home to a globally recognised team of professional genealogists who were the first to offer a Masters qualification in this field and who continue to build Strathclyde’s reputation as the leader in genealogical study. The Masters programme remains the largest of its type worldwide with over 250 students across various study routes. The team have, more recently, led on the development of other areas of work including doctoral study, expertise in the use of DNA in family history research, a MOOC (massive open online course) which has attracted over 150,000 learners to date, research into genealogical aspects of historical events (e.g. Battle of Bannockburn, Declaration of Arbroath) and a busy schedule of speaking at conferences and expos.

As a result of growth on the postgraduate programme, CLL is seeking to appoint a Teaching Fellow to add to its existing team of staff supervising students on the Masters pathways (available full-time, part-time and modular).

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a successful and innovative programme and be part of a Centre which prides itself on its people-oriented approach, proactive and commercial track record. The post would suit someone with genealogical experience, an understanding of online learning and who has knowledge of the HE sector. Ideally, it will be based within CLL but agile working arrangements can be discussed. For an informal conversation, contact Tahitia McCabe, Course Leader and KE Fellow in Genealogical Studies.

Informal enquiries about the post can be directed to Tahitia McCabe, Course Leader and KE Fellow Genealogical Studies (Tahitia.mccabe@strath.ac.uk).

Formal interviews for this post will be held on 09/09/2022.
