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.

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.
