Are you passionate about inspiring the next generation of sociologists?
We're seeking a dynamic Lecturer in Sociology to join our vibrant, academically rich, and interdisciplinary School of Humanities and Social Sciences. The post is an exciting opportunity to join a highly collaborative team of Sociologists nestled between the South Downs National Park, and the coast here in Brighton.

To be successful in this post, you should also:
* Have a degree in a relevant subject area
* Be competent with IT, particularly in relation to teaching and learning
