The Faculty of Arts, Business and Social Sciences brings together academics and students from a broad range of academic disciplines dedicated to interdisciplinary working, cutting-edge research, teaching and scholarship. We are proud of the significant contribution we make to the success and regeneration of the West Midlands.

The University of Wolverhampton holds a distinctive place within the higher education sector, and is one of the most successful modern universities, delivering excellence in teaching and research, widening access, and in business engagement. Having begun life nearly 190 years ago to enhance education and skill base of the workforce in what is today a major industrial conurbation, we have continued to fulfil and develop the role to meet the needs of the region we serve.

The School of Social, Historical and Political Studies is seeking to appoint a Lecturer in Sociology who can make a positive contribution to our programmes. The post is for one year, to cover a secondment.

Sociology is located in the Department of Social Science, Inclusion and Public Protection, a large interdisciplinary unit which constitutes a rich and diverse range of academic disciplines. The ability to work across disciplines will be important.

The Department has well established links with statutory and community organisations, particularly in student volunteering and research contexts. Experience of working with relevant organisations would be advantageous.
