Ipswich, Suffolk
Fixed term for 1 year 11 months, 37 hours per week (1.0 FTE)
Salary: Band 6 - £42,632 to £47,874 per annum
About the Post
The posts have been created because of the expansion of the postgraduate (PG) Business courses at the University of Suffolk. Working primarily within our International Business Management (IBM) programme, the post-holder will work with colleagues to deliver our international postgraduate programmes, whilst acting as a dissertation supervisor.

Some course leader experience of postgraduate programmes would also be advantageous.
About the Team
Although the team is small currently, we expect to see resources grow alongside the growth of several programmes. Collaboration is key to our success, with most staff involved in teaching across programmes, working with colleagues in other schools or departments, and engaging with professional practice, knowledge exchange, and research. Our focus is on supporting one another to succeed together, and we will look for the post-holder to demonstrate a commitment to working in this manner.
