We wish to appoint a person with a strong record of teaching experience in the area of Finance. Preference may be given to candidates with active interests in one or more of the following areas: fintech, investments, international finance, risk management.

Core duties will include preparing teaching materials and delivering the courses listed above. For each course teaching will span one 12-week semester (either in the fall or spring) and consist of two 90-minute sessions per week. The teaching should be interactive and engaging, rather than traditional lecturing. In addition, the appointee will set and mark assessments for all students, hold office hours, and prepare and maintain course VLE sites in accordance with University policies and student needs. Attendance at regular team and faculty meetings is expected.

The role requires availability for teaching on campus on at least two days of the week during term-times during the relevant contract period (terms are September to December and January to April).

We are open to appointing on a reduced fraction/job-share basis subject to our business needs.

Discipline/ Faculty

The appointee will work in a multidisciplinary team within the Faculty of Social Sciences of Northeastern University London. In the 24/25 academic year, the Business team, led by a Head of Discipline, includes approximately 15 academic staff, including instructors delivering classes in international business, marketing, finance, organisational behaviour, and accounting. Business is one of the University’s fastest-growing disciplinary areas, with high demand for new courses particularly from students visiting from Northeastern campuses in North America.

The Faculty of Social Sciences comprises several subject areas that may be of interest for interdisciplinary work, including Economics, Politics & International Relations, Sociology, Anthropology, and Psychology, and Design & Communication Studies.
