 Dear colleagues,

My Department is hiring a 12 month teaching fellow in Political
Communication. The closing date is a week from now, on the 19th of July.
Please distribute this information to anyone you think would be interested
in it, and direct them to me for any queries about the job.

The official announcement is below and at
https://jobs.royalholloway.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx?ref=0717-256

The Department of Politics and International Relations at Royal Holloway,
University of London, invites applications for a twelve-month Teaching
Fellowship in Political Communication, tenable from 1 September 2017 to 31
August 2018. Salary is £41,458 to £49,059 per annum, including London
Allowance.

You will make important contributions to the delivery of the Department’s
undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in political communication,
including the supervision of undergraduate and postgraduate dissertation
students. You will be an effective team player and an active and vital
member of this busy and intellectually vibrant Department.

For this Teaching Fellowship we are seeking someone who can supplement
existing offerings and fill gaps in our 2017/18 curriculum, particularly at
third year and Masters level. The Department would welcome teaching support
in the areas of digital politics, political journalism, political
marketing, and/or political communication in comparative and/or regional
perspective, but will certainly consider candidates able to offer
specialist courses in other areas at the meeting point of politics,
international relations, media studies and communication.

Having your PhD awarded by 1 September 2017 is desirable, but not a
requirement.
