You will teach a minimum of one undergraduate option or core module in creative writing and will undertake appropriate administrative and examining responsibilities associated with the teaching of our Creative Writing programme.

The School of English has played a historic role in supporting and stimulating new literary voices from around the world. In 1996, to maintain our rich and diverse traditions of literary creativity, we instituted a Creative Writing Fellowship for the purpose of teaching creative writing to undergraduates within our honours degree programme. This post is a new iteration of that fellowship.

You will join a team which includes Poet Laureate Simon Armitage as Professor of Poetry; Professor of Romantic Literature and poet John Whale; Zaffer Kunial as Douglas Caster Cultural Fellow (a position previously held by Helen Mort, Malika Booker and Vahni Capildeo), writer and academic Dr Kimberly Campanello (who is also the Programme Leader) and Leverhulme Fellows and poets Rachel Bower and Karl O’Hanlon. A new undergraduate BA (Hons) in English Literature with Creative Writing began in 2018-19 and a Masters in Creative Writing and Critical Life was launched in 2017. The School also offers practice-led PhDs in Creative Writing and performance-based theatre studies.

The Leeds University Poetry Centre (LUPC) is based in the School and regularly welcomes guest readings from established and emerging poets. The School is home to two internationally-respected journals which feature creative writing: Stand magazine (poems and short stories) and Moving Worlds (poems, short stories and critical articles) as well as Poetry & Audience and a new annual anthology of students’ writing called Tenter Hook.
