The Part-time Lecturer for Translation and Localisation is expected to teach relevant courses, prepare lessons and learning materials, assess student work, and contribute practical industry knowledge. Candidates should have strong academic or professional experience in translation, localisation, linguistics, language technology, or a closely related field. A relevant postgraduate qualification is advantageous, along with excellent English communication skills and familiarity with current translation tools, localisation workflows, and industry practices. The successful candidate should be able to engage students from diverse backgrounds, deliver well-organised classes, provide constructive feedback, and work collaboratively with the university’s academic team. Teaching or curriculum-development experience in higher education would be beneficial.
