Sheffield Hallam University has one of the largest tourism programmes

Cultural Change (cf. www.tourism-culture.com), an excellent record in 
international research, consultancy, publications and conferences. We 
are seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced person to 
work with us in further enhancing our reputation for quality and 
innovation in our teaching programmes.
 
The Tourism subject group has recently seen an increase in the 
quantity of its work in terms of undergraduate, postgraduate and PhD 
programmes as well as in research, professional development and 
consultancy activities.  It is responsible for the delivery of Masters 
Programmes in Tourism as well as contributing to other postgraduate
programmes. 
At undergraduate level we are responsible for delivering a range of
programmes 
in Tourism.
  
The subject group and its programmes have strong links to a number of 
Professional Institutes including the Tourism Management Institute, 
International Festivals and Events Association and the Association for 
Tourism and Leisure Education.
 
In addition the group makes a significant contribution to other 
undergraduate and postgraduate programmes within the Faculty and 
provides consultancy and research services to a range of 
organisations. Members of the group are members of several national and 
international committees and serve on the editorial board of a number of

key journals.  The subject group has a strong track record of journal
and 
conference publications and members are authors of major 
international textbooks in Tourism.
 
The Faculty is seeking to appoint a candidate who would be able to 
contribute to the delivery of undergraduate and postgraduate modules 
in Tourism.
 
Preference will be given to those candidates who show they are able to 
contribute to the teaching of Tourism and related subjects. However it

Candidates should be flexible in being able to teach over a range of 
subject areas, within the Tourism field.
