Instructor: International Marketing (London, UK)

at  Study Abroad

CONTRACT TYPE: FIXED TERM/CONTRACT

The Institute for Study Abroad is seeking an instructor to teach a course entitled ‘International Marketing’ for the IFSA Study in London program over the upcoming Spring semester.
This course explores the intricacies of international marketing, examining how businesses navigate diverse global markets and cultural landscapes. Students delve into market entry strategies, global branding, and cross-cultural consumer behavior, gaining insights into effective marketing campaigns tailored to international audiences. Through case studies and collaborative projects, students develop strategic marketing skills essential for success in the global marketplace.
Along with teaching the class, the instructor will also be responsible for assessment and marking as well as the design of at least two co-curricular activities such as guest speakers, site visits or other appropriate events designed to expose students to new perspectives and help them integrate, apply, and synthesise key learning. The syllabus for the course has been approved by our School of Record, however minor modifications can be made in agreement with the Academic Programs Manager.
This is a great opportunity for faculty, postdocs, and PhD students. The successful candidate will have a minimum of a master’s degree in a related subject and be at least two years into a PhD. The successful candidate will have experience of teaching and assessment in a UK and/or US higher education setting. Prior experience of working with study abroad students is a plus.
IFSA is committed to the professional development of its faculty, and opportunities for professional development will be made available to the successful candidate.
Semester dates: 13th January 2025 – 2nd May 2025
While contracts will initially be offered for the Spring term only, we fully intend for the course to run in both Fall and Spring semesters. Contract renewal will be subject to student demand and instructor performance.
Teaching hours: 3 hours teaching per week over 15 weeks (1 reading week is provided). Total 45 contact hours. The course will be delivered across two sessions: Tuesdays and Thursdays 13.30-15.00 (the timetable is set, so candidates should be available at these times). Our instructors also provide one office hour per week where they are available to meet students.
Candidates will need to have the right to work as self-employed in the UK, as this post is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
Interested applicants are encouraged to submit their details as soon as possible. Interviews will take place on a rolling basis.
