Dr Tom Vowler, Associate Lecturer in the School of Society and Culture, has been shortlisted for a major international award.
He is one of seven people in the running for the V.S. Pritchett Short Story Prize, an annual award organised by the Royal Society of Literature.
It is open to authors of unpublished short stories of between 2,000 and 4,000 words, and was founded in 1999 to commemorate the centenary of the renowned 20th-century author.
Dr Vowler has been shortlisted for his work Voyagers, which follows two female astrophysicists on a psychedelic journey exploring love, illness and the cosmos.
Author and judge Julia Armfield described it as being "clean and balanced, combining science and romance with flair and intelligence".
