Buckinghamshire New University is an ambitious, modern university that is always open to fresh ideas and thinking. We believe in the transformative power of education, and in doing the right thing by our students, people and local community. That’s why our BNU community is a special place to work and study, and where people who want to make a difference can contribute and succeed.

We are committed to being dynamic, responsible, inclusive, visionary, and empowering to ensure the best experience for our learners and excellent service to our partners and colleagues. We encourage applications from all backgrounds and communities and are happy to discuss any reasonable adjustments you require.

This role within the School of Human and Social Sciences involves teaching and module leadership on our Criminology and Forensic Studies courses. The Forensic Studies course has achieved Conditional Educational Accreditation from the CSFS. Expertise in CSI and/or Forensic Science is essential, focusing on two standards from the CSFS:

Interpretation, Evaluation and Presentation of Evidence (IEPE): The evaluation of scenes or laboratory submissions within a quality management system to formulate forensic strategies and subsequent work. This includes interpreting evidence to inform investigations and court presentations, emphasizing confidence and clarity in conveying strengths and limitations.

CSI: Fundamental in ensuring effective forensic examination or analysis. Students should have theoretical and practical knowledge of sound crime scene processing techniques.

The role requires teaching and supporting students through a learner-centered approach, delivering a first-class student experience with practical, applied activities. The individual will also undertake curriculum development, professional practice, enterprise activity, and research.

What we offer:

• Hybrid working (dependent on business needs)
• Contributory pension scheme
• Discounted gym membership for our on-site gym
• A range of staff discounts with major retailers
