We are keen to recruit someone who can contribute to the development and delivery of innovative learning and teaching, informed by your research or professional expertise, across our courses.

We would welcome an individual with research that would complement the current activity within the Faculty of Science and Engineering. You will have a developing track record in research in a relevant field, including research outputs that could contribute to the next REF exercise, and some experience of attracting financial support for your research via external sources, including both national and international funding bodies.

We are committed to promoting and developing a culture of excellence, diversity and mutual respect that supports all our staff and students and welcome applications from all sections of society.
