Job description

Lecturer (KIF/AEP) - Strand, London, WC2R 2LS

About us

The Department of Physics at King’s College London has a distinguished tradition since 1829. We are committed to educational and research excellence, offering a variety of BSc, MSci, and postgraduate programmes driven by research.

The department is diverse, international, and friendly, fostering a collaborative and supportive environment. We hold a silver Athena Swan award and Juno Champion status from the Institute of Physics (IOP). We promote diversity and support staff through flexible working, caring support, training, and various inclusion networks. Our policies support work-life balance, including comprehensive leave options for parental, adoption, surrogacy, dependent, and shared leave.

The Faculty of Natural, Mathematical & Engineering Sciences (NMES) includes Chemistry, Engineering, Informatics, Mathematics, and Physics. All departments are highly rated in research, with a broad range of educational programmes. The university is investing in NMES, with growing student and staff populations. Our staff come from over 45 countries, and 56% of students are international. Most staff are based on the Strand Campus in central London.

About the role

We seek a Lecturer in Education to join the Department of Physics, contributing to our successful, friendly, and dynamic team, in collaboration with the Department of Physics and King’s Foundations.

The role involves teaching highly capable international students on the King’s Foundations programme, a one-year RQF Level 3 course preparing students for undergraduate study. You will support students to become independent, critical, and creative learners, with opportunities to develop and deliver Physics & Mathematics modules.

Please note that some students may be under 18; therefore, you may need to act as a Personal Tutor, which requires an enhanced check by the Disclosure and Barring Service.

The successful candidate will join the Physics Education Research Group, lead departmental module teaching, and undertake minor administrative duties as directed by the Head of Department. HE teaching experience is essential, and innovative teaching methods are an advantage.

This is a full-time position (35 hours/week) with a fixed-term contract for 3 years.
