Lecturer in Construction, Full Time, Permanent
The School of Engineering and the Built Environment (SEBE) is delighted to offer a new post in Construction. SEBE has experienced a growth of under and post-graduate students in construction over the past decade. In addition to an undergraduate programme in Construction Project Management, the School now also offers equivalent post-graduate programmes available on-Campus and Online. Research activity has also expanded markedly over the past decade and is currently focused on off-site construction, building energy performance and building retrofit. Traditionally this research activity has been conducted by the Institute for Sustainable Construction. From September 2021 this shall be channelled through the Centre for Smart Energy and Sustainable Construction.
Given the success of both the taught programmes and research activity in SEBE, construction is now one of the principal and distinctive features of the School and as a result the University is keen to appoint a Lecturer in Construction able to capitalise on this, be it by expanding the growing teaching and learning portfolio, or by further enhancing the research effort.
The role
As a Lecturer in Construction, you shall be expected to deliver high-quality teaching and learning and contribute to the School’s growing reputation. You shall also be expected to conduct high-quality research able to meet the growing scientific and technological expectations of the construction sector.
In terms of teaching and learning, the post offers the opportunity to lead SEBEs Construction Innovation, Production Management, Project Management and Procurement Strategy modules and drive the development of the School’s post-graduate dissertation provision. In terms of research, the successful candidate shall be invited to conduct research in the field of smart energy and sustainable construction.
Who we are looking for:
Essential:
A doctoral level qualification in the relevant discipline.
Qualification in relevant discipline at least to postgraduate level;
Sufficient breadth and depth of experience to develop high quality teaching/learning and research programmes;
Demonstrable evidence of high-quality teaching;
Evidence of a professional academic and research profile, alongside a commitment to sustained continuous professional/academic development;
Ability to demonstrate a level of achievement appropriate to the post being applied for, including international and national standing, research track record of high-quality outputs, external income generation and academic leadership.
Desirable:
HEA and CIOB, or RICS membership or a strong willingness to achieve membership within 2 years of appointment
