Job description

The School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering (CSEE) is a large and vibrant department in the Faculty of Science and Health. The REF ranked CSEE 6 in the UK for Computer Science research power and 100% of its research impact was rated world-leading or internationally excellent. CSEE is internationally known for its research in a range of areas and offers an excellent education to its students. The school has seen tremendous growth recently as a result of its research and education output and is looking for a lecturer who can help continue the development of the school and its students.

The successful candidate will be expected to deliver excellent research and teaching, to generate research income, to contribute to the administration and management of the school and to its local, regional, and international profile.

The posts will include teaching on our courses at undergraduate and/or postgraduate level.  This may include delivering existing modules, developing new modules and generally enhancing our research-led teaching. We aim for excellence in education as well as research and are looking for candidates who can contribute to both posts.

We are committed to fostering an inclusive and equitable environment by actively supporting the representation, empowerment, and opportunities for women and non-binary individuals, ensuring their voices are heard, their contributions are valued, and their potential is recognised within the School.

A full list of duties and responsibilities can be found within the job pack.

Qualifications and Skills required

You will hold a relevant doctoral level research degree in computer science, robotics, or equivalent professional experience or practice, or be close to completion of PhD and Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy, or the ability to gain professional recognition at this or a higher level if appropriate.

You will also have proven experience in teaching at undergraduate and/or postgraduate levels, or demonstrable potential to achieve this, as well as experience of designing and planning of learning activities and of developing effective learning environments (face-to-face and/or virtual learning). You will possess strong written and verbal communication skills.

The University of Essex is a campus based University and all academic appointments are made with the expectation that you will be present on campus to fulfil the requirements of your position. At the time of a job offer, the possibility of hybrid working, will be discussed and considered on an individual basis, but you will be required to be based within the UK.

At the University of Essex, internationalism and diversity is central to who we are and what we do. We are committed to being a cosmopolitan, internationally oriented university that is welcoming to staff and students from all countries, faiths and backgrounds, where you can find the world in one place.
