Lecturer Senior Lecturer in Physical Geography Job Description.pdfJob description

Background of department/role

The School of Psychology and Life Sciences is a vibrant and diverse community of academics, postgraduate and undergraduate students with approximately 150 academic staff and 30 professional service and technical support staff, providing innovative multidisciplinary science and social science education across a range of both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes to approximately 2000 students.

The science programmes within the Section are all offered with a foundation (Level 0) entry and the Section also offers an MPhil/PhD in Biological Sciences and an MSc by Research in Biosciences.

Our teaching and research facilities are based within the University's new GBP 65,000,000 STEM building at the Canterbury campus.

Within this STEM building, NAS is located alongside the new Kent and Medway Medical School (KMMS), other lab-based disciplines in PLS, and the new School of Engineering, Technology and Design.

We have close links with local and regional organisations involved in conservation and environmental management such as Wildwood Trust, the Aspinall Foundation, the Environment Agency and Kent Wildlife Trust.

We also have a specialist Life Sciences Industry Liaison Lab based at Discovery Park, Sandwich, one of Europe's leading science and technology parks.

Who are we looking for?

You will have an active involvement in the organisation and delivery of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation Science and Geography courses at undergraduate level. You will have experience teaching in a higher education setting and ideally have some experience in teaching beyond individual specialism, e.g. delivering sessions on basic biology, chemistry, physics or statistics. You should also have some experience in carrying out highquality research and/or a strong background in practice (e.g. consultancy, environmental management etc.). As part of your role, you will be involved in teaching across the wider Natural and Applied Sciences (NAS) curriculum and will supervise research project students, alongside teaching specialist modules.
We are particularly interested to hear from you if you have experience using GIS in teaching, research and/or knowledge exchange and consultancy and have an interest in collaborating with researchers with specialism in natural sciences (e.g. ecologists, biologists, chemists). Experience in teaching on climate and climate change would also be beneficial. You should also be able to demonstrate your independent research potential in an area that complements or strengthens existing research activity within our School.

How will you work?

We are committed to supporting
flexible methods of working wherever possible. You will be a member of the NAS academic team and will work closely with the other members of the team in the planning, delivery, assessment and evaluation of courses.
Campus attendance will vary on a daytoday basis depending on your teaching schedule and across the year, but you will be spending the majority of your working time on campus. Microsoft Teams is used for remote meetings, calls etc. when working offcampus. Teaching is typically delivered facetoface, supplemented by blended and flipped learning approaches using Blackboard as a virtual learning environment.

How to apply

Interviews are to be held:
