Senior Lecturer/Lecturer at Lancaster University

We are particularly looking for candidates who are passionate about cyber security, on-line learning and widening diversity and inclusion in the discipline. It is anticipated that successful candidates will work closely alongside a lead academic for modules and a wider team that is supporting the delivery of courses.

Duties will primarily include supporting online students with assessments and tutorials, delivery of modules in cyber security, marking of coursework, managing course content hosted on online learning platforms (e.g. Moodle), contributing to curriculum development where appropriate, and participating in teaching reviews and quality assurance processes.  Some of these duties will need to be fulfilled outside of conventional office hours to support synchronous engagement with remote students during their anticipated study time and hence flexibility in working hours will be required. 

The School is committed to excellent research-led and problem focused student learning. This has been recognised by our institutional award of TEF Gold. Furthermore, Lancaster University received the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Education, the nation’s highest education honour, for the pioneering work that was done in the School with the BBC micro:bit.  SCC at Lancaster is noted for its balanced blend of hands-on practice (labs) and theory (lectures and workshops).  We believe in a continuous process of teaching quality improvement and innovation.  Lancaster is the only university in the North West that has attained National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) recognition as an Academic Centre of Excellence for both Cyber Security Education (ACE-CSE) and Research (ACE-CSR), along with delivering an NCSC Certified Master’s Degree.
