School
The School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering (CSEE) is a large and dynamic department in the Faculty of Science and Health. The School is internationally known for its research in a range of areas and offers an excellent education to its students. We are rapidly growing due to increasing student numbers and have an opening for a Lecturer or Senior Lecturer in the area of Communication & Networks.
Duties of the Role
You will deliver excellent research and education, generate research income, contribute to the administration and management of the School, and to the local, regional and international profile of the Department.
We wish to improve the School’s existing research as well as open up and develop new research activities that will become recognised as excellent and internationally leading. You will teach on our courses at undergraduate and/or postgraduate level. This may include delivering existing modules, developing new modules and generally improving our research-led teaching. We aim for excellence in education as well as research and are looking for individuals who can contribute to both.
A full list of duties can be found within the job packs attached for each level.
Skills and qualifications required
You will have a relevant doctoral level research degree in the area of Communications/Networks or related discipline or be close to completion of PhD fellowship and will have Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy or the ability to gain professional recognition at this or a higher level if appropriate.
You will have confirmed experience in teaching at undergraduate and/or postgraduate levels, and of designing and planning learning activities. You will be able to demonstrate evidence of a clear computer-science research agenda and publication plan for submission to future Research Excellence Framework (REF) programmes, engagement in high-quality research activity, and a developing research profile.
We particularly welcome applications from those who identify as female or non-binary as they are under-represented in the School.
To support this commitment we have our Global Forum, a staff-led network that promotes and celebrates the rich cultural diversity among Essex staff, and our Colchester campus based Faith Centre, which hosts regular services, meetings and events organised by our chaplains and faith representatives.
