Every colleague has a vital role to play in helping us achieve this vision.
About the role:
The School of Engineering and Computing at the University of Lancashire is home to a vibrant and growing community of students and staff within Architecture and Construction. We are seeking to appoint a Lecturer to support teaching and contribute to a high‑quality student learning experience across our Architecture provision.
The primary purpose of this role is to support structured module delivery and to provide academic and pastoral support within design studio (workshop) activities. The post holder will contribute to the assessment of credit‑bearing work and provide timely, constructive feedback—both formally and informally—to support student learning and development.
This appointment will play a key role in delivering high‑quality studio‑based teaching, ensuring compliance with professional body requirements and internal academic regulations, and enhancing the overall student experience across all Architecture cohorts.
About you:
You will have experience of teaching in a higher education environment within a relevant discipline and will demonstrate a strong commitment to high‑quality teaching and student support. You will be IT literate, able to work effectively on your own initiative, and contribute positively as part of a collaborative academic team.
You will hold an undergraduate degree (or equivalent) in a relevant subject, together with a relevant postgraduate qualification. A professional registration with RIBA and/or ARB is essential for this role.
Informal enquiries are warmly welcomed. Please contact Dr Sravanthi Sashikumar, Associate Dean, School of Engineering and Computing, via email in the first instance.
Applicants must meet all essential criteria outlined in the person specification to be considered for interview.
Use of AI in applications: We want to understand your genuine interest in the role and artificial intelligence can be a useful tool to support your application. However, all examples and statements provided must be truthful, factually accurate and taken directly from your own experience and the written elements of your application should accurately reflect your own communication style. Applications that rely too heavily on AI tools can appear generic and lack the detail we need to assess your skills and experience.
We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications for the role. Therefore, if you are interested, please submit your application as early as possible.
