We are looking for an Engineering Lecturer with experience in electrical and electronic systems to support the delivery of our expanding team and Engineering programmes.

The campus is well resourced to deliver a first-class learning experience with a well-balanced mix of lecture theatres, classrooms, laboratories and training workshops.
As a lecturer, you will shape the future of the next generation of engineers through your teaching and wider scholarly activity, which may include research and consultancy.
