Lecturer in Digital Technologies

Cranfield University - MK:U

Full time starting salary is normally in the range of £45,751 to £50,798 per annum, with potential progression up to £63,059 per annum

Location: Milton Keynes/Cranfield

We are inviting applications from passionate, motivated people to join the MK:U education team, working on our fast-growing Degree Apprenticeship courses in data and digital, particularly our hugely successful Digital Technology and Solutions course.

About the Role

This role is an opportunity to help us shape the future of education and fill the digital skills gap. The successful applicant will divide their time between developing and delivering modules on MK:U courses using our distinctive Problem-Based Learning approach (we’ll provide training for you), supporting our Course Leads and managing our apprentices, and keeping in touch with our impressive client base to involve them in course content and delivery.

About you

We are seeking people to join the team who are as a passionate as we are about digital and data skills and who believe, as we do, that we need a lot more people who can bring these skills to the workplace. Digital technologies are developing so rapidly that we need new streams of talent. As educators, our job is to make digital and data attractive and exciting to study as well as making sure it’s relevant and applicable to the jobs of today and of the future.

You will be excited about making education relevant to the digital economy and gripped by the challenge of making it understandable and fun to study. You will prize teamwork and value your colleagues’ skills and knowledge. You will be interested in how problem-based learning can be used to ensure that education is relevant to the workplace and open to the idea that we can blur the boundary between ‘work’ and ‘education’ because learning takes place in both contexts. You will be motivated by helping your students to succeed in their careers.

You will, most likely, have undergraduate education experience in a subject matter related to Digital and/or Technology Solutions or data science. Alternatively, you may have postgraduate education experience with evidence of educational innovation.  You will have an advanced degree in your subject area (Masters or above) and will either hold or be working towards a qualification in education (e.g. a Postgraduate certificate or AdvanceHE recognition).

To be successful in this role you will be comfortable with change, willing to work flexibly, and open to new ways of doing things. Importantly, you will be able to collaborate with and influence people and build relationships quickly, and you will be eager to play a full role in the fast-moving and exciting MK:U project.
