Lecturer in Computing (Cyber Security/Networking)

1.0 FTE – Permanent

Lecturer Salary within range of £37,474 to £43,414 per annum

The School of Engineering, Arts, Science and Technology prides itself on offering excellent learning and teaching in an environment that supports world-class application focused research in the subject areas relevant to our curricula. The School has enjoyed sustained investment in teaching spaces and specialist facilities. It is housed in the modern James Hehir building (opened in 2010 with £25m investment) and the upgraded West Building (opened in Sept 2016 with £5m investment). A new technology centre (The DigiTech Centre) in partnership with BT plc has opened at Adastral Park (with £9.6m investment including a state-of-the-art Juniper networking sandpit, Cyber Range, AI Compute Server and fully equipped IT suites) and welcomed its first computing students in January 2021.

The Technology Subject Area has established a computing degree portfolio around two flagship undergraduate programmes – a BSc (Hons) Computing degree with AI, Cyber Security and Web & Mobile optional pathways, and the BSc (Hons) Digital & Technology Solutions degree apprenticeship with Software Engineer, Network Engineer, Cyber Security Analyst (from 22/23) and Data Analyst specialisms (from 23/24). At postgraduate level, we offer a MSc Data Science and Artificial Intelligence conversion degree and will be adding two additional masters-level taught degrees from 23/24.

Consequently, the Technology Subject Area is seeking to appoint a permanent Lecturer in Computing to undertake teaching and research in a variety of computing areas. It is expected that the successful applicants will have expertise in cyber security and network engineering, and that they would initially teach on the degree apprenticeship programmes. The successful candidates should expect to be a supervisor for final-year projects and apprenticeship “synoptic projects”.

The ideal candidate will have industry or research experience within the subject area and demonstratable knowledge and practical ability to teach and support students in their learning of cyber security and network engineering topics.

Closing date: Friday 3 March, 5pm.
