You should ideally be familiar with the mechanics of the British higher education system. 

The university has created a new academic career pathway for staff in academic roles. The structure focuses on career pathways, these being:

• Academic members of staff whose responsibilities encompass both discipline-based research and teaching and learning

• Academic, Teaching & Learning, members of staff whose responsibilities are primarily teaching-focused, including pedagogic research.

The new pathways have been designed to ensure that academic strengths whether in research, scholarship, teaching, the wider student experience, leadership or innovation and engagement, are all appropriately recognised, developed, valued, and rewarded.

They reflect parity in progression and reward in recognition of these contributions and they enable individuals to focus on and be supported in their professional development and practice during the course of their careers.

You should apply against the Job description that you feel best reflects your strengths and expertise.  On appointment, assignment to the appropriate pathway and Job Description, will be based on the successful candidate’s experience and academic strengths.

The School of Civil Engineering and Built Environment is committed to promoting equality and diversity, including the Athena SWAN Gender Equality charter for promoting the career of Women in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) in higher education. We particularly welcome applications from women for this post and all appointments will be made on merit.

Please note all of our vacancies will be closed to applications at midnight on the advertised closing date, unless otherwise stated.
