The Faculty of Law, Crime and Justice is seeking to appoint to two roles as Lecturer / Senior Lecturer in Forensic Investigation to support the continued growth and delivery of our forensic provision.

You will play a key role in teaching on our Forensic Investigation programme, contributing to an excellent student experience through engaging and practice-informed delivery. We are particularly interested in candidates with expertise in areas such as forensic biology or DNA analysis, ideally with experience relevant to current forensic practice.

If appointed at Senior Lecturer level, you will contribute to the academic leadership and future direction of forensic investigation within the department, working collaboratively to strengthen and evolve our provision.

This is an exciting opportunity to shape the future of our forensic provision within a supportive and forward-thinking department. You will be joining a collegial team committed to student success, high-quality teaching, and academic excellence. We offer an environment where you can grow professionally through mentoring, personal development opportunities, and engagement with the wider Winchester community.

The University particularly welcomes applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds for this post as they are under-represented in jobs at this level.  Please be assured that all applicants will be treated equally during the selection process.
