Lecturer/ Senior Lecturer in Rural Land Management (Full Time, Permanent)

Harper Adams University’s Land and Property Management team continue to see an increased student demand and is hoping to find new Lecturer/Senior Lecturer with the drive and enthusiasm to make a difference for the next generation in the land-based sector. Most of our students are working towards an exciting career as a rural practice, chartered surveyor or other areas of rural land management, at a time when we are dealing with a complex world of competing land use demands.

We are therefore looking to recruit a new member of the team who would be able to contribute to the delivery of teaching and learning in the area of, but not limited to, land and property law, covering: general estate management law; landlord and tenant across residential, business and agricultural tenancies; the different legal and third-party interests which may exist in land and the processes by which an interest in land may be acquired; planning and property development law; environmental law; and more broadly the legal perspectives around the establishing, managing and running a business aligning to the work of the Harper Adams Business School.  Applications will also be considered from those with broader sector experience and knowledge in land and property management, particularly agricultural systems and management of the natural environment in a time of significant policy change within which the land-based sector must now operate.

This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and motivated individual with ambition to work with and inspire the next generation and become an integral part of this successful academic team. Relevant professional experience is as valuable as academic experience, so if you have considered a career in teaching and learning, but not yet acted on that, now might be the perfect time to join us. We can support you through your teaching qualification as you play a key role in the delivery of a variety of modules for apprenticeship, undergraduate and postgraduate students. If you already have academic experience and want to expand your experience in rural land and property management, this opportunity could provide you with the opportunity to develop your own knowledge exchange, research and academic interests at a time when rural land and property management and land-based decision making is rapidly evolving.
