The Role
The School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape (APL) at Newcastle University is seeking to appoint a Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Architecture: Ethical Design, Construction and Practice, on a teaching and research contract.

Newcastle University is part of the UK’s Russell Group of leading research-intensive universities. Architecture in Newcastle celebrated its centenary in 2022 and is currently ranked in the world’s top 100 architecture schools by QS. The successful applicant will contribute to the research profile of Architecture by publishing in internationally recognised journals, demonstrating research impact, and securing external research funding. Additionally, they will develop and deliver teaching and design studios in programmes accredited by the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), ensuring an outstanding learning experience for our students.

We welcome applicants with expertise and skills in ethical design, construction and practice, who are interested in exploring, enhancing and critiquing architecture, and can contribute to teaching and research in areas such as material assemblies, climate and ecologies, environmental design, ethics and life safety, and professional collaborations. We invite applications that demonstrate excellence in connecting the latest research and practice with teaching, including design studio, and hope our appointee may take a leadership role in the School in due course.

The School has a dynamic research programme, ranked 4th in our unit of assessment in the UK for Research Power in the 2021 REF, offering opportunities to engage in School research groups (Our Research) and in cross-Faculty multidisciplinary centres called NU Centres of Research Excellence. The Hub for Biotechnology in the Built Environment (HBBE), the Design Office design research consultancy (featured in AJ’s 40 under 40) and an award-winning student live-build programme support an active culture of material, creative practice and design research, alongside strengths in architectural humanities. We host the largest doctoral design community in the UK outside London. Our well-equipped dedicated APL workshop offers resources from a robot arm to material testing chambers, a synthetic biology lab, digital knit facilities, clay 3D printing and digital routing, alongside regular digital, woodwork, ceramics and metalwork equipment. Our long-established programmes provide research-informed professional education in Architecture, Planning and Urban Design, and Landscape; and interdisciplinary education offers in Architecture and Urban Planning, and in Geography and Urban Planning.
