Senior Lecturer in Computer Science

FACULTY OF SCIENCE, BUSINESS AND ENTERPRISE

BASE: EXTON PARK

We seek to appoint a Senior Lecturer in Computer Science to join our dynamic team of academics and help shape the future of our computing programmes. We are especially keen to hear from applicants with expertise in areas such as Machine Learning and Deep Learning, Generative AI, Data-Centric and Responsible AI, or AI for real-world applications (e.g., health, cybersecurity, robotics, or business analytics). Experience deploying AI systems in practice, or working with industry or public-sector partners, would be particularly welcome.

As a Senior Lecturer, you will bring your passion and experience to deliver high-quality teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. You will play a crucial role in keeping our curriculum at the cutting edge of AI and ensuring it meets the needs of employers and future technology leaders. You will also contribute to the broader academic work of the School of Computer and Engineering Sciences, including curriculum development, research, and knowledge exchange in computer science and AI. There are exciting opportunities to participate in interdisciplinary projects, outreach, and external engagement.

The ideal candidate will hold a relevant higher degree in a field such as Computer Science or a closely related discipline, have teaching experience, and be skilled in developing innovative learning experiences. If you do not already hold one, we will support you in working towards a Postgraduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education or Fellowship of Advance HE (FHEA).

We are looking for a collaborative, forward-thinking individual who is passionate about supporting students and confident in using modern teaching methods, including blended and online learning. If you are eager to make a difference in the lives of our students and to be part of an innovative and growing team at the University of Chester, we would love to hear from you.

We strongly encourage applications from women and individuals from diverse backgrounds as we strive to promote inclusivity in our department. All appointments will be made based on merit.
