Teaching Fellow

We are seeking a part time teaching fellow to cover Operational Research, Logistics and Supply Chain Management teaching duties comprising of tutorials, lab-based sessions, project supervision, invigilation and potentially lectures. The teaching cover is necessary to allow academic members of an externally funded research grant awarded by the Lloyd’s Register Foundation to conduct activities on that grant.

The grant covers teaching replacement activities up to £5,000 per year, with the position being available for the period of the grant, which runs until August 2029

Most of the teaching cover will be at Master’s level, although a small amount may be at undergraduate level. The principal course to be supported is the MSc in Logistics and Supply Chain Management, so applicants should have a post-graduate level qualification in Logistics, Supply Chain Management or applied Operational Research. Experience in delivering taught material at University level would be an advantage, as would knowledge of relevant computer packages such as Evolver, Excel and Simul8.

The working pattern for this post is 3.7 hours per week.

The interviews are currently anticipated to be held on Tuesday 17 March 2026.

This appointment is a fixed-term contract for 12 months.

For internal candidates it may be possible to apply for this role under the Secondment Policy . If you wish to apply as a secondee, you must have approval of your line manager in advance of submitting your application form. Please confirm in your application that your line manager has approved this.
