Lecturer in Computer Science (Teaching and Scholarship)

About the Role
We are looking to appoint two Lecturers in Computer Science to support the expansion of our Joint Programme/Joint Education Institution with Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT). You will join our dynamic Flying Faculty who travel business class to China typically six times per year (up to 2 weeks per trip) to carry out teaching and assessment. Your travel time is counted as part of your workload, and you will be given appropriate time off on your return for your wellbeing, which is in addition to your annual leave entitlement.

This post will be on a teaching only contract, therefore research activity will not be part of the expected duties.

About You
You should have a PhD in Electronic Engineering or Computer Science with demonstrable teaching experience in Higher Education at undergraduate or postgraduate level and the demonstrable ability to deliver teaching at both levels with some guidance in some of the following areas, but not exclusively: Advanced Network Programming, Cloud Computing, Operating Systems, Introduction to AI, Reasoning and agent, Database, Image & video processing and/or Digital Audio Fundamentals. You should be able to communicate new and complex information effectively, both verbally and in writing, engaging the interest and enthusiasm of the target audience. You should also have clear and ambitious plans for future scholarship activities.
