Thinking about a change from industry?

If you're an experienced industry professional who enjoys mentoring colleagues, are a SME in your technical area, and want to explore teaching as a career option, this could be your next step.

At Manchester Metropolitan University, you'll have the opportunity to shape the next generation of IT professionals, by bringing your real-world experience into a modern, industry-focused learning environment.

We are keen to engage with you if you specialise in Cyber Security and are looking to join us as Lecturer or Senior Lecturer for a part time or full-time career.

Why Make the Move to Education?

Make a real impact – help students and apprentices launch successful careers in tech
Stay hands-on with modern development – teach current tools, frameworks, and practices
Better work-life balance – a more sustainable pace than many industry roles, in addition to a generous holiday entitlement of 35 days plus bank holidays and a Christmas break, coupled with a competitive pension scheme.
Share your expertise – turn your experience into meaningful teaching and mentoring
Structured pathways to progression from Lecturer to Professor through our Education, Pedagogy, and Citizenship (EPC) pathway.
Support to transition – we'll help you develop as an educator, even if you've never taught before

As a Lecturer or Senior Lecturer:

You'll design and deliver engaging, practical teaching across Levels 3–7 (foundation to postgraduate), including our highly regarded degree apprenticeships.

This isn't purely theoretical teaching—you'll:

Teach modern practices in your tech areas (e.g. Ethical Hacking, Malware Analysis & Reverse Engineering, InfoSec, Cryptography, Secure Coding, Threat Intelligence)
Work with apprentices employed in industry, bringing real-world challenges into the classroom
Design hands-on projects and coding-based learning experiences
Help students build the skills employers actually need

About You

We're looking for experienced computing professionals who are passionate about developing others, to join the Department of Computing and Mathematics.

You'll bring:

An interest in mentoring, coaching, or teaching others
A desire to share your knowledge and support student success
The ability to communicate complex technical ideas clearly
Significant industry experience is welcome or a PhD in Computer Science (or related field) is equally valued
If you are an expert in Cyber Security, you may be currently working as a Security Analyst, Penetration Tester / Ethical Hacker, Cybersecurity Engineer, Security Architect or Mentor.
Strong experience in addressing real world cyber security challenges.
