Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Architecture

University of Gloucestershire - School of Arts, Culture & Environment

We are seeking a Lecturer (0.5FTE) and Senior Lecturer (1.0FTE) in Architecture to join our existing team.

The School of Arts, Culture and the Environment (SoACE) can trace its distinguished history back to 1852 when the Cheltenham School of Art was established. Today, as one of the three constituent Schools in the University of Gloucestershire, SoACE offers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses, as well as Postgraduate & PhD study. Subjects offered include, Humanities, Journalism, Film & TV, Art & Design, Performing Arts, Photography, and Architecture, Construction & Environment.

We are seeking enthusiastic and skilled academic / industry practitioners who can contribute to the teaching and learning on the MA & BA degrees in Architecture, as well as offering possible course leadership, here at the University of Gloucestershire. The successful applicants will contribute to both undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and specifically to the technical and theoretical contexts within their areas of expertise. Industry experience is highly valued by both the course team and the school and will directly support the learning of our current cohorts. The appointee will therefore have extensive and current experience of working as an Architect or as a senior lecturer / lecturer in Higher Education. Knowledge of employability, industry awareness, contemporary industry practices and current teaching pedagogy in architecture are central to the roles.

The Senior Lecturer position must be able to contribute to both undergraduate and postgraduate teaching as a Senior Lecturer, including the technical and theoretical contexts which define their areas of expertise, and as Professional Studies Advisor, and - acting as Academic Course Leader (ACL) - will have the opportunity to develop and lead a new Professional Experience “Year Out” course. It is essential that the appointee is hands-on and able to undertake practical design teaching in studio.
