Lecturer/Senior Lecturer: Architecture (Professional Studies) 0.5FTE

Our dynamic studio-based Architecture courses address in different ways the role of the contemporary Architect in relation to physical and social contexts and environments, as well as to the specificity of the architectural discipline in relation to other forms of spatial and creative practice.

This post will contribute to the future direction and curriculum of BA (Hons) Architecture (ARB Part I) and Master of Architecture (MArch, ARB Part II) and will have a key role in developing, leading and delivering innovative teaching in the area of Professional Studies.

The role involves working closely with the Architecture and Interior Design Programme Director and Architecture Course Leader, to lead and strengthen the provision of the Architecture Professional Studies and Practice curriculum as defined by the UK Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and prescribed by the UK Architectural Registration Board, while offering a global outlook on the architectural profession and establishing collaborative links with other disciplines and with the profession and industry.

We are seeking to appoint a versatile individual who brings practice and academic experience to the role with a strong understanding of the needs of the Architecture Professional Studies curriculum. The successful candidate will be educated to ARB/RIBA Part 3 level or international equivalent. In addition to the delivery of Architectural Professional Studies contents, you will oversee the Architecture courses’ PEDR scheme, and be the Course and Programme University’s liaison with the Architecture professional bodies.

We would particularly welcome applications from candidates with recognized standing in the field of architectural practice and/or education, as evidenced by a distinguished record.

You will be an advocate for responsible and inclusive practices with an ability to foster a climate of success through critical debate and co-creation of learning. You will be a champion for promoting diversity and equality in architecture, its practices and environments. You will be an inspiring and innovative professional and a supportive and inclusive teacher with an engaging pedagogical approach in both digital and on-campus teaching sessions. You will be able to demonstrate currency in your professional experience and/or research practice. You will be a strong team player able to demonstrate excellent skills in leadership and in team-working, organisation and management.

The appointment will be made at either Lecturer or Senior Lecturer level dependent on the successful candidate’s experience.

We welcome applications from those currently working in education as well as industry-based professionals whom we can support in the development of their academic career.
