Lecturer (Teaching, Fixed Term) (CF7580)

Outstanding applicants are sought for the post of Lecturer (Teaching) in the Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Bath, UK. This fixed-term is to provide inspirational teaching cover for staff on maternity leave. The Department has been ranked third of all UK Chemical Engineering departments in recent years (Complete University Guide) partly due to the high satisfaction that undergraduate students have expressed of their experience, including via the National Student Survey. The Lecturer will be expected to contribute to that success. 

You will have undergraduate and PhD degrees in Chemical Engineering, Biochemical Engineering or Environmental Engineering. You will have strong enthusiasm for, and some recent experience of, teaching a modern Chemical Engineering undergraduate syllabus, and be able to teach all fundamental aspects of chemical engineering including process and product design.  Ideally you will have knowledge of sustainable chemical engineering practices. You will be expected to teach at all undergraduate levels as well as postgraduate level. This will include personal tutorials, classroom lectures and problem classes, and design project supervisions. There may also be involved in laboratory classes and carry out visits to students on industrial placement.

You will work in a progressive and successful academic environment, and will benefit from the highly collaborative and well-organised Department and Faculty system. This is supported by effective professional development programmes at Bath for staff including The Bath Course in Enhancing Academic Practice. A very positive mentor system in the Department will provide further career support. The lifestyle advantages of working and living in one of the most beautiful and accessible areas in the UK are an added attraction.
