Job description

The Department of Informatics is looking to recruit a Lecturer in Computer Science Education (Academic Education Pathway).

This is an exciting time to join us as we continue to grow our department and realise our vision of a diverse, inclusive and innovative department of Informatics at one of the most prestigious universities in the UK. We seek applicants who will support us in our ambitions for inclusivity and diversity.

As we continue to grow and strengthen our department, we are seeking to appoint a lecturer in Computer Science Education on the Academic Education Pathway (AEP), starting in Spring 2024 or shortly thereafter. The Academic Education Pathway offers a framework for recognition, reward, and advancement opportunities for exceptional educators at King’s. The academic profile of AEP staff is distinct from that of Education & Research (E&R) staff. AEP academics are appointed on the evidence of their track record as outstanding teachers, and their potential for and/or experience of high-quality scholarship and contribution to educational innovation and leadership. The AEP framework, which consists of 4 levels: lecturer, senior lecturer, reader and professor, enables ambitious individuals to progress to professorial level, similarly to staff on E&R pathway.

We offer undergraduate and postgraduate education (in both computer science and artificial intelligence), catering for the needs of our students and the industries in which they will work. It is essential that applicants have the enthusiasm and commitment needed to ensure the success of these programmes.

In-line with the Faculty Education Innovation Framework, the successful applicant will identify and lead initiatives, carrying out and evaluating activity to strengthen teaching on existing programmes and new strategically relevant developments. The Departmental and Faculty Education Networks will provide a focal point for this activity, alongside our existing cross-cutting hubs in other discipline areas.

Applicants must have a PhD in computer science or a related field. The successful applicants will be part of the Department of Informatics and will be expected to contribute to its wider activities and development. Engagement in research related to computer science education and in improving research-led teaching on taught programmes is strongly encouraged.

This post will be offered on an indefinite contract

This is a full-time post - 100% full time equivalent

Key responsibilities

Make significant contributions to the teaching, examining and project supervision of students in the Department of Informatics.

Undertake a self-directed programme of research and scholarship in computer science education at a level commensurate with current international standard.

Establish and disseminate innovative teaching practice in the department.

Contribute fully and conscientiously to administrative tasks in the department.

Undertake any other reasonable duties that may be requested by the Head of Department.

Actively promote and participate in equality, diversity and collegiality.
- The above list of responsibilities may not be exhaustive, and the post holder will be required to undertake such tasks and responsibilities as may reasonably be expected within the scope and grading of the post._
