Senior Lecturer in Architecture

Lincoln School of Architecture and the Built Environment

Architecture at the University of Lincoln is transforming to become more research-intensive, and alongside this we are modernising the curriculum and the way we deliver our programmes. We are now looking to appoint a number of additional research-active Senior Lecturers in Architecture to support moving this exciting agenda forwards.

The Lincoln School of Architecture and the Built Environment is one of five in the College of Arts and is growing and changing to reflect its rich historical setting, wider rural environment, and global connectedness. We deliver programmes in architecture, construction, interior architecture and design, and design for event, exhibition and performance. Research in the School is focused in three defined areas; Sustainable Built Environments, Construction Science, Technology, and Management, and Conservation, History and Heritage. Our interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research staff work both qualitatively and quantitatively in these areas. We also have colleagues who carry out professional and contractual work in various relevant areas.

The appointee will have a teaching and research background, and a demonstrable reputation in one of our three areas of research. Applicants will be required to provide evidence of relevant teaching or professional experience, and evidence of a track record of relevant research outputs of a quality that meet the requirements of being returnable in the REF. They will have a history of producing research publications, a track record in grant capture, and a demonstrable capacity to work collaboratively with others. The successful candidate will be an excellent communicator and a supportive colleague who maintains, enhances and improves the University’s national and international research reputation.

The candidate will have the knowledge, skills, and experience in the following areas:

• Ability to work in both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes and willingness to work across programmes in the School.
• Supporting student skills development in both digital and analogue forms.
• Implementing transformative teaching methods which respond to students needs and the requirements of the curriculum
• Ability to work with theoretical models (such as design thinking) to provide clarity and support in the delivery of studio modules.

More specifically, candidates need to be able to work in one or more of the following areas,

• Focusing on low impact and sustainable design in studio teaching.
• Working with the principles of heritage and adaptive reuse in the design studio
• Enabling technology informed and supported, design studio (BIM etc).
