The School of Computer Science is looking to
recruit a lecturer as part of a large on-going expansion of our academic staff
and to support our evolving approach to digital teaching. We wish to appoint a
lecturer (either Education track, or Education and Research track) to join our
vibrant teaching and research community, which is ranked among the top venues
for Computer Science education and research worldwide.
The School develops deep science and technology
across the discipline of computer science, which informs and underpins our
teaching at undergraduate, masters, and doctoral levels.
We are expanding our teaching programmes to
include digital modes of delivery to allow us to teach a broader range of
students than would ever be able to physically move to St Andrews for the
duration of a traditional programme. The is an exciting departure that lets us
take the School’s reputation for teaching excellence to an extended audience,
including individuals seeking to upskill within employment, those seeking a
career change, and those with other constraints on their time and location. In
the first instance this will involve the development of an entirely new
digital-only MSc programme in data science.
We are seeking dynamic, collegial individuals
who value teaching and research excellence to support the expansion and
development of our strengths in data and computational science centred around
our Artificial Intelligence and Systems research groups. The right candidate
will be able to contribute to research and teaching in an appropriate area –
including, but not limited to, computational science, data analytics, machine
learning for data interpretation, scientific visualisation – as well as being
involved in the development and delivery of “born-digital” teaching resources
and assessment methods sitting alongside more traditional approaches and
materials.
You should hold a PhD in a cognate discipline.
Excellent teaching skills and an interest in promoting knowledge exchange are
essential. You should also have some
familiarity with grant seeking processes in relation to research councils and
other sources.
