Start Date: 1 September 2022
Fixed Term: 3 years
The School of Geography and Sustainable
Development is seeking to appoint an Associate
Lecturer (Education Focused) in Spatial Data Science. We invite applications from candidates with interests in Geography
and Sustainable Development, and enthusiasm for and experience of teaching Spatial
Data Science (including GIScience and Remote Sensing). You will contribute
to the School’s highly successful degree programmes in Geography and
Sustainable Development at St Andrews, with opportunities to interact with our
excellent research clusters.
Your role will focus on teaching GIS and remote
sensing and related IT labs. It will also involve engaging the interest and
motivation of students and inspiring them to learn by fostering debate and
developing their ability to engage in critical thinking. You will work as a member
of our teaching teams under the overall direction of the School’s Director of
Teaching. You will have excellent organisational and administrative skills, and
the ability to communicate complex information and ideas effectively. You will
be encouraged to seek ways to improve performance by reflecting on teaching
design and delivery, and by analysing feedback.
You will have completed, or be about to
complete, a PhD in Geography, Sustainable Development, GIS, Remote Sensing or a
related area, with a specialisation in spatial/geographical data science or
remote sensing. You should have knowledge of, and teaching experience in, GIS
and remote sensing techniques and software (see person specification) as well
as experience in programming with spatial data. Experience with a range of
teaching formats, including lectures, IT labs, tutorials, seminars, practical
and field classes as well as the supervision of group work would be an
advantage, as would experience of teaching within the Scottish university
system.
This is a full time position on a fixed term
contract, for a duration of 3 years.
