School of Computer Science Salary: £42,149 - £51,799 per annum * Start Date: August 2022

The School of Computer Science is looking to recruit new academics as part of a large on-going expansion of our academic staff. We wish to appoint two new Lecturers/Senior Lecturers/Readers (depending on experience) to join our vibrant teaching and research community that is ranked amongst the top venues for Computer Science education and research worldwide.  

 

The School develops deep science and technology across the range of computer science, which informs and underpins our teaching at undergraduate, masters, and doctoral levels.  

 

We are seeking dynamic, collegial individuals who value teaching and research, to support the expansion and development of the HCI group. Applications welcome from all areas of HCI from candidates with diverse research portfolios that complement existing work in HCI, Design and Computer Science. Particular areas of interest include but are not limited to: tangible computing, ubiquitous computing, information visualization, visual analytics, human-centered artificial intelligence, CSCW, augmented reality, novel interactive software and hardware, and HCI for good.    

 

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.  

 

*Appointment at Grade 8 Senior Lecturer/Reader level (salary range: £53,348-£60,022) will be considered for candidates with more experience/knowledge of the area with the job description to be amended accordingly.  

 

Informal enquiries can be directed to Professor Ian Miguel (hos-cs@st-andrews.ac.uk) or Dr Loraine Clarke (lec24@st-andrews.ac.uk).  

 

The roles may be offered on either a full-time or part-time basis, and flexible working may be available to suit the right candidate.    

 

Applications are particularly welcome from females who would be joining our multicultural School which includes staff and students from across the world. Female students comprise over 25% of the BSc and 35% of the MSc cohorts, while 25% of our academic staff are women.

 

Applications are particularly welcome from people from the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) community, and other protected characteristics who are under-represented in academic posts at the University.    

 

Equality, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of the St Andrews experience.  We strive to create a fair and inclusive culture demonstrated through our commitment to diversity awards (Athena Swan, Carer Positive, LGBT Charter, Race Charters and Stonewall). We celebrate diversity by promoting profiles of BAME, LGBTIQ+ staff and supporting networks including the Staff BAME Network; Staff with Disabilities Network; Staff LGBTIQ+ Network; and the Staff Parents & Carers Network.  Full details available online: https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/hr/edi/.
