You will join a successful, experienced and ambitious teaching team with a reputation for innovation in course design and delivery. The zoology programme is ideally positioned with mixed woodland, grassland and riverine habitats just a short walk from the campus, offering amazing outdoor teaching opportunities. We have a strong focus on practical and applied zoology as well as natural history and would welcome a team member who shares our passion for teaching these skills, within the unique Cumbrian landscape as well as the classroom. 

You will have the ability to demonstrate lecturing experience in Zoology at HE level and a strong interest in developing teaching at undergraduate level. We particularly welcome applications from those with experience in ecology, invertebrate zoology and/or practical field skills for zoology.  

You will be required to contribute to the academic team through delivery of core zoology modules across Programmes and year groups and take responsibility for leading the day-to-day management of the BSc (Hons) Zoology programme. You will also be expected to actively engage with discipline and/or pedagogical research and scholarship to support teaching activities and extend, transform and apply knowledge acquired from scholarship and research to teaching.

As well as the requisite academic and technical skills, you will have the ability to work as part of a team demonstrating skills in project and time management and a passion for teaching and learning. Self-motivated individuals would particularly suit this post. We are seeking innovative, creative, high quality researchers, and scholars to foster a culture of exploration, discovery and intellectual challenge that generates international recognition, respect and engagement.
