Overview
Lecturer/Teaching Fellow in Applied Project Management, Liverpool John Moores University. The post will support teaching across undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in Construction Management and Project Management, with a focus on expanding the programme’s business, commercial, and cross‑industry dimensions of project management.
As part of a growth period in student numbers and in delivering outstanding learning, teaching, and research opportunities, LJMU is creating key academic positions that will shape the university’s next chapter.
What We’re Looking For
We are seeking to appoint a Lecturer or Teaching Fellow in Project Management, at Lecturer or Teaching Fellow level depending on experience. The role will extend the programme’s strengths beyond the construction sector and enhance professional practice within the curriculum through modern project management methodologies and technologies, with emphasis on leadership, organisational behaviour and people‑focused project delivery. The role will also support the development of online CPD provision aligned with credit‑bearing modules to widen access for professional learners.
Essential for this role is membership of a relevant professional body (e.g., Association for Project Management, Project Management Institute, or another recognised standards body in project management). We welcome applicants from a range of professional and academic backgrounds. A PhD is not essential if candidates can demonstrate substantial and relevant industry experience and strong understanding of contemporary project management practice. We particularly encourage those with experience applying project management principles within construction and broader business environments to bring real‑world insight to students.
What We Offer
This is a key moment to join a welcoming, ambitious, and research‑informed university community that places students at the heart of everything we do. LJMU values and invests in staff, offering opportunities for professional development, scholarship support, and clear internal promotion routes.
* A low contractual 35‑hour week
* Generous annual leave entitlement and Christmas period closure with option to purchase additional leave
* Excellent pension scheme
* Access to an Employee Assistance Programme
* Family friendly policies
* Car and travel loan schemes
We are investing in our staff and students by creating a busy, thriving campus environment across LJMU buildings. We value the contribution of staff to student success and the wider community. If you are inspired by joining a growing university and bringing your expertise to a community where you can make a difference, we would be pleased to hear from you.
