About the role
We are looking for an innovative person with an enthusiasm for physics to join the Department of Physics as a permanent Lecturer (Teaching). The appointee will perform a variety of teaching and teaching related administrative tasks, including lecturing to undergraduate students at a range of levels, running academic and personal tutorials and problems classes, assisting in supervising students within the teaching laboratories (experimental and/or computing), and running undergraduate final year projects.

We are committed to improving the diversity of staff within the department, currently underrepresented groups are particularly encouraged to apply.
