The Department of Computing, Business Computing & Games is looking for an enthusiastic and committed individual who can contribute to our teaching and related activities in support our MEng/MSc/BEng/BSc Computing provision.
You should be a highly motivated individual, able to contribute teaching on these programmes. A willingness and ability to teach on a range of Computing “core” modules would be expected. Additionally, the successful applicant will also be expected to contribute to one or more specific teaching areas, and these are Games Art, Games Programming, Computer Networks, Databases, Web Technology & Security. Other areas include Computer Systems Engineering, Embedded Systems and Software Engineering. You should have a relevant UK degree* in Computing, Business Computing or Games (from the University of Northampton).
As well as making a full contribution to the teaching of computing and related activities across the undergraduate and possibly postgraduate levels, you may be expected to contribute to other areas of activity in the School of Science & Technology.
This post will maintain a teaching commitment as required by the Subject Leader - Computing and Dean of Faculty, including preparation and delivery of teaching materials as appropriate, preparation and assessment of coursework produced by students and preparation and marking of examinations.
The successful candidate will be registered for a PhD (or MSc/MEng) with the Faculty.
*Please note: You must be a recent graduate of the University of Northampton BSc Computing (Conditional on graduating ≤ 6 years, attained 1 or 2:1) or a current University of Northampton BSc Computing (Conditional on attaining 1 or 2:1 in May/June 2017). Additionally, for the Games GTA role, applicants with a Games specific UK bachelor’s degree will be considered.
The University of Northampton’s focus on a personalised learning experience for our students was recently cited by HEFCE as a reason for our Gold award in the Teaching Excellence Framework 2017. To augment this approach further we have adopted an ‘Active Blended Learning’ (ABL) approach which places greater emphasis on student-centred activities that support the development of subject knowledge, understanding, independent learning and digital fluency. Successful candidates for academic posts at the University of Northampton will be expected to adopt ABL as standard in their teaching practice.
This is an exciting time to join our University as we prepare to relocate in September 2018 to a new purpose-built, town-centre campus designed to adapt to 21st century teaching and the ABL model. We are looking to recruit individuals who share our passion for innovation, creativity and social impact and who will play a key role as we realise our ambition of transforming lives for the better and inspiring positive change.
The University of Northampton is one of only two Ashoka U Changemaker Campuses in the UK, and in 2017 was awarded the Social Enterprise Gold Mark, an independent guarantee that we have proven to our employees, students and stakeholders that we are committed to continuous improvement across our business in order to consistently deliver a positive impact on people and planet.
All candidates will be asked to provide proof of eligibility to work in the UK at interview. Due to the requirements laid out by UK Visas and Immigration regarding Right to Work in the UK, the University can only accept applications from individuals who currently have a status allowing them to work in the UK for this position. Due to this criteria we regret that we are unable to offer sponsorship at this time.
