School of Engineering, Lancaster University UK and Lancaster University College at Beijing Jiaotong University, China.

Lancaster University is seeking to appoint an International Lecturer to join our team at Lancaster University College at Beijing Jiaotong University.  The position is based in the School of Engineering at the UK Campus but with teaching assignments at the Weihai Campus in Shandong, China.

Our successful Joint Institute with highly ranked partner Beijing Jiaotong University (BJTU), opened in 2016 and has grown rapidly. There are now around 2000 students registered on Lancaster University programmes and further expansion is planned. Located at the eastern end of Shandong Province, Weihai is a major seaport and popular holiday destination due to its long coastline and abundant sandy beaches. Teachers on assignment are provided with apartment accommodation adjacent to the campus in Nanhai New District.

You should have a PhD in a relevant discipline, a track-record of delivering research outputs and experience of teaching in Higher Education.  You should be a committed and reflective educator with a desire to innovate and contribute to the collegial atmosphere of the campuses.  Enthusiasm to travel and work in China is essential. We are particularly interested in candidates who can deliver wide-ranging and excellent teaching in areas related to Electronic and Communications Engineering such as Broadband Networks, Network Systems and research skills more generally - at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. You will contribute to the intellectual life of the Joint Institute through excellence in teaching and research. Research interests should be aligned with the research groups in the School of Engineering.

Lancaster University ranks 141 out of more than 1000 Universities in the QS World University Rankings. The University is a charter member of Athena SWAN and has held a Bronze award since 2008, in recognition of good employment practice to address gender equality in higher education and research.
