Aim
The School of Computing and Communications are committed to research and teaching excellence, and strongly believe in the virtuous synergies between the two. In memory of our former colleagues Alan Parkes and Doug Shepherd, who both made very substantial positive contributions to the collegiate culture, student experience, and research environment we enjoy, we are creating two early career fellowships to support up and coming academics who wish to build their career here.
You will be committed to making a positive contribution to society through the advancement of knowledge and learning in Computing and Communications. The fellowships are intended for those in an early stage of their academic career who are able to demonstrate their potential both in terms of directed vision, and capability for research, but also have a passion for contributing to learning, scholarly activity and engagement.
We will prioritise fellows whose interests are complementary to one of our strategic priorities, which include:
- Inter-disciplinary research institutes in Security, Data Science and Social Futures;
- Digital Health and our £42m health innovation campus;
- Improving teaching pedagogy, HEFCE Institute of Code, and Computing at Schools;
- Widening participation and gender inclusion in Computing;
- And complementary to traditional Lancaster strengths (Networking and Communications, Software Engineering, Distributed Systems, Human Computer Interaction, Data Science, Cyber Security, Ubiquitous Computing/IoT).
Number of fellowships available
There will be up to 2 fellowships in total, based in the School of Computing and Communications.
Duration and nature of appointment
These fellowships are for 3 years and it is intended that they will equip an early career researcher to develop a strong disciplinary and interdisciplinary research programme, build their confidence and capability for inspiring teaching in order to become a lecturer at Lancaster within the school. Subject to satisfactory performance, these posts will transition into an indefinite Lectureship, which will be assessed during the final year.
Teaching and effective communication and engagement is an essential part of being an academic. Teaching will be expected in order to provide the basis for a full academic career, but this will be limited to 25%, 50%, 75% of normal lectureship loads over the three years to allow for staff development, training and a focus on engagement. Major administrative or managerial responsibilities will not be assigned.
Access to start up research funds may be available from within the relevant centre, depending on need, and the Fellow will be mentored towards gaining grant support. Fellows will be expected to return high quality research outputs to REF 2021.
Grade of appointment
You will be appointed on the grade appropriate to experience. Normally a Fellow appointed from or shortly after their PhD will be appointed on grade 6, whereas those with additional postdoctoral experience may be appointed at grade 7.
Available from
Subject to negotiation, normally aligned to the start of an academic term (October, January).
These posts are open to early career individuals of the highest potential who have begun to establish a reputation for highest quality research and teaching at the forefront of their discipline, who have a commitment to working across disciplines to address major problems and to learning and teaching at university level.
Application and selection process
You should submit an application form, a brief research and teaching vision summary (500 words each) and a resume CV (up to 3 pages. Your application should indicate the thematic area of interest where linkages to our interests for both research and teaching should be made.
Potential candidates are strongly encouraged to contact the head of School, Professor Adrian Friday – email [email protected]
We welcome applications from people in all diversity groups.
