This post will be based at the University of Lincoln’s Maritime Studies Centre at Britannia Royal Naval College in Dartmouth, Devon.

The University of Lincoln is the Higher Education partner in the Team Fisher consortium which is tasked with delivering and modernising Royal Navy training and education through ‘Project Selborne’. A key part of the University’s role is to deliver education in core academic disciplines, both arts and sciences, to Royal Navy officers undergoing training at Britannia Royal Naval College (BRNC). These subjects are delivered within the professional pathway for Royal Navy officers and, in many cases, lead to the award of Level 5 and Level 6 degree qualifications.

As a Lecturer in Seapower, you will be based at BRNC Dartmouth as part of the Maritime Studies Centre staff in a teaching, scholarly and professional practice (TSPP) position. Your role will be to undertake lecturing in subjects relating to maritime strategy, naval history, contemporary security and international affairs, as well as making relevant connections across all taught disciplines. The role will include a number of key enabling aspects including Personal Tutoring, academic outreach activities, marking and assessment, and Continuous Professional Development including research outputs and pedagogical innovation. For Lecturer candidates, scholarly practice and associated research will be a priority. For Senior Lecturer candidates, there will be a requirement for academic leadership and management including Programme and Module leadership, development and modernisation.

We are looking for a motivated, innovative, and collaborative expert in maritime and naval affairs who is able to work effectively as part of a multi-disciplinary team and who is committed to the delivery and modernisation of Royal Navy Officer education. While this is not a formal research post, the Maritime Studies Centre places a high value on published work and the role will allow time for producing research which supports the goals of the Centre.

You will have a relevant honours degree, aMastersDegree or equivalentand / or, ideally, a PhD in a related discipline. A Post-graduate qualification or equivalent in Higher Education or Teaching and Learning is desirable and if not possessed you will be supported in achieving Higher Education Association (HEA) status.
