It’s an important time to join London South Bank University (LSBU) Group. With the launch of our new LSBU Group Strategy, Connecting, we’re shaping the future of tertiary education for a global, technology-driven economy – rooted in London. Professional and technical education has been central to LSBU Group’s mission since our founding in 1892. Today, as London’s first integrated tertiary education group, we continue to lead the way on learner‑centred, skills‑focused education.
The School of Computer Science and Digital Technologies are recruiting two Lecturers on a teaching and research (T&R) contract. You will teach on our undergraduate and postgraduate computing courses and run your own research programme. We are looking for someone who will strengthen the current research themes or establish a new area. We are particularly interested in expanding in core computer science topics, Green and sustainable computing (including energy‑aware systems, efficient machine learning, the carbon cost of computation, sustainable infrastructure), or Computer science applied to games (including real‑time graphics, simulation, accessibility).
Our curriculum covers programming and software engineering, data and databases, networks and cyber security, and AI and machine learning. You will design and deliver lectures, tutorials and practical sessions across our undergraduate and postgraduate computing provision, set and mark assessment, give feedback students can act on, and act as a personal tutor. You will work as part of a team, with a real say in how modules develop and how they are taught. We're looking for someone who is passionate about teaching, strives for excellence, and is dedicated to making a positive impact on learners' lives.
What You Will Bring

- Have peer-reviewed publications at a standard that meets REF requirements.
- Have higher education teaching experience, and the ability to design, deliver and assess modules at more than one level.
