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.

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.
