The successful candidate is likely to have completed a doctorate or be close to completion, but professional qualifications and senior professional experience will also be considered. You will be committed to excellence in teaching at all levels, with support to develop teaching skills being available for less experienced staff. You will have drive, an innovative approach to research, learning and teaching, and enjoy working collaboratively in a dynamic environment. Experience of delivering blended/distance learning and practical student-led learning would be advantageous.

 

You must be willing to undergo MoD security clearance, and act to retain that clearance.  Please be aware that the role involves teaching outside of the standard academic term time.

 

The positions are available immediately and the successful candidate should be available to commence employment as soon as possible. The university offers a relocation allowance to successful candidates, conditions apply. 

 

The University of Portsmouth achieved the highest ‘Gold’ rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF), the UK government’s first assessment of teaching excellence in higher education. Portsmouth Business School has a track record of sustained excellence in teaching and research as evidenced by the consistently very high student satisfaction scores in the National Student Survey, the excellent employability record of our graduates, and the results of the recent Research Excellence Framework (REF2014) submission. The breadth and depth of our research was viewed by the REF2014 panel as having an outstanding and very significant impact in economic, social and policy-making terms, placing us in the top 10% for impact; 87.5% of our research environment was rated as internationally excellent; and 62% of our research as world-leading or internationally excellent.
