Lecturer in Crime Scene Investigation

The School of Applied Sciences is seeking to appoint a Lecturer in Crime Scene Investigation for a fixed term period of three years, who can successfully coordinate and deliver modules to undergraduate students from Foundation year to Masters level in crime scene investigation, crime scene management and evidence analysis.

The successful candidate would ideally have experience of professional practice in the above fields and be able to bring current field/scene-based practices involving ISO standards and standard operational procedures to the classroom. Whilst the role will focus largely on scene-based tuition using simulation of volume and major/complex crime scenes to facilitate learning, there will be a need for the successful candidate to also teach on various laboratory-based modules that involve the examination of crime scene evidence.

Joining the biological and forensic sciences team, the role would involve teaching and assessment, module leadership duties, engagement in quality review and enhancement processes and ensuring that professional body requirements are met.

By joining a team of highly enthusiastic staff, the role holder would be part of a team leading the education and training of our students in this popular area who are seeking to enter the world of work as forensic scientists or within roles in the criminal justice system.

We offer a number of excellent employee benefits including a generous pension scheme, 35 days’ annual leave (plus bank holidays), a staff support scheme, cycle to work scheme and annual increments (to the top of the grade). Discover the advantages of working with us
