Founded in 1902, IOE has been shaping policy and helping government, organisations and individuals navigate a changing society for the last 120 years. We embrace collaboration and excellence to create a future that is inclusive and just, and have been ranked number one for education every year since 2014 in the QS World University Rankings by Subject.

The Department of Education, Practice and Society (EPS) is a thriving multidisciplinary department at the UCL Institute of Education. It encompasses: (i) the domain areas of History, Philosophy and Sociology of Education; (ii) the fields of Comparative, International development, Further, Higher and Lifelong Education; and a number of research centres.

About the role

We are looking to appoint a Lecturer in Engineering and Education to teach on the MSc Engineering Education. Core duties will include acting as a Module Leader for either one of the extant modules or a new module. The postholder will contribute to teaching sessions of other modules and you will be supervising module assignments and dissertations. The successful candidate will generate ideas to contribute to the development of both the Centre for Engineering Education (CEE) and the Post 14 Centre for Education and Work’s funded research portfolios. We are therefore interested in applications from engineers who have a Social Science PhD or social scientists with a track record of researching aspects of Lifelong Learning (LLL).
