Job Description
About Us
The King’s community is dedicated to the service of society. King’s Strategic Vision 2029 sets out our vision for the future, shaped around five priority areas: educate to inspire and improve; research to inform and innovate; serve to shape and transform; a civic university at the heart of London; and an international community that services the world. Our ambitious Education Strategy sets out the actions that we must take to transform how we teach, how and where our students learn and how we support them during their time with us.
Interdisciplinary Education is a new and growing team at King’s which is responsible for the development and launch of new strategic initiatives that will transform students’ experience of King’s within the framework of the University’s Strategy. Among these is King’s First Year, a module that enables students to develop critical perspectives and skill-sets that optimise their learning at King’s and beyond.
Interdisciplinary Education is a cross-King’s initiative which brings together academics from across our faculties with a central team within the Students and Education Directorate. SED is a collection of wide-ranging professional services in place to support King’s students and their education. As a directorate we manage the student lifecycle from application to graduation and beyond, to ensure a coherent and seamless student experience and effective administrative processes, working closely with King’s faculties to do so.
About the Role
The Lecturer in Educational Development: Interdisciplinary Education will lead our support for beginning and experienced tutors who are becoming interdisciplinary educators. Working closely with a researcher, the Lecturer in Educational Development will design and deliver a range of professional development support that builds expertise across a growing community of practice in interdisciplinary education. The postholder will help to sustain tutors’ interest in scholarship relating to teaching, and enjoyment of inclusive and interdisciplinary teaching.

This is a full-time post, but we welcome applications from candidates seeking a flexible work pattern within our necessary service operating hours.
