We are welcoming applications from talented, ambitious and passionate individuals with a relevant postgraduate qualification such as MSc, MRes or MPhil to participate in an exciting new initiative focused on developing future leaders in the land-based sector.
This unique opportunity combines a part time PhD programme of your choice with a teaching position delivering undergraduate teaching on our international and UK programmes. The teaching activity could include modules in sustainable agriculture, equine, food business, environment and rural land management.
You will be supported to develop an ambitious transdisciplinary PhD research programme that builds on RAU collaborations with industry, civil society and government on a topic relevant to the RAU's research strategy. A part time PhD will normally take 6 years (maximum 8 years). During this period you will benefit from a 50% full time equivalent of a UKRI tax free stipend. You will also receive a 50% full time equivalent salary for the teaching fellow element of the programme. Teaching tasks will include undergraduate modules and dissertation supervision related to your disciplinary expertise. You will also be supported through your PGCAP and application for Fellowship of HEA.
After successful completion of the six-year PhD programme it is expected that you will be capable of securing an independent academic or industry leadership position either within the RAU or elsewhere. The PhD fees will be covered by the RAU whilst you remain in this position. If you choose to leave the position before completion of the PhD, the University will facilitate the self-funded completion of your PhD programme.
We are seeking talented individuals that have the potential for academic or industry leadership. This will include a track record of excellent academic performance at undergraduate and postgraduate level. You will possess the interpersonal skills of a future leader including excellent communication, team working skills and a performance delivery mindset. You will be ambitious for your future career within academia, industry or government. You will also be passionate about making a positive difference in both your teaching and research activities. This passion will reflect the significant global challenges and opportunities facing the land-based sector such as the climate change crisis, biodiversity loss, adoption of technology, and thriving rural economies.
The RAU is set in beautiful surroundings and offers a range of Staff Benefits including a 35-hour working week, a generous 30 days annual leave entitlement plus bank holidays (pro rata for part time posts), pension scheme, free and guaranteed parking on campus, and free shuttle bus from campus to Cirencester town centre, discounted catering facilities, discounted onsite gym, free library services, employee assistance programme, occupational health and counselling services, cycle to work scheme and staff development opportunities.
