Senior Lecturer or Senior Teaching Fellow in Quantity Surveying

Please note that there is only one position available, and the successful candidate will be appointed either as a Senior Lecturer or a Senior Teaching Fellow based on their qualifications and experience.

The School of Civil Engineering and Built Environment at Liverpool John Moores University is now looking for an experienced individual to join us as Senior Lecturer or Senior Teaching Fellow in Quantity Surveying. You will deliver high-quality teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, with a strong emphasis on measurement/costing and contract administration competencies. You will be responsible for ensuring the curriculum remains current and industry-relevant by incorporating innovative teaching methods to engage and inspire students. Providing academic support and mentorship to foster an inclusive and supportive learning environment is essential.

For both positions you must demonstrate a strong background in quantity surveying and have a willingness to integrate cutting-edge digital technologies such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) and automated quantity take-off software like CostX. It is desired that you have an interest in the gamification of education and an openness to teach using immersive technologies to enhance student engagement. Developing and maintaining strong links with industry partners to ensure that course content reflects current industry practices and trends is crucial.

For the Senior Lecturer position, it is essential that you either hold or are nearing the completion of a PhD or possess substantial industry experience coupled with chartered membership of a recognised professional body (e.g., RICS). In this role, you will engage in research activities that enhances the School’s academic reputation, collaborating with colleagues on interdisciplinary projects and seeking opportunities for external funding.

For the Senior Teaching Fellow position, you must have relevant industry experience or teaching experience in higher education. Professional body membership is also desirable. In this position, you will engage in pedagogical research that will lead to innovative classroom methods and enhancing the overall learning experience. Additionally, you will be required to contribute to the development and delivery of programmes in the Degree Apprenticeship provision of the School.

Regardless of position, you should be dedicated to connecting theory with practice in the teaching of quantity surveying and committed to promoting equality and diversity within the School and University. A willingness to engage in outreach and engagement initiatives is also essential, ensuring that the educational experience remains enriching and supportive for all students. Additional administrative tasks will be necessary to ensure the smooth running of the School.

In return, we offer an excellent benefits package including generous annual leave entitlement, pension scheme, induction, and development support as well as family-friendly policies.

This is an exciting time to join the university as we deliver the LJMU Strategy 2030 and its vision of LJMU as an inclusive civic university transforming lives and futures, by placing students at the heart of everything we do.

If you feel that this is the role you have been looking for and your skills and experience can make a real difference at LJMU, we look forward to hearing from you.

LJMU values diversity and provides a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone can fulfil their potential.
