UHI Perth is one of Scotland’s leading Colleges of Further and Higher Education, and a large partner in Scotland’s newest University, the University of the Highlands and Islands.

We are seeking an Engineering Lecturer with experience of Electrical and Electronic Engineering as well Mechanical Engineering to join our growing team to support the delivery of our Engineering programmes.

Within your specialisation, you will be responsible for preparing materials for learning, teaching, and assessment, and for the teaching of theory and practical aspects. You will also be responsible for supervising student project work and contributing to the development of the UHI programmes in engineering. The post will also involve the development and delivery (including in-country) of our international programmes, including those we have in collaboration with a number of Chinese Universities.
