Tutorial Fellow - Cyber Security & Digital Forensics - 2 Posts

Lecturer, Cyber Security and Digital Forensics

Role Overview

This academic appointment combines classroom teaching, curriculum renewal and active research in cyber security and digital forensics, with the post-holder taking ownership of modules and practical sessions assigned by the Head of Department. The role exists to strengthen the department's teaching capacity while growing its research output, so the person appointed will move fluidly between lecturing, supervising students and pursuing funded investigative work. Success looks like students who are well prepared for industry practice, courses that stay current with a fast-moving technical field, and research that is published, presented and translated into consultancy or grant income.

• Design, plan and develop modules and programmes of study, including the creation of entirely new courses at different academic levels.
• Prepare and present high-quality lectures, seminars and practical sessions, ensuring students gain applied competence in cyber security and digital forensics tools and methods.
• Review course content and teaching materials on a scheduled basis, revising them to reflect emerging threats, technologies and industry expectations.
• Work alongside academic colleagues on curriculum revision, programme development and the joint pursuit of research activity.
• Conduct original research and prepare grant proposals to secure funding for that research.
• Identify and take part in consultancy engagements relevant to the discipline.
• Present research findings at national and international conferences and comparable professional forums, and disseminate research outputs through appropriate channels.
• Provide academic mentorship and career guidance to students and to junior staff, supporting a positive and inclusive learning environment.
• Carry out any additional duties assigned by supervisors or specified in the detailed job description for the post.
