We are seeking a forward thinking, contemporary, and innovative scholar to take on the role of Lecturer (Level B) or Senior Lecturer (Level C) in Forensic Science. The successful applicant will be expected to contribute to teaching within the School of Science in Forensic Science and related areas, and may have opportunities for relevant leadership roles in this area.
