Job description

About The Team

SRUC is unique in Scotland and one of the largest organisations of its kind in Europe. Our ambitious and exciting vision is to work at local, national and international levels, leading innovation and sustainable development in agriculture and rural sectors.

SRUC has a long record of delivery of education programmes within Rural Business Management and Agriculture. Programmes have always been developed in partnership with industry and have attracted students from across Scotland, the UK, and internationally. Current global challenges mean that the importance for education, evidence-led research and consultancy has never been greater. SRUC is uniquely placed to support the industry in meeting these challenges and equipping graduates with enhanced knowledge, skills and practices related to objective setting, use of technology, data handling, communications and business skills, and resource use efficiency. Current programmes of education include HND and BA(Hons) across the subject areas of Rural Business Management, but also masters teaching in Ecological Economics, Food Security and Environmental Protection and Management.

The Opportunity

We are looking for two Lecturers in Business Management, to join a team that will support the design of a new suite of Masters-level courses in Business Management. We are looking for individuals with a track record in delivery of business management related courses, with ideally expertise in developing courses to Masters standard. These two posts will be responsible for the development and delivery of materials, as part of a small, dedicated team, for a set of Masters modules that make up MSc programmes in International Business, Business Consultancy, International Agribusiness and Project Management.

The ability to design and deliver courses online as well as on-campus for students at all levels would be welcome, to reflect our growing portfolio of distance and international teaching. A commitment to excellence in classroom and online teaching, as well as novel approaches to teaching business is required.
