Our Mission

PeoplesFuture Ltd (a sister company of Coventry University) provides a sector leading, dedicated inclusive service to Coventry University Group students supporting their successful global education experience and graduate employment outcomes. Tailoring our service to each students’ individual needs and career aspirations, we are an integral part of the student journey that starts at enrolment and continues beyond graduation.

The School of Engineering is recognised for its high-quality and real-world teaching, state-of-the-art activity-led facilities and an approach guided and focused on the industry. We deliver and develop courses which foster a first-class educational experience while nurturing and producing industry-ready graduates.

The Role

As Lecturer (Teaching) in Aerospace, you will support students in developing the attributes, knowledge, and technical skills required to work in the emerging aerospace engineering and technology sectors. The aerospace industry is undergoing significant transformation, moving towards a Net Zero future through the design of ultra-efficient, zero-carbon aircraft technologies, enabled by cross-cutting innovations in systems, digital tools, and infrastructure.

You will undertake teaching and course coordination across HE Levels 4–7, delivering and supporting modules on our aerospace engineering and aerospace technology degrees. Teaching will span core engineering fundamentals and applied technical subjects, including computational and practical applications. Based within the College of Engineering, Environment and Science, you will work closely with academic colleagues to enrich the student experience, ensuring that relevant aspects of research, enterprise, sustainability, and professional practice are embedded within modules and courses.

Duties include:

•    Teach on modules and courses at HE Levels 4–7, including the curation, adaptation, and creation of module teaching materials. Deliver a range of learning and teaching sessions and support students through both formal and informal communication.

•    Undertake assessment, marking, and the provision of timely and constructive feedback. Liaise with academic support services and student coaches to ensure appropriate and coordinated student support.

•    Take on agreed course and module management responsibilities, including acting as a module leader where required and contributing to the development of supporting documentation and learning resources.

This is a teaching-focused role and would suit candidates from either academic or industrial backgrounds. We actively encourage applications from candidates who hold, or have experience of, one or more of the following:

•    Pilot or drone operator licences

•    Flight simulation or digital engineering tools

•    Relevant management or professional qualifications

Qualifications Required

•Master’s degree in an appropriate subject or Honours Degree with appropriate professional qualification/membership

•A teaching qualification or willingness to acquire one if not already held

•PhD or active membership of an appropriate professional body is advantageous

Our Successful Candidate

 
You will have experience of teaching Aerospace Engineering, Aerospace Technology, or a closely related discipline across HE Levels 4–7, with evidence of effective practice in teaching, learning, and assessment.

Enthusiastic and self-motivated, you will be willing to teach across the subject portfolio, particularly at Levels 4 and 5, and ideally have experience in the development and delivery of active and inclusive learning pedagogies.

We particularly welcome applications from candidates with experience in aircraft design, especially unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) design and build, which forms a core component of our Level 6 curriculum. Experience of operating or piloting these systems would be an advantage.
