Position Overview & Specifications
The School of Applied Sciences is seeking to appoint a Lecturer in Crime Scene Investigation for a fixed term period of three years, who can successfully coordinate and deliver modules to undergraduate students from Foundation year to Masters level in crime scene investigation, crime scene management and evidence analysis.
The successful candidate would ideally have experience of professional practice in the above fields and be able to bring current field/scene-based practices involving ISO standards and standard operational procedures to the classroom.
