The Royal Agricultural University (RAU) has been at the forefront of agricultural education for 180 years and is globally renowned for its links with industry and courses that are designed to meet the demands of the changing land-based sector. As part of its academic portfolio, the RAU offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in Land & Property, including our RICS accredited BSc (Hons) Rural Land Management, BSc (Hons) Real Estate, MSc Rural Estate Management, and MSc Real Estate programmes.
The RAU is seeking an experienced Rural Surveyor to join our Land & Property Management team to teach on our Rural Land Management and Real Estate programmes. All our Lecturers are required to articulate subject material in a way that will enable students to demonstrate an understanding of the subject areas through contextualization and critical analysis of case studies and scenarios in the context of their subject area. A key aspect of the role will be to deliver high quality teaching to undergraduate and postgraduate students through lectures, tutorials, seminars, field excursions, and practical exercises, with a focus on innovative approaches to learning and teaching.
Bridging the gap between industry and academia is essential for our students, ensuring they are well-prepared for their future careers. We are therefore specifically seeking applicants that have relevant professional experience. Due to our taught programmes being RICS accredited, applicants must be a Chartered Surveyor with either MRICS, FRICS, or AssocRICS, or must meet the necessary criteria to become a member of RICS, enabling teaching to be practice-led and enriched with real-world examples. We encourage applications from individuals considering a part-time role who are currently working as Chartered Surveyors or have recently retired and wish to share their knowledge with the next generation of professionals.
This role reports to the Dean of Land and Property Management.
The RAU is set in beautiful surroundings and offers a range of Staff Benefits including a 35-hour working week (full-time), 30 days annual leave entitlement plus bank holidays (pro rata for part time posts), pension scheme, free and guaranteed parking on campus, discounted catering facilities, discounted onsite gym, free library services, employee assistance programme, occupational health and counselling services, cycle to work scheme, and staff development opportunities.
