Ulster University occasionally requires hourly paid University Lecturers to support teaching and learning activity. Each Faculty maintains a register of individuals who are qualified to deliver hourly paid teaching in various subject areas. The application form linked below should be completed by individuals wishing to join the Register for a Faculty.
The criteria for inclusion on the Register are as follows.
Essential Criteria
· A first- or second-class honours degree or a higher degree in a discipline relevant to the teaching;
· Experience of teaching and assessment at tertiary level;
· Experience of giving student feedback at a tertiary level or in a professional or training context.
Desirable Criteria
· A teaching qualification.
· Evidence of examining at tertiary level
· A PhD completed or nearing completion in a relevant subject area
· Evidence of significant work-based experience in a relevant professional or training area.
· Professional practice experience.
In addition, the applicant must have a formal letter of commendation from a senior member of academic staff (the Head of School) indicating how the applicant will contribute to the teaching and learning activity within a particular School.
Full-time employees of the University are not eligible to join the Register of Hourly Paid University Lecturers.
Please note
Hourly Paid University Lecturers are classified as ‘casual workers’ rather than ‘salaried employees’ and do not form part of the University’s core workforce. Inclusion on the Faculty Register does not in any way obligate the University to offer work to you.
