The University of Central Lancashire has made a major investment in engineering research, teaching and knowledge transfer with industry through the development of a new Engineering Innovation Centre at the Preston campus.  This investment will exploit our location at the centre of one of the most important engineering/manufacturing areas in the UK and establish UCLan as a leading university for developing engineering innovation with industry.

We are seeking to appoint a Senior Lecturer in Quantity Surveying to support the School in delivering its commitments to teaching, research and income generation in the area of quantity surveying. The post holder will be responsible for the development, promotion, and operation of a postgraduate quantity-surveying degree including the recruitment, administration, and efficient running of the degree programme.
