We are committed to providing a transformational educational experience, supporting world-class research, and fostering a collaborative and supportive working environment for our staff. Recognised as one of the UK’s Top 250 employers (Financial Times & Statista), we pride ourselves on being a place where colleagues feel valued, supported, and able to grow their careers while contributing to the success of our students and communities. Our student demographic reflects the rich cultural and ethnic diversity of Birmingham itself, with a significant proportion of students from minoritised ethnic backgrounds and the majority of our home students coming from the West Midlands. This diversity is a strength, and it calls for a workforce that is equipped to challenge deficit narratives and thinking — those assumptions that position students from underrepresented groups as lacking rather than recognising their assets, strengths and potential. By embracing this perspective, we aim to create an environment where all students and colleagues can thrive, and where our work contributes positively to the social, cultural and economic life of Birmingham and beyond. Role Summary We are seeking a Lecturer in Applied Computing to join our team at the Birmingham Institute of Fashion and Creative Arts (BIFCA) in Wuhan, China. https://www.bcu.ac.uk/international/bifca.

Students completing their BIFCA programmes gain a dual award from BCU and WTU. With a series of innovative, technology-driven, and professionally oriented programmes, BIFCA represents the new era of quality-oriented, collaborative transnational education (TNE) that is responsive to the needs of all stakeholders. Students can choose to study their entire programme in China or complete part of it in China and finish at BCU. Our teaching commitment at BIFCA is expanding, and we are seeking a lecturer to contribute to this ongoing development. The position offers a unique opportunity to live and work in a popular part of China on a two-year fixed-term contract, with the option to renew after the two-year period is complete. PLEASE NOTE: This is a full-time role based in China. All teaching will be in English. Essential Requirements You will have a minimum of two years’ full-time teaching experience in higher education including preparing teaching materials and planning technical course activities. You will also possess core technical development experience, and demonstrate experience/expertise in at least one of the following areas: Software Development Front and Backend Web Development (HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, SQL) Game Development (Unity or Unreal) Virtual Production, Modelling and Animation Embedded Systems (Arduino, Pi, Linux) Please note that on occasions when we receive a high volume of applications, we may close the advert before the publicised closing date. If this does happen, we will email all candidates who have started but not yet completed their application, giving 48 hours’ notice. We would therefore advise that you submit your completed application as soon as possible. Further Information If you are excited by the opportunity to help shape the future of the School of Architecture, Built Environment, Computing and Engineering, we would love to hear from you. For an informal discussion about the role, please contact Prof. Junaid Arshad at junaid.arshad@bcu.ac.uk. Why work for us Work–life balance – Generous leave and hybrid working (role dependent).
