Environmental scientist with twelve years in UK higher education, working on carbon and water fluxes in upland catchments. Holds £1.2m in current grant income, convenes three modules for 420 students, and has supervised nine PhD students to completion.

Experience

Senior Lecturer in Environmental Science, Calderwell University · September 2019 – present

School of Environmental Sciences. Leads a group of three postdoctoral researchers and five doctoral students.

  • Convenes three modules for 420 students across all three undergraduate years, including the second-year residential field course in mid Wales.
  • Holds £1.2m of current grant income across four awards, including a £780k NERC standard grant on peatland carbon flux.
  • Rebuilt the second-year statistics module around live data from the group field sensors; module evaluation rose from 3.4 to 4.5 of 5 and resits halved.
  • Supervised nine doctoral students to completion, seven within four years, and chairs the faculty postgraduate research committee.
  • Chairs the school Athena Swan self-assessment team; the share of women on shortlists for academic posts rose from 22% to 41% over three rounds.

Lecturer in Environmental Science, Calderwell University · September 2014 – August 2019

  • Designed and launched the MSc in Catchment Science, which recruited 28 students at first intake and has run at capacity every year since.
  • Won a £310k fellowship to build the river-monitoring network that now feeds three modules and two doctoral projects.
  • Raised first-year field skills pass rates from 79% to 94% by replacing the end-of-course report with weekly assessed field notebooks.
  • Organised the annual catchment science summer school, 60 places a year, funded by three industry partners.

Postdoctoral Research Associate, Ardenfield University · October 2011 – August 2014

  • Modelled peatland carbon release under repeated drought for a four-country consortium; the resulting paper has been cited 340 times.
  • Taught 120 hours a year of undergraduate GIS practicals and trained 14 research students in flux tower calibration.

Why this University Lecturer résumé works

  • The three measures an academic hiring panel reads first are in the summary: £1.2m in current grant income, three modules convened for 420 students, and nine PhD students supervised to completion.
  • Grants are named and sized, including a £780k NERC standard grant on peatland carbon flux, so a panel can judge research income without asking for a separate funding list.
  • Publications are cut to four selected from 34, each with an authorship role or citation count, which keeps the CV to two pages for a teaching-and-research post.
  • Teaching is evidenced with numbers too: module evaluation from 3.4 to 4.5 of 5, the MSc in Catchment Science recruiting 28 at first intake, and Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy status.

University Lecturer résumé: common questions

How long should an academic CV be in the UK?

For a lecturer application, two to three pages with a selected publications list is common, with a full list available on request. Read the person specification and order the sections to match it.

What should a university lecturer CV include?

Teaching (modules convened, student numbers, evaluation), research (grant income with funder and amount, selected publications), supervision completions, academic service, and teaching fellowships such as FHEA or SFHEA.

Should a lecturer CV list every publication?

Not for most applications. List four to six selected outputs with your authorship role and state the total, for example “selected from 34”. Choose outputs that fit the post and the research group.
