Part-time Lecturer (23240542)
The Department invites applications for a Part-time Lecturer position to teach one undergraduate applied physics course. The lecturer is expected to deliver lectures, organise or deliver tutorials, and take care of other matters during the teaching of the course (e.g., designing and grading homeworks, quizzes, and examination papers, organising other forms of course works). Lecture materials are readily available from previous rounds of teaching but the lecturer is expected to further refine, revise, and develop the materials to suit his/her teaching style. The course involves electricity and magnetism, signal processing, electronics, and some programming. The course has 4 credits, which incurs four hours of lectures per week for 13 – 14 weeks. Applicants should have a doctoral degree in the physics, engineering, or relevant disciplines. Previous teaching experiences are highly desirable but not necessary. Knowledge in new technologies such as wireless communications, 5G, etc., will be a plus.
Appointment will be made on a contract basis, initially for one semester commencing in January 2025, renewable subject to performance, funding, and mutual agreement. The applicant should anticipate a net remuneration of roughly HKD 60,000 – 65,000.
Application Procedure:
Applicants are invited to submit their applications at the HKBU e-Recruitment System and send in full CV, copies of qualification documents and their teaching portfolios and recent teaching evaluation results for review. Those who are not invited for an interview 4 months after submission of application may consider their applications unsuccessful. All application materials will be disposed of after completion of the recruitment exercise.
