The lecturer will teach fundamental courses in structural mechanics, primarily in the BSc program Civil Engineering. For this position we are looking for an experienced candidate with profound knowledge of structural mechanics principles in the civil engineering domain. We expect an inspiring lecturer, who will develop attractive educational programs to address the current and future needs in the field.

An important responsibility is the development and teaching of one or more BSc/MSc courses and (co-) supervision of BSc/MSc students, project teams and design projects. New developments in the structural mechanics field should be continuously implemented. We also expect that the new lecturer takes a leading role in developing different forms of education (online, blended, but also digital assessment tools etc.) where appropriate.

The lecturer position focusses on education. A small portion of the position’s responsibilities is devoted to management activities such as participation in department and faculty committees.

For this position we seek a colleague who has the dedication to pursue an educational career in academia. You hold an MSc, preferable a PhD with profound expertise in structural mechanics. You have a passion for transferring your knowledge to students and have experience in teaching large groups of students. Of course you have strong didactical skills and a strong vision on education.

We expect you to be at the forefront of pedagogical renewals and implementation of new, digital forms of knowledge transfer and assessment. You are enjoying collaboration with close colleagues within the group as well as with adjacent disciplines. Since the BSc-courses are taught in Dutch, you have both Dutch and English proficiency skills. You preferably have an academic teaching certificate (or are willing to obtain one).

You enjoy working in (multi-disciplinary) teams, including coordination of student-assistants, in a cooperative, active and social environment. You possess good organizational and communication skills. You are, through your personality, able to cooperate effectively with peers, students and stakeholders.

Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, a discount on health insurance and sport memberships, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.

For international applicants we offer the Coming to Delft Service and Partner Career Advice to assist you with your relocation. An International Children's Centre offers childcare and there is an international primary school.
Inspiring, excellent education is our central aim. We expect you to obtain a University Teaching Qualification (UTQ) within three years if you have less than five years of teaching experience. This is provided by the TU Delft UTQ programme.

TU Delft sets high standards for the English competency of the teaching staff. The TU Delft offers training to improve English competency. If you do not speak Dutch, we offer courses to learn the Dutch language.
