For Harper Adams to be a premier provider of higher education for the land-based industries, it is essential to have expertise to underpin our provision within this sector. We are therefore looking to appoint a new member of the Land and Property Management team, to teach into our undergraduate, postgraduate, and apprentice programmes, as well as to help identify, develop and deliver new streams of work in collaboration with colleagues and industry partners. This appointment represents an opportunity to support our industry-leading teaching and research in land and property management. We are currently particularly interested in those with experience in rural property and real estate or in farming and managing the natural environment.
Rural Property and Real Estate: All our land and property management students study the UK planning system, building construction, surveying techniques etc. in the context of rural development, anything from agricultural buildings through to housing developments and major infrastructure projects. Our new Rural Property and Real Estate students will have a greater focus on property and development learning more about the built environment, property management, development appraisal etc. Anyone who has advised clients on the development potential of their land, dealt with property development and management or similar would be able to bring their knowledge and experience into the classroom.
Farming and Management of the Natural Environment: Agriculture and farming is at the heart of all land use decision making in the rural world. Employers consistently feedback that they want graduates that have a good understanding of agriculture and farming systems. This understanding underpins the advice that land and property managers provide, whether that be rent reviews, planning applications, compensation, valuation or the environment and the changing policy environment within which agriculture must now operate.
The successful candidate will have a good range of experience in land and property management, with particular expertise in rural property and real estate or farming and managing the natural environment. It is essential that you have an undergraduate degree in a relevant topic, but relevant professional experience is what will enable you to bring real world examples into the classroom. Whilst academic experience would be desirable it is not essential and if you are not currently an academic, there would be an opportunity to obtain an appropriate teaching qualification once in post.
Please apply online submitting your full CV (to include two referee details) and a supporting statement, which clearly highlights how your skills and experience match the requirements of the role via the Harper Adams e-Recruitment programme at http://jobs.harper-adams.ac.uk by no later than midnight on 6 May 2025. Interviews will be held w/c 19 May 2025.
