Lecturer in Nutrition (Part-time)

Overview

Pepperdine University London seeks a part-time instructor and lecturer for an undergraduate module in nutrition at its London study center in South Kensington. The position involves teaching the module NUTR 210, which covers human nutrition principles across the life cycle, current health topics, and personal dietary analysis. This course fulfills a general education laboratory science requirement, meaning students are typically non-nutrition majors. The instructional schedule requires three hours of lecture and 1.75 hours of lab per week, ideally spread across two to three days from Monday to Thursday.

Requirements

Applicants must hold at least a Master degree in Nutrition, though a PhD in Nutrition is preferred. Postgraduate qualifications in related fields such as fitness, exercise physiology, kinesiology, cooking, culinary arts, or health do not satisfy the accreditation criteria. Candidates need to show prior teaching experience and effectiveness in the classroom, ideally backed by teaching evaluations, and experience working with American or international students is desirable. Additionally, applicants must hold the legal right to work in the United Kingdom.

What you get

The compensation for this part-time, fixed-term role ranges from 6,650 to 7,125 British pounds per annum, determined by education and experience.
