Computer Science Academics: Higher Education Community of Practice specialist group

We are here to develop and support a community of practice for early and mid-career computer scientists engaged in education and research in UK Universities. We aim to have a group through which academics can share and learn from best educational practice within the sector.

Welcome to our group!

This group provides help and support for early and mid-career computer science academics who are employed in Computing/Computer Science Departments involved in the development of tertiary Higher Education.

We welcome members with a diverse range of experiences including:

Post Docs taking up their first academic appointment at the start of their academic career.
Post Docs who are helping out with teaching as part of their career development in preparation for applying for an academic position.
Established Academics (international) new to the UK HE sector.
Early career academics who have been in their permanent post for a few years.
Mid career academics whose career is moving towards academic management.
Those transitioning from FE or College into their first HE job.
Those transitioning from industry into their first HE job.
