About this job
As a lecturer in Project Logistics (0.4FTE), you will guide students in their development. You will also be involved in developing the curriculum within the Academy for Built Environment & Logistics (ABEL) at Breda University of Applied Sciences (BUas). You are familiar with the latest developments in logistics, leisure and events, as well as the challenges facing the industry and its companies. You can use this knowledge to provide inspiring education for our students, playing an important role in the further development of our Project Logistics study pathway. In addition, you will supervise students during their work placements or graduation projects and encourage students to consider the options available to them during their studies and after graduation.
In our educational vision, collaborative learning takes centre stage. Rather than traditional lectures, we prioritise continuous interaction with students – and whenever possible, with industry partners as well. Our students work on different types of challenges in small-scale learning communities. As a lecturer, you will play a key role in connecting these challenges, students, industry, and professional practice to create meaningful learning experiences. You are not expected to have all the answers, but to guide students in discovering them. In this role, you will also be learning something new every day.
At BUas, we operate on a team-based working principle where responsibilities and authority are assigned to the teams within the academy. This approach leaves plenty of room for your own input and for you to help shape the future of education. Are you ready to create meaningful experiences?
