Location: Primarily teaching in London, UK
Position: Academic / Teaching
Markfield Institute of Higher Education is seeking a scholar and educator to join our faculty in London. You will deliver higher education modules focusing on educational theory, practice, and philosophy within Muslim contexts.
Our Mission: To provide outstanding education and advance knowledge on Islam and its application in the contemporary world, produce world-class scholarship, and foster ethical leaders who apply moral principles to modern challenges and offer critical and creative thinking to benefit the community and society.
Our Vision: To be a globally recognised higher education institution, specialising in Islam and its application in the contemporary world, delivering the highest-quality research, teaching, and student experience.
We specialise in Islamic economics and finance, Islamic studies, Islamic education, Islam and sustainable development and Muslim chaplaincy. We are committed to promoting excellence in teaching, research and training through creating the best learner-centred environment for all our students and provide a rounded quality education that maximises learners’ career opportunities.
Students benefit by obtaining recognised higher education qualifications and learn to develop their scholarship so that they become pivotal leaders in their communities and society. The academic programmes are designed to train students in learning to learn through developing advanced academic and independent learning skills. Students are provided not only subject expertise but a range of academic skills that help in grounding views on sound knowledge, analysing issues critically and in a balanced manner, and enabling them to apply knowledge and contribute creatively and positively to the economic and social development of society. We believe that such scholars would be better equipped to act as a bridge in developing understanding between Muslim communities and the Western societies they live in, and make positive contributions to addressing current and emerging challenges of contemporary societies.
How to find us
To get to MIHE by public transport from Loughborough, Nottingham, Birmingham, Derby and further afield you will need to go by train/bus to Leicester and then take a local bus as detailed below. By road MIHE is situated approximately two miles from junction 22 of the M1. When leaving the M1 take the A50 heading towards Leicester and follow signs for Markfield Conference Centre.
To get to MIHE from Leicester you will need to take the Leicester to Coalville Arriva bus number 29A or 29X from St Margaret’s Bus Station, Leicester. The nearest stop to MIHE is the Field Head Hotel on the main A50. From there you will have to walk for about 15 minutes down Launde Road which leads onto Ratby Lane and you will find MIHE on the left. The buses run every half hour and the journey takes approximately 30 minutes. Please check for more details and timetables at www.arrivabus.co.uk
There is also the 125 Midland Classic Service which also goes from Leicester to Coalville on a different route. This bus will drop you off right opposite the entrance to Markfield Institute but only runs a few times a day. Find a timetable here. If you have any questions or queries, please call their Customer Service Centre on 0116 305 0002.
