We are seeking to appoint an individual to help expand our Pharmacology team and contribute to the ongoing development of our portfolio of courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate level within the Department of Clinical, Pharmaceutical, and Biological Sciences.
The Pharmacology team is an integral part of the School of Life and Medical Sciences, and we teach across several important programmes including the BSc (Hons) Pharmacology degree, the MPharm degree, as well as contributing to several other undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. We are active in research, consultancy, and training and we were a valuable contributor towards our School’s successful 2021 REF submission. Our BSc Pharmacology degree is a popular degree within our School and is amongst the top NSS scoring degrees in this category (100% overall satisfaction, NSS 2022).
We are specifically looking to appoint an individual with an interest and expertise in neuroscience who will join our department at an exciting time for us. We have recently been awarded the opportunity to open a Medical School in collaboration with St Georges Medical School, University of London and we are also in the process of developing an MSc in Neuroscience. The successful appointee would play a key role in the development of both these new initiatives in addition to developing teaching material on existing programmes. We are keen to appoint a motivated and proactive individual with an enthusiastic approach to teaching and a strong focus on maximising the student experience and graduate outcomes. If shortlisted for interview, we would be looking for candidates to demonstrate how their experience would translate into teaching excellence and enhanced employment opportunities for our graduates.
