Summary
By joining the University of Central Lancashire, you’ll become part of a thriving community of talent that’s united by a shared vision – to transform the lives of our students and create prosperity and opportunity in the communities we serve. Every colleague has a vital role to play in helping us achieve this vision.
About the role:
The University of Central Lancashire and American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine have put together a new programme aimed at helping ease the global shortage of doctors. The two institutions linked up in 2017 when almost the entire contingent of the AUC School of Medicine re-located to the University while their base on the island of St Maarten was rebuilt following hurricane Irma.
Now, the University and the AUC have joined forces to offer a new blended programme, to enable students from the UK and across the world to study towards their accredited medical qualification, the Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree - the postgraduate degree of physicians in the United States. The University's School of Medicine will run the 2-year programme, which commenced in September 2019, providing students with a postgraduate diploma in International Medical Sciences (PGDip IMS) from our University, followed by their MD with AUC. Students will then be eligible to do clinical rotations at AUC’s clinical sites, which include hospitals in the US, the UK, and Canada.
About you:
As part of this exciting development, the University is seeking to appoint a Lecturer in Pharmacology. Working within a committed and enthusiastic team you will contribute to the course planning, teaching, and assessment as well as providing or supporting module leadership. You will hold an undergraduate degree (or equivalent) in Pharmacology, and will have a recent post graduate qualification/ training in a relevant area. You will have experience of higher education teaching in this subject area, enthusiasm for your subject and the ability to teach up to master’s level. A teaching qualification such as fellowship of the HEA is desirable as is recent evidence of publications and conference presentations.
The successful candidate will have a flexible & innovative approach to teaching and excellent presentation, communication and teamworking skills.
Informal enquiries are welcomed - please contact Dr Susan Jamieson, Programme Lead via email in the first instance.
