The Centre for Forensic Science in the Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry wishes to appoint a Teaching Associate to contribute to our well-established MSc programme in Forensic Science.
The Centre for Forensic Science in the Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry wishes to appoint a Teaching Associate to contribute to our well-established MSc programme in Forensic Science, starting on 01 Aug 2024. The University is currently ranked No. 1 in the U.K. for Forensic Science (Complete University Guide), the programme is accredited by the Chartered Society of Forensic Science and attracts a diverse cohort of students (approx. 60-70 % from overseas) each academic year. The main purpose of this role is to assist in the delivery of teaching, learning and assessment activities, as part of a teaching team. This will include the creation and delivery of lectures/tutorials/workshops as well as practical laboratory classes focussed in the general area of forensic biology/science. Education enhancement will be expected as the candidate progresses and should be led by relevant pedagogical practice and scholarship activities. There will also be a requirement to design, create and lead on a range of MSc practical projects each year (currently 8-10 students).
The Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry at the University of Strathclyde is a vibrant and ambitious Department with a strong international reputation for excellence in research and teaching and a growing knowledge exchange portfolio, and this includes hosting a centre of excellence in Forensic Science, (in addition to centres of excellence in Molecular Nanometrology, and Process Analytics & Control Technology, as well as being a key contributor to the University’s Centre for Continuous Manufacturing and Crystallisation).
Candidates will have a good honours degree in Forensic Science, or an associated discipline, and preferably with a postgraduate qualification in Forensic Science, or equivalent professional experience. Candidates should also demonstrate the institutional values of being ambitious, bold, innovative, collaborative and people oriented and, by joining a socially progressive institution should embed equity, inclusivity, and diversity at the heart of their practice, to ensure a student-centred approach to all activities.
Informal enquiries about the post can be directed to Dr Penny Haddrill, (penny.haddrill@strath.ac.uk), Director of CFS.
Formal interviews for this post will be held on 22/04/2024.
