The forensic course, which comprises both current and former practitioners, has a number of state of the art pieces of analytical equipment (ffTA, GCMS, FTIR etc), together with a crime scene house, archaeological searching equipment (GPR etc), human bone collection, and body fluid searching equipment such as Crimelite auto etc. 

The successful individual will join a small but successful team that is looking to develop and expand the forensic courses available at the university.

If this is an area that interests you but you are committed to your present role within the forensic industry, there are also opportunities for session/associate level lectures who only teach when they are free and when they are required/needed by the course.
