Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for the post of Assistant Teaching Professor (0.2 FTE) who will act as the Lead for Unit 4 of the PgDip in Healthcare Innovation on Patient and Population Health, as well as contributing across the whole MSt course in Healthcare Innovation. The role will be based at the Department of Engineering's Central Cambridge site.

The Healthcare Innovation Programme is a set of three successive part-time courses (PgCert/PgDip/MSt) designed to fit with the demands of full-time employment. The objective of the programme is to provide knowledge and understanding of the healthcare system and the technologies applicable to this sector, giving students the expertise and skills needed to innovate successfully in healthcare. The programme is delivered through a combination of face-to-face sessions in Cambridge, online sessions, and self-directed learning. The Assistant Teaching Professor will contribute across the whole MSt course, but the key element of the role will be Lead for Unit 4 in the PgDip year on Patient and Population health. This unit reflects on the role of the health care system and innovators in developing health improvement. Understanding of the social and contextual factors for successful public health interventions are at the core of the syllabus, as well as introducing tools for analysing epidemiological and biostatistics data.

Educated to PhD level, or with related equivalent experience, in topics related to healthcare engineering and patient and population health, the successful candidate will demonstrate a strong technical knowledge across a range of topics with specific expertise in patient and population health. You will have a proven track record in relationship management with experience of teaching delivery and/or the design of teaching materials.
