Are you passionate about forensic science and eager to inspire the next generation of experts? We’re looking for a highly professional, enthusiastic and committed individual to join our academic team, bringing a strong focus on Forensic Bioscience.

You’ll ideally hold a postgraduate qualification in Forensic Bioscience or a related scientific discipline, or be able to demonstrate equivalent expertise through research and knowledge creation along with experience in teaching (or delivery of professional training) and research within Forensic Bioscience. We also welcome applications from experienced and suitably qualified forensic practitioners with a desire to apply their knowledge and training in an academic environment.

In this role, you’ll play a key part in delivery and administration of our Foundation, BSc Forensic Science, and MSc Forensic Bioscience programmes, as well as contributing to other relevant undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
