Lecturer (Teaching and Scholarship) - UOD2083

The School of Science and Engineering has an international reputation for excellent teaching and topical research, particularly in addressing global challenges in energy, the environment, health care, technology, forensic science and infrastructure.

With its awardwinning Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification (CAHID), and departments in engineering, computing, physics and mathematics, the School offers a portfolio of disciplines and curriculums and state of the art facilities which prepare and inform the scientists and engineers of tomorrow. The School is run by an enthusiastic, committed and approachable team of experts who are recognised for their teaching approaches. It is also one of the fastest growing schools within the University.

We are looking for a candidate with a track record of excellence in teaching and scholarship/knowledge exchange in gross anatomy with experience of teaching embryology and histology.

Your priorities will include:

• Carry out teaching and supervision at postgraduate and undergraduate level to a variety of students (medical, dental, anatomy, forensic anthropology, biomedical engineering, art) in relevant subjects (e.g. gross anatomy, histology, neuroanatomy, embryology, as appropriate), including contributing to curriculum design, enhancement of the student learning experience and scholarship
• Develop innovative approaches to teaching
• Devise and assess coursework and examinations for undergraduate and postgraduate classes and provide feedback to students
• Contribute to the Centre’s academic and pastoral support for undergraduate and postgraduate students

Who we’re looking for:

• PhD in anatomy or related subject
• Teaching or demonstrating experience at university (or equivalent) level (e.g. gross anatomy, neuroanatomy, histology, embryology)
• Experience of full body human cadaveric dissection
• Good understanding of anatomy legislation
• Clear evidence of excellence in learning and teaching, and innovation in teaching methods
• Willingness to engage with national and international student recruitment

We are one of the UK’s leading universities, internationally recognised for our expertise across a range of disciplines and research breakthroughs in multiple areas, including science, medicine and engineering, amongst many others. Our purpose is to transform lives, locally and globally, which we do as a community of staff (Professional Services and academic Schools), students and alumni. Professional Services directorates are key to delivering the University strategy and driving change across the University.
