The Peninsula Medical School is seeking an outstanding permanent 1FTE Lecturer in Biomedical Sciences to expand our existing team
Based in the Faculty of Health, the Peninsula Medical School aims to attract highly motivated and talented students to become the next generation of future-ready doctors, physician associates and radiographers, who are well prepared for a 21st Century career.

Our research – underpinned by significant grant capture – is translational, generates impact and serves our Peninsula population as well as having global impact.
A key strength is a close relationship with NHS partners, with early clinical contact for all students.
