As a Lecturer in Medicinal Chemistry, you will contribute both to the Clinical Sciences BSc and the MPharm programmes. You should bring in research-led teaching expertise in chemistry with a focus on medicinal chemistry drug development. You will be an enthusiastic teacher, with an academic background appropriate to research-informed medical sciences education and the ability and passion to teach from foundation level up to masters level. Areas of teaching include, but not limited to, chemistry, medicinal chemistry, cell biology and pharmacology of gastrointestinal and endocrine systems at all undergraduate levels. You will work with colleagues to ensure excellent delivery of learning, teaching, assessment and student support.  

Although you are not required to deliver research in this role, your scholarship interests could be aligned with one of the Faculty of Life Sciences Research Themes: Life course (from cells to systems); Health, Society and place; the interface between chemistry biology and materials; computation and big data science. You will also have the opportunity to engage with colleagues in our flagship research institutes at the School of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences; the Institute of Cancer Therapeutics and the Centre for Pharmaceutical Engineering. 

The post holder will join a truly innovative School of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences, with a fully integrated and award-winning Pharmacy degree programme delivered using Team-based Learning in addition to a nationally recognised Clinical Sciences degree programme which attracts students from a widening participation background. Therefore you will have a commitment to our widening participation agenda to enable all students to achieve their potential. 

The post holder will have the opportunity to supervise undergraduate and postgraduate students undertaking project work and to participate in development activities in the School.
