The Role

Based in the School of Pharmacy, you will be a highly motivated and enthusiastic pharmacist who will contribute to the delivery of teaching and our undergraduate work-based training for the Master of Pharmacy (MPharm) programme, including clinical skills teaching and clinical reasoning across our MPharm curriculum and potentially within taught postgraduate programmes.

The position will have a teaching and scholarship focus and will include a funded place on our Postgraduate Certificate in Medical Education course. The successful candidate will be supported to achieve Fellowship status of the Higher Education Academy.
