You will lead on co-delivery of already established Phase 1 units in CQMU (see full job summary form for detail) supported by UoL and CQMU colleagues.

You will have a real passion for the subject matter and be motivated to provide the very best experience for our students using your expertise and skill to ensure all reach their potential. We are looking for someone with a commitment to teaching excellence, diversity, and our university community.

You will have either a PhD (Basic Medical/Biological Sciences) or a medical degree with evidence of postgraduate scholarship. You will have substantial post-qualification teaching experience at a higher education institution or of working within a clinical discipline, with evidence of special interest in education and training. You will have experience in facilitating small group teaching, knowledge and understanding of the variety of assessment methods used in medical education and experience of developing technology-enhanced learning materials or web-based resources
