The Peninsula Medical School (PMS) is a young successful and growing medical school and is part of the Faculty of Health within the University of Plymouth. Within its Brain Tumour Research centre of excellence, which has had its funding renewed for another 5 years, we are looking for an experienced lecturer to join the centre.
Based in the Faculty of Health, the Peninsula Medical School is committed to three core aims: outstanding clinical education; strong social engagement; and world-class research which all feature strongly in the student learning experience. A key strength is a close relationship with NHS partners, with early clinical contact for all students. The South West offers healthcare and learning opportunities of exceptional quality; Derriford is one of Europe’s largest hospitals and the only trauma centre in Devon and Cornwall. A further strength is our scholarly approach to education, supported by the Division of Education Scholarship. The Plymouth Institute of Health and Care Research is the core of research activity, providing a thriving community that conducts adventurous world-leading research with the explicit purpose of improving the health and care of the populations we serve.
We are seeking for talented and highly motivated applicants with relevant track records. You must have a PhD, postdoctoral experience with a publication tack record and some experience in supervising graduate students. The Brain Tumour Research centre of excellence focusses on low grade tumours and currently hosts three groups and roughly 25 researchers including PhD students. The charity Brain Tumour Research will provide consumable support. You will be based in the state-of-the-art Derriford research facility. Mentorship by a Senior Researcher and support are an integral part of the post.
Although the position is predominantly research-focussed, you will also be expected to contribute to teaching activities within the medical school up to a maximum 30% teaching activity. These activities will include delivering interactive human physiology sessions, Student-Selected Unit and academic tutoring.
