THE UNIVERSITY OF EAST LONDON

Founded in 1898, we at the University of East London (UEL) are proud to change lives through education. Our goal is to advance industry 5.0 careers-first education and provide a clear path to the jobs and opportunities of the future. We’re committed to driving diversity in the 5.0 talent pipeline, working in partnership to promote talent wherever it is found and creating a balanced, inclusive, and green future.

But we can't achieve this goal alone. We need forward-thinking, innovative, and curious individuals like you to join our community and help us craft our future. As part of our team, you'll have the opportunity to work with a diverse range of people who share your passion for creating positive change. We’re an inclusive and welcoming community that is constantly moving forward, never satisfied with the status quo.

The University of East London is one of the most diverse and vibrant universities in the global capital. Our pioneering and forward-thinking vision is making a positive and significant impact on the communities we serve, inspiring both our staff and students to reach their full potential.

Based at our Stratford campus, the School of Health, Sport and Bioscience brings together UEL’s innovative research and teaching. We have a successful and expanding portfolio of taught undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.

We are seeking to appoint a part-time (0.4 FTE) academic staff member to join our dynamic team in the Department of Bioscience on a fixed-term contract up until 30thJune 2028. The post holder will contribute to the delivery of teaching on our BSc (Hons) and MSc Biomedical Science programmes, with a particular focus on Microbiology, Academic Skills in Biomedical Sciences, and the supervision of undergraduate and postgraduate research projects.

You will hold a good honours degree and a Master’s degree in Biomedical Sciences or a related discipline such as Microbiology, along with relevant teaching and laboratory experience in biomedical settings. Experience in teaching and/or supervising students in higher education, as well as a strong commitment to enhancing the student experience, is essential. A PhD (or equivalent qualification) in a biomedical science discipline is desirable but not essential.

If you are currently working in a biomedical science laboratory in clinical or research settings and are seeking an opportunity to transition into academia, gain teaching experience in a university environment, or explore a secondment to support your academic career development, this role offers an excellent opportunity. It is also suitable for individuals seeking a part-time teaching position who are unable to commit to full-time academic work due to personal or professional commitments.

Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Dr Mukhlesur Rahman, Subject Area Lead in the Department of Bioscience for any queries or informal discussion about this appointment,
