University Teacher; Molecular Biology and Biotechnology

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a University Teacher to join the School of Biosciences and contribute to a highly multidisciplinary community of academics, researchers and teachers. You will support teaching across the School, with a primary focus on Molecular and Biotechnology provision, largely at postgraduate taught (PGT) level. With support from the School mentoring scheme, you will be responsible for coordinating and delivering lectures and practical classes, supporting student projects, and contributing to small-group teaching and tutorial provision.

In this role, you will work closely with module leads and programme teams to ensure the effective delivery, assessment and evaluation of taught modules. You will contribute to curriculum delivery by preparing high-quality teaching materials, leading elements of assessment design, supervising undergraduate and Masters-level research projects, and providing high-quality academic and pastoral support to students. The post also offers the opportunity to develop teaching practice within a supportive, research-led academic environment.

Applicants must have a PhD in a relevant subject (or equivalent experience) along with demonstrable excellence in teaching Molecular Biology and Biotechnology at postgraduate level. Experience designing and delivering laboratory-based teaching in biosciences is also essential.

We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
