About the role

This is an exciting new lecturer role to work across Leicester Medical School (LMS) and Chongqing Medical University (CQMU). You will develop, implement, deliver and evaluate elements of teaching and assessment relating to the MBChB and BSc in Clinical Sciences.

We are looking for an enthusiastic educator, capable of inspiring interest, curiosity and drive for learning in our students. This post provides the opportunity for those wanting to develop academic excellence and to contribute to research-led teaching in a transnational setting. You will deliver excellent student support and pursue innovation and enhancement in student learning and experience with a view to ensuring outstanding student satisfaction.

The BSc is a new degree based largely on our Phase 1 (pre-clinical) medical curriculum over the first two years, and completed with bespoke clinically orientated units and a dissertation project in Year 3, all in association with our Chongqing Medical University (CQMU) partners as part of a Joint Educational Programme (JEP). 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.

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
