Founded in 1884 Bangor University has a long tradition of academic excellence and a strong focus on the student experience. Our research has been ranked highly in the most recent Research Excellence Framework (REF2021), with 85% of output judged to be world-leading (4*) or internationally excellent (3*). Bangor’s research in its UoA3 submission is ranked 15th overall in the UK. The University has been consistently successful in the National Student Survey results and is regularly amongst the UK’s top 10 Universities for student satisfaction (excluding specialist institutions). As part of our commitment to the continued expansion of medical, pharmaceutical and health sciences at Bangor University, the North Wales Medical School seeks to appoint a Senior Lecturer/Reader in Epidemiology to help deliver its research and impact strategy. The successful candidate will develop exciting areas of new research in epidemiology, to enhance current initiatives in clinical trials, health economics, medicines-related research, or primary and community care. Available opportunities also include exploiting the unique opportunities presented by the linkage of routine data in Wales, and multidisciplinary research aligned with the One Health agenda. The postholder will contribute to the development, leadership and delivery of teaching within the newly formed North Wales Medical School undergraduate programme, with an average 0.2 FTE commitment for which the postholder will be responsible to the Dean of Medicine. The post-holder will also contribute to driving the success of other undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes, including formal taught modules, small study groups and co-ordination/delivery of Masters research projects as well as PhD supervision.

On appointment, the post-holder is expected to lead on the recruitment of a permanent Lecturer scientist post in Health Data Science to provide further support for the development of biomedical research and teaching programmes within the NWMS. Candidates will possess a PhD or equivalent, have an analytical background gained in a related discipline (e.g. epidemiology, statistics, mathematics, engineering, data science), will have extensive research experience (including high impact publications, grant income and collaborations), and be an experienced educator. The post is full-time and permanent, and the successful candidate will be expected to commence as soon as practical. Applications will also be considered to carry out this role on a part-time or job share basis. The post is subject to a satisfactory standard Disclosure & Barring Service check. The ability to communicate through the medium of Welsh is desirable for this role. If applicants are not able to speak / write in Welsh at present, there are many opportunities to learn if the successful candidate wishes to do so. This role will be located on campus at Bangor. Through our Dynamic Working framework, there will also be the option to spend some time working remotely (although remaining in the UK) to support work life balance, which will be discussed further with candidates at interview.
