This is an opportunity to join a dedicated group of academics in the Department of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, which runs a varied programme of research-led, accredited courses, complementing most aspects of the pharmaceutical industry, from drug discovery through to market authorisation. Your role will be to develop and deliver industrially focused education in pharmaceutical science, Chemistry and closely related areas. You will plan, deliver, and assess a range of modules at undergraduate and postgraduate level in the above and related areas, using a variety of approaches. This will include classroom and practical work in our modern, well-equipped laboratories. It is expected that you will establish an independent programme of research and/or enterprise activity, using the latest instrumentation (e.g. Avance NEO NMRs), supported by numerous faculty and University-led competitive funding schemes, for emerging researchers, including PhD studentships. You will play an active role in the work of the department outside the classroom - for example outreach, open days and personal tutoring.
The successful applicant will, therefore, have academic and preferably industrial experience in drug design, synthesis, and analysis. In addition to your undergraduate degree, you will hold a doctorate in a relevant Chemistry-related discipline. You will also be a flexible team worker, responsive to needs of the department. On a personal level, your core motivation will be to deliver exceptional teaching, research, and support to our students.
By the end of the probation period, you must have achieved the relevant level of UKPSF recognition (if this has not already been obtained). For those new to teaching, this will be through our accredited Introduction to Learning and Teaching and for those experienced in teaching, through our Kingston Academic Practice Standards Framework.
This is a full time, permanent position with a starting salary of £44,154 per annum.
Interviews are expected to take place on Friday 31 January 2025.
For informal enquiries, please contact Dr Baljit Thatti, Head of Department of Chemical & Pharmaceutical Sciences.
