The joint programme is a highly regarded and successful programme based in Nanchang, China that started in 2013. Teaching and assessments are delivered in person in Nanchang, China as QM staff travel out to Nanchang for multiple teaching and assessment visits across the academic year. However, staff are based within the School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences at Mile End when not on a teaching visit in China.
About You
We are looking to recruit highly collegiate individuals to join an interactive interdisciplinary team working together to support and encourage student learning and development. You will have a passion for your chosen academic disciplines but should also have the appropriate subject knowledge and ability to teach and integrate knowledge across the range of subjects on the Biomedical Sciences undergraduate curriculum.
Underpinning our teaching is the development of critical thinking skills in our students to enable our qualified graduates to be well versed in evidence-based medicine in later practice and research.
