The Role

We are seeking an enthusiastic Lecturer in Pathobiology to join the Department of Biomolecular Sciences. You will contribute to the educational activities including delivery of undergraduate (Level 3 to Level 6) and postgraduate degrees in Biomedical Science and other bioscience disciplines. In this role, you will plan, develop, and deliver high-quality, inclusive and innovative teaching and assessments in collaboration with academics within the team. You will undertake module leadership, contributing to curriculum development and quality enhancement. You will also be expected to contribute to the evidence-base of research in the subject discipline. The role will require some administrative responsibilities, supervision of undergraduate and/or postgraduate research projects, and personal tutorship of students.

The Person

You will have a first degree in Biomedical Science or a related bioscience subject, with a PhD in a bioscience discipline. Expertise in areas including pathobiology, cancer biology, cell and tissue biology, cytopathology, histology and microscopic tissue interpretation is desirable. Teaching experience is desirable, and relevant postdoctoral experience would be an advantage, but we would also welcome strong applications from individuals with professional experience.

You will use your teaching and research experience to promote practical knowledge to students that they will take with them in their future studies and career. You will be committed to inclusive, active and research-informed learning, engaging students from diverse educational backgrounds and supporting them to achieve their potential. Constantly seeking to improve, you will scrutinise your own work and work collaboratively to enhance the Faculty and School’s reputation in higher education and occupational circles. Students at Kingston University come from a broad range of backgrounds and educational experiences and the person undertaking this position will play a key role in allowing such students to realise their potential.

Applicants will be required to demonstrate that they meet the Kingston University standards in learning and teaching, and research. For those new to teaching, there will be the opportunity to engage with our accredited Introduction to Learning and Teaching course.

We would like the individual to contribute to teaching topics across Biomedical Science, including cell biology, pathobiology, cancer biology, tissue biology and histology, epidemiology and cytopathology for example. We would welcome passionate educators who can equip students with real-world skills and contribute to Kingston University’s vision to remain firmly at the forefront of embedding future skills in the curriculum to prepare graduates for career success. You will contribute to the personal tutor scheme, offering pastoral support to students and helping them develop their academic and professional skills.
