Job description

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.

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.

School of Life Sciences, Pharmacy and Chemistry

Employability, practical skills and life skills – these are the three core areas of focus in the School of Life Sciences, Pharmacy and Chemistry at Kingston University. We live in a world where there is so much information out there about vital subjects such as cancer biology, pharmacy and sport and nutrition, but it is the real world application of these areas of study that really makes our school stand out. Join us and you will become part of a team of more than 100 academics, working across functions to provide a rich and diverse educational experience. You will be part of a group that instils the importance of critical thinking, leadership skills and the personal touch for our ambitious students.

We have invested heavily in the development of new facilities, with our laboratories providing access to ultra-modern equipment and teaching facilities in areas such as biochemistry, biotechnology, cell and molecular biology, immunology, microbiology, nutrition, pharmacology, sport science (including biomechanics and an environmental testing chamber), chemical synthesis and analysis, pharmaceutics, specialist labs for pharmacy practice, pharmaceutical science and chemistry, a forensic scene-of-crime house and a pharmacy dispensing simulation suite.

This is a full time, permanent position with a starting salary of £45,025 per annum.

Interviews are expected to be held on Thursday 12November 2026.

For informal enquiries, please contact Dr Gary Forster-Wilkins,Head of Department of Biomolecular Sciences & Associate Professor.
