About us

------------


UCL is one of the world's top universities. At its establishment in 1826, UCL was radical and responsive to the needs of society, and this ethos continues today. UCL's excellence extends across all academic disciplines; including one of Europe's largest and most productive hubs for biomedical science interacting with several leading London hospitals and a track record of translating medical innovations.



The UCL Division of Surgery and Interventional Science (DSIS) is a collaborative and cross-disciplinary environment where clinicians, engineers, scientists and allied health professionals are constantly striving for innovative approaches to treatment to enhance patient benefit. As a world leader in medical and biomedical research we are able to see at first-hand the directions in which medicine and science are moving and where patient and industry needs are growing. This ensures that we are producing and teaching some of the most innovative courses for clinicians and scientists across the world, including the BSc/MSci in Medical Innovation and Enterprise.

About the role

------------------


We are seeking a Lecturer (Teaching) within the Division of Surgery and Interventional Science, primarily based at the Royal Free Campus, to provide cover during a period of parental leave. The post-holder will play a key role in delivering high-quality teaching to undergraduate and postgraduate students, with a particular focus on the BSc/MSci in Medical Innovation and Enterprise programme.



The successful candidate will have a strong track record and passion for teaching in higher education. As research and teaching are closely linked within the Division, applicants should also have research experience relevant to the programme's subject areas, such as medical innovation and translation, biomedical enterprise, biotechnology, regenerative medicine, nanomedicine, stem cell therapy, tissue engineering, and/or biomaterials science. The role involves developing and delivering effective teaching materials for both online and face-to-face learning. Candidates should adopt a reflective approach to their teaching practice and be willing to engage with pedagogy, including obtaining recognition through qualifications such as Fellowship or Senior Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy.



We are looking for individuals who demonstrate a student-focused approach, foster connectivity between research, enterprise, and education, and enhance the overall student experience by promoting creativity and critical thinking.



This is a fixed-term contract starting immediately, covering a period of parental leave for 12 months.
