Lancaster Medical School seeks to appoint a Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Science to contribute to the development and delivery of our undergraduate Sport and Exercise Science (SaES) degree, prospective postgraduate offering and engagement portfolio.
You will work with the Director of SaES and excellent team to develop and deliver a sector leading SaES curriculum, excellent research and strategic engagement portfolio. Depending on qualifications and experience this role is offered at grade 7 or grade 8.
You will make a significant contribution to teaching, learning and assessment, and the continued development of the SaES portfolio according to their expertise and skills, including, for example, supervising student projects and contributing to core professional practice. An ideal candidate would be able to contribute to more than one of the core SaES disciplines of study.
The university, faculty and specifically SaES team are keen to further build collaborative and sustainable relationships with partners and communities for mutual benefit to create positive change, maximise existing and develop new relationships. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to lead and develop the engagement portfolio and contribute to teaching, learning and assessment in collaboration with clinical and academic colleagues with a very wide range of expertise.
The successful candidate, depending on their level of experience, will grow the SaES team's strategic engagement portfolio, align with the Medical School's objectives and foster existing and new relationships with industry and third-sector partnerships to enhance curricular and wider team activity.
Lancaster Medical School is a flourishing, innovative and vibrant division of the Faculty of Health and Medicine, whose guiding principle is to deliver excellence in teaching, learning, assessment and research. Our highly ranked SaES degree focuses on research-led teaching and has a growing population of research-led postgraduate students. The SaES team, along with the whole of Lancaster Medical School and the Human Biomechanics Laboratory is based on the Lancaster University campus in the modern Health Innovation One building and the Human Performance Laboratory is located within the exceptional SPORT Lancaster facility.
The faculty provides an environment that strongly supports the individual needs of each employee, promoting a healthy work-life balance. We are committed to family-friendly and flexible working policies on an individual basis, as well as the Athena SWAN Charter, which recognises and celebrates good employment practice undertaken to address gender equality in higher education.
We are looking for a dynamic individual to join us and become a part of the positive, intellectual and collaborative SaES team and more widely Lancaster Medical School. Informal enquiries can be made to Professor Marina Anderson (Head of Lancaster Medical School) and Dr Sarah Powell (Director of Sport and Exercise Science).
