The University of Lincoln is seeking an experienced and collaborative Associate Professor to provide academic leadership in research capacity development and research teaching within the School of Health and Care Sciences.
This is a Teaching and Research post, with an expected balance between sustaining the post-holder’s own high-quality research profile and providing leadership across research-related teaching and staff research development. The successful candidate will be an active researcher in a health or care-related field represented within the School, with a strong track record of research outputs, research leadership and research-informed teaching.
The post-holder will be expected to develop their own programme of research aligned with School, College and University priorities, contributing to outputs, funding activity, impact, postgraduate research supervision and future REF ambitions. They will also play a key role in strengthening research culture across the School by supporting academic colleagues to develop their research confidence, capability and activity.
The role will include leadership and oversight of shared research teaching across the School, working with programme teams to support coherence, quality and innovation in research-related teaching and learning. This will include enabling students across undergraduate and postgraduate health and care programmes to engage with research, evidence-informed practice and inquiry-led learning.
We are seeking a collegiate academic leader who can combine an active personal research profile with the ability to inspire, support and develop others. The successful candidate will contribute to the wider development and management of the School and College, supporting strategic priorities and helping to build a positive, inclusive and ambitious academic culture.
