Senior Lecturer in Pharmaceutics

As part of our commitment to the continued expansion of medical, pharmaceutical and health sciences at Bangor University, the newly formed North Wales Medical School seeks to appoint a Senior Lecturer in Pharmaceutics to contribute to the development of our proposed MPharm degree programme.

We are looking for an outstanding individual to contribute to the development and delivery of a newly planned MPharm programme at Bangor University. The new programme will align with the GPhC’s new Standards for Initial Education and Training of Pharmacists. You will be an experienced educator with a track record of research or scholarly achievements who seeks the excitement of being part of a pioneering team. Whilst expertise in any aspect of pharmaceutics and drug delivery is welcomed, additional experience of pharmacy practice or working with the Professional Body (GPhC) on curriculum development or programme recognition is particularly desirable.

The ability to communicate in Welsh is desirable for this post.

Applications will also be considered to carry out this role on a part-time or job share basis.
