3 weeks ago


Kingston upon Thames, United Kingdom Kingston University Full time

The Role

We are seeking a human/medical geneticist with cross-disciplinary interests contributing to Level 3 to 7 courses as well as research and enterprise activities. Biosciences sits within the School of Life Sciences, Pharmacy & Chemistry and ranks 5th in London in The Complete University Guide. We hope to fill this position with an academic who has formal training in human/medical genetics and experience in the area of genomics/bioinformatics.

You will join a group of academics who are successfully conducting pedagogically-led teaching, lab practicals, workshops, seminars and using forward-thinking approaches. You will deliver and assess on a range of modules in fully accredited bioscience programmes using a vibrant approach to education with increasing digital content that can be translated into real-world skills. You will contribute to the personal tutor scheme, offering pastoral support to students and help them maximise their chances of success.

The Person

You will hold a doctorate in the field of human/medical genetics and a verifiable experience in the application of bioinformatics is highly desirable. On a personal level, to deliver exceptional teaching and support to our students will be your core motivation. You will use your experience to promote practical knowledge to students that they will take with them in their future study and career. 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. By the end of the probation period, you must have achieved the relevant level of UKPSF recognition (if this has not already been obtained). For those new to teaching, this will be through our accredited Introduction to Learning and Teaching and for those experienced in teaching, through our Kingston Academic Practice Standards Framework. 

The Faculty

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, pharmaceutics, 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.

As a School we are passionate about Inclusions and proud to hold a School Athena SWAN silver award. We also have colleagues within the School who are actively involved in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion initiatives across the university.
