The Department of Pharmacy & Pharmacology, which ranked sixth overall in the REF2014 assessment of the Allied Health Professions, Dentistry, Nursing & Pharmacy (and was in the top three of universities with a School of Pharmacy) is appointing a full-time Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Pharmacy Practice.

We are looking for an outstanding individual with a keen interest in research relating to any area of pharmacy practice.  The Pharmacy Practice Group comprises a dynamic group of academics, teacher-practitioners, practice-educators, researchers and PhD students.

The successful candidate will have research interests that complement existing research themes in Health and Clinical Research, Drug & Target Discovery or Medicines Design.

The launch of the new MPharm undergraduate programme in Sept 2015 has led to an innovative new curriculum and significant changes in the design, development and delivery of learning for student pharmacists.
