Lecturer in Professional Practice, Values and Ethics (A2615)

Lancaster Medical School is a growing department within one of the top ten UK universities with exceptional student satisfaction scores. The opportunity has arisen to join a committed team at this exciting stage in the development of Lancaster Medical School.

We are seeking to appoint a Lecturer to join the Professional Practice, Values and Ethics team who will teach and research and can provide expertise in one or more of the following fields: Medical Law, Ethics, Professionalism. You will join a small, supportive team made up of clinicians and academics to deliver and take responsibility for the development and organisation of various components within the Professional Practice, Values and Ethics curriculum. This will include contributing to lectures, debates, workshops, and be involved in all aspects of assessment.

You will join a team of highly dedicated, experienced and enthusiastic colleagues within the Medical School, and will work closely with the Director of Admissions to lead on the review of admissions criteria and selection processes, to ensure they remain in line with best practice. 

You will be supported to develop your own programme of research, and will be encouraged to develop collaborative research within the Faculty in line with our research strategy. You will also be encouraged to supervise dissertation projects and PhD students.

The Faculty strategy has teaching and research collaborations with NHS colleagues as a priority and the successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop their research activity and contribute to teaching, learning and assessment in collaboration with clinical colleagues and academic colleagues with a very wide range of expertise.

The Faculty provides a research 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 and research.
