The School of Biomedical Sciences wishes to appoint four new Lecturers to support teaching and research. The posts are linked to a Dual Award Honours programme that is being developed with Zhejiang University in China. The post-holders will spend up to 12 weeks per annum on teaching-related activities at Zhejiang University.

The University of Edinburgh is an exciting, vibrant research-led academic community offering opportunities to work with leading international academics whose visions are shaping tomorrow’s world. The School of Biomedical Sciences is mostly located in the central George Square area, hosting the Centre for Integrative Physiology (CIP), the Centre for Neuroregeneration (CNR), the Centre for Cognitive and Neural Systems (CCNS) and the Division of Pathway Medicine (DPM). The post-holders will be expected to deliver an independent research programme that complements research priorities within the School of Biomedical Sciences or other Schools in the University, as evidenced by publications in leading international peer-reviewed journals and the ability to obtain external grant funding.

The post requires a degree and a PhD in a relevant Biomedical Sciences subject. Experience in teaching in a Higher Education Institution would be a requirement.

These posts are for five years, subject to a satisfactory formal review at the end of year three. It is intended that the post-holder will then move to a standard University academic open-ended contract at the end of year five.
