The role
We seek to appoint an outstanding academic to join a vibrant, research-intensive school with a passion for innovative and inclusive teaching. The post is primarily associated with the new MSc in Mental Health Science and will significantly shape the programme alongside team members in the Health and Wellbeing research theme. We are looking for someone with an emerging track record of excellence in teaching and supervision, with a commitment to the scholarship of teaching and learning and a background in mental health and wellbeing who is adaptable and has a student-centred approach to teaching.
We would consider a 50/50 job share or 0.5 FTE part-time. Hybrid working is also available: Our programmes are taught in person and on campus, you would be expected to be on campus for all student-facing activities. Typically, staff in the school are on campus 3 days a week, but this varies substantially; we normally expect a minimum of one day on campus per week.
We are committed to equality of opportunities for all and a selection process based on merit. We welcome applications from all and would encourage applications from women and people from a minority ethnic background and LGBTQIA+ communities.
