The Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy & Biomedical Sciences (SIPBS) wishes to appoint a Teaching Associate in Biochemistry. In this role, you will support teaching, learning, and assessment in our Biomolecular Science programme, our joint Pharmacology and Biochemistry programme with China Pharmaceutical University (CPU), Nanjing-China, the MPharm and relevant MSc programmes. As part of this role, you will spend 2 x 3 weeks teaching each academic year at CPU (normally in October and April), as part of our joint Pharmacology and Biochemistry programme. The successful candidate will join an energetic and ambitious Institute committed to bold and innovative research and education. Our teaching in Biomolecular Sciences is accredited by both the Institute of Biomedical Sciences and the Royal Society of Biology and SIPBS is ranked third in the UK for Pharmacology and Pharmacy (Complete University Guide, 2024).

You will ideally have a degree in Biochemistry but those with a degree in Pharmacology or Biomedical Sciences will also be considered. Applicants will also hold a PhD in a relevant discipline or equivalent professional or teaching experience.

Candidates must also have personal attributes which align with the University’s values.

Formal interviews for this post will be held in May 2024.
