Academic Lead in Education Practice

The Medical Sciences Division is committed to excellence in undergraduate and postgraduate education. The ecosystem in which we deliver education is rapidly evolving, ranging from meeting diverse student needs to the impact of advances in artificial intelligence and digitisation. Such change represents significant opportunities and challenges. There is an exciting opportunity to shape this through the new position of Academic Lead in Education Practice, as part of the Divisional academic leadership team in Education. Focusing on taught courses, both undergraduate courses and the division’s growing portfolio of postgraduate taught courses (PGT), you would promote expertise in pedagogy, the method and practice of teaching and assessment in this evolving ecosystem, establishing strategy, guidelines and policy to ensure we build on existing best practice across the Division, wider University, and the HE sector more broadly, and are best placed to meet the opportunities and challenges in this area.

Academic Lead in Student Experience

The Medical Sciences Division is committed to excellence in undergraduate and postgraduate education, with a global perspective and impact. We recognise that our students represent a highly diverse population for whom there may be significant challenges, ranging from differences in prior opportunity and background, to the impact of mental health and disability, and availability of funding. The Division and wider collegiate University have made significant progress in advancing the student experience, including widening participation and access, ensuring excellence in welfare and pastoral care, support for student health and disability, and more widely work to prevent students getting into difficulty and supporting them if this occurs. However, we recognise that in the current rapidly evolving educational and wider global landscape, pressures on the student experience continue to grow. There is an exciting opportunity to shape this through the new position of Academic Lead in Student Experience, as part of the Divisional Academic Leadership team in Education. You would provide academic leadership to seek to optimise a positive experience for students in the Medical Sciences Division, including strategy, guidelines and policy, to ensure we build on existing best practice across the Division and wider University, and the HE sector more broadly, and are optimally positioned to meet the opportunities and challenges in this area.
