Lecturer in Advanced Surgical Practice & Pain Management at Cardiff University

An opportunity has arisen in the Centre for Medical Education within the School of Medicine for a Lecturer in Advanced Surgical Practice & Pain Management. The role is to provide high-quality, research-informed teaching (and activities relating to teaching), delivering and evaluating modules on both the MSc in Advanced Surgical Practice and the MSc in Pain Management programmes. There is also a requirement to supervise and support PGT students and to carry out academic administrative duties within the programmes as required.

The post holder will also contribute to scholarship and research in the area of Higher Education through participation in conferences, seminars and other academic and professional forums to disseminate the results of individual scholarship. They will also eventually lead specific PGT modules, teaching, learning, assessment, and feedback in their specialty area(s) as directed by the Programme Director to whom they report and the PGT Taught Director.

Applicants should be able to demonstrate a post-graduate qualification, at PhD or level 7 or equivalent (in surgical practice and / or pain management) and be a qualified healthcare professional. Applicants should also have excellent communication and IT skills, to include the ability to present complex and conceptual surgical and pain management concepts clearly and confidently to others, using high-level skills and a range of media.
