The successful applicant will have expertise in blood sciences including transfusion and/or immunohaematology. Experience as a Biomedical or Clinical Scientist and/or the provision of Biomedical Science or Medical Science education would be desirable but teaching experience in other Medical Science settings (such as in-practice training, professional development courses etc) will also be considered.

It collaborates with the NHS, business and the third sector in a spirit of open innovation and has established itself as a world-class place to learn, research and innovate.  The Medical School ranks top 5 for research quality (REF2021) and is consistently highly ranked in various subject-specific teaching league tables. The Medical School became the first department within the University to achieve an Equality Challenge Unit (ECU) Athena SWAN Charter Silver Award in 2015, and this was re-awarded in 2019 in recognition of its commitment to equality. The University also holds the Athena SWAN Charter Silver Award. Swansea is a great place to live and work, the gateway to the Gower with its fantastic beaches and close to the Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brycheiniog).
