Job description

The University of Central Lancashire and American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine have put together a new programme aimed at helping ease the global shortage of doctors.  

The two institutions linked up in 2017 when almost the entire contingent of the AUC School of Medicine re-located to UCLan while their base on the island of St Maarten was rebuilt following hurricane.  

Now, UCLan and the AUC have joined forces to offer a new blended programme, to enable students from the UK and across the world to study towards their accredited medical qualification, the Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree - the postgraduate degree of physicians in the United States.  

UCLan's School of Medicine will run the 2-year programme, which commenced in September 2019, providing students with a postgraduate diploma in International Medical Sciences (PGIMS) from UCLan, followed by their MD with AUC. Students will then be eligible to do clinical rotations at AUCs clinical sites, which include hospitals in the US, the UK, and Canada.  

As part of this exciting development, the University is seeking to appoint Senior Lecturers and Lecturers in a range of bioscience disciplines (anatomy, physiology, cell biology, embryology and histology).  Working within a committed and enthusiastic team you will contribute to the course planning, teaching, and assessment as well as providing strategic module leadership.   

You will hold a first degree and PhD in relevant subject areas. Experience of higher education teaching, enthusiasm for your subject and the ability to teach up to Masters level. A recognised qualification such as fellowship of the HEA is desirable. You will of course also have excellent communication, presentation and team working skills.   

Informal enquiries are welcomed - please contact Professor Cathy Jackson, Executive Dean of the Faculty of Clinical & Biomedical Sciences via email in the first instance cjackson19@uclan.ac.uk.  

Applicants need to meet all essential criteria on the person specification to be considered for interview. This position is based in Preston.  

Please apply online; if you cannot apply online please contact Human Resources on 01772 892324 and quote the reference number. CVs will not be considered unless accompanies by a completed application form.  

School/Service: School of Medicine  
Hours: Full time (37 hours per week - 1.0 FTE)  
Basis: Indefinite  
Interview Date: To be confirmed

UCLan values

Company

The University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) was founded in Preston in 1828 as the Institution for the Diffusion of Knowledge.  Since those early days it has transitioned into one of the UK’s leading, modern universities with a student body comprising some 120 nations and an overall learning community approaching 38,000. 

Throughout its development ‘Ex solo ad solem’, or in translation, ‘From the Earth to the Sun’, has been its motto – helping talented people from all walks of life to make the most of their potential. Staff at UCLan pride themselves on putting the needs of students at the centre of everything they do and in 2014 this shared core value was highlighted when the University achieved IIP Gold status.   

In 2015 the Centre for World University Rankings placed UCLan in the top 3.8 percent of all worldwide universities and over the coming years UCLan’s £200 million Campus Masterplan development will create a truly world-class educational environment that will propel the University to new levels of excellence.
