Lancaster Medical School seeks to appoint a Lecturer in Biomechanics to contribute to the development and delivery of our undergraduate Sports and Exercise Science (SaES) degree. The successful candidate will work with the Director of Sports Science and a growing SaES Team as we work together to develop, and deliver, a sector leading SaES curriculum and an excellent SaES research portfolio.

The successful candidate will work with the Director of Sports Science, and a growing team active in the Sports and Exercise Science domain, to make a significant contribution to the development of the SaES curriculum, and will make a major contribution to the delivery of Biomechanics modules in each of the three years of the degree.

The successful candidate will also contribute more generally to teaching, learning and assessment across the SaES degree according to their experience, for example by supervising student projects and contributing to core Professional Practice modules.

The Faculty strategy has teaching and research collaborations as a priority, and the successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop their research activity and contribute to teaching, learning and assessment in collaboration with clinical and academic colleagues with a very wide range of expertise.

The SaES Team, along with the whole of Lancaster Medical School is based on the Lancaster University campus in the recently built Health Innovation Campus. Associated with the SaES degree is a Human Performance Laboratory which is part of the Sports Centre located on the Lancaster University campus.

The Faculty provides an environment that strongly supports the individual needs of each employee, promoting a healthy work-life balance. We are committed to family-friendly and flexible working policies on an individual basis, as well as the Athena SWAN Charter, which recognises and celebrates good employment practice undertaken to address gender equality in higher education.

Informal enquiries can be made to Professor Marina Anderson (Head of Lancaster Medical School) or Dr Bob Lauder (Director of Sports Science).

This post is available immediately and the successful candidates will be expected to contribute to teaching for the 2022-23 academic year.
