Lecturer in Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

The School of Cardiovascular & Metabolic Health is seeking to appoint a Lecturer in Cardiovascular Electrophysiology. The School of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Health is one of eight Schools within the College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences at the University of Glasgow. The School is internationally leading in the areas of research, education (and undergraduate and postgraduate level) and has a wide-ranging internationalisation, engagement and enterprise portfolio.

Research in the School focusses on the areas of cardiac diseases (including but not limited to ischemic heart disease, heart failure, arrhythmias and cardio-oncology), metabolic diseases (including but not limited to diabetes and obesity) and vascular diseases (including but not limited to hypertension, cerebrovascular disease and kidney disease), supported by a cross‑cutting research theme in cardiovascular data science. The School is proud of its translational research strategy from fundamental and discovery science to experimental medicine, clinical trials and implementation research.

To develop, lead and sustain research and scholarship of international standard in the subject area of cardiovascular cellular electrophysiology and contribute to the delivery of excellent student experience by delivering, research, teaching, and administration processes to enhance learning and cardiovascular research in the School of Cardiovascular & Metabolic Health.

• 1. Pursue and deliver independent research proposals and/or collaborative research projects, project manage research activities, supervise and take responsibility for the research team. Secure external resources to support research individually and/or jointly, as appropriate to the subject area. The specific research area that is the focus of the position is the cellular electrophysiology of the heart, but at the single cell and the syncytium level.
• 2. Develop an expert reputation in the field by effective dissemination and publishing of research findings in cardiac electrophysiology in leading journals and conferences, and where appropriate undertake knowledge exchange activities.
• 3. Make a substantial contribution to developing and enhancing the research profile of the School/College. Establish and lead research collaborations with appropriate individuals and groups within the University, including multi‑disciplinary links, and develop external research collaborations both nationally and internationally, to ensure that research activities are at the forefront of the field.
• 4. Actively contribute to the effective management and administration of the College/School, assuming responsibility for the management of allocated resources and contributing to the wider organisation of the subject area.
• 5. Carry out course administration within required timescales ensuring effective communication of information, in particular assessment requirements and criteria and timely and constructive feedback on assessment.
• 6. Develop effective approaches which enhance intellectual understanding and innovation in the field of cellular cardiac electrophysiology and support and enhance course delivery, feedback and assessment. This may involve blended and/or online provision.
• 7. Ensure an inclusive and evidence‑based approach to facilitating learning in a range of face‑to‑face and potentially online delivery formats such as tutorials, lectures, problem‑based learning, that promotes student participation and learning outcome attainment.
• 8. Develop effective working relationships with students and early career staff in the subject specialism, providing specialist advice, support and academic leadership. Work in partnership with relevant student services teams, respond appropriately to the diverse range of learning approaches and learner needs.
• 9. To supervise project work at undergraduate and Masters levels and take forward the supervision and training of postgraduate research students in the area of cardiac electrophysiology.
• 10. Engage in continuing professional development activities as appropriate.
• 11. Undertake any other reasonable duties as required by the…
