We welcome applications from people who meet the essential criteria and are particularly interested in applicants with experience in child nursing, mental health nursing and infection prevention and control.

Essential and desirable criteria for the posts are set out in the further particulars.

Key components of the role include:

• Learning, teaching and assessment activities across undergraduate and postgraduate programmes
• Student support, including acting as Advisor of Studies
• Other educational activities, such as curriculum development work, student recruitment or leading modules
• Supervising postgraduate students
• Collaborative and interdisciplinary work, including across the wider university
• High quality scholarly activity, including institutional and external engagement

About us

We have a vibrant academic community, with a skilled and enthusiastic team, delivering first-class education that directly enhances health outcomes. We offer a large undergraduate nursing programme and a range of postgraduate programmes for health professionals. We have a diverse student population and programmes are delivered on our Dundee and Kirkcaldy campuses as well as online.

This is an exciting opportunity to develop an academic career in a supportive environment that strongly encourages innovation and professional development. We collaborate extensively with external partners, and every member of staff can benefit from being part of world leading research and education collaborations.

Successful candidates can negotiate to be based on either the Dundee or Kirkcaldy campus, to accommodate travel and family commitments. However, candidates must be prepared to travel between campuses for teaching and other activities. We also support hybrid working.

The diversity of our community helps to make the University of Dundee a UK University of choice for staff and students. Our inclusive workplace offers staff access to family friendly policies, staff networks for BME, disabled and LGBTQ+ staff, membership of Athena SWAN, the Race Equality Charter and Stonewall, as well a full range of disability services.

These are full-time posts but we will consider part-time or job share if requested at the application stage.
