You will have expertise and experience teaching and researching in public health and epidemiology and the ability to teach across the wider subject area and experience of research supervision would be advantageous.

With Smarter Working you can work with increased flexibility, if you would like to, which can facilitate greater freedom and autonomy.

The successful candidate will be ICT literate and have experience in leading modules and programmes in HE settings. A track record of effective partnership working (internal and external) to develop scholarship and employability opportunities would be advantageous.

Faculty

You will join a friendly and collegiate team, based in the Faculty of Arts, Science & Technology, with an embedded culture of student-focused teaching and high impact research. This is a particularly good time to join us at the University, having recently achieved Gold in the Teaching Excellence Framework.

The University recently moved to our £330 million Waterside Campus based in Northampton Town. Therefore, you will benefit from purpose-built teaching and research facilities, a supportive team, and well established and sustainable links with our regional partners.

About Us

Come to the University of Northampton and you will see that we do things a bit differently.

We are one of the youngest universities in the UK but we are already leading the way in adding value to society, which we call social impact. We have won multiple awards for our work in this area, among others, but what matters the most to us is ensuring that our students and graduates have the opportunity to make their mark on the world too. That's why we were the first university in the UK to be named as a Changemaker Campus in 2012.

We want to break the mould of what Higher Education can be. This has led us to build a whole new University from the ground up that is designed to reflect the way that students actually learn rather than the way they are expected to learn. Waterside Campus opened in September 2018.

Our commitment to transforming lives and inspiring change is at the heart of all that we do.

Right to Work

All candidates will be asked to provide proof of eligibility to work in the UK at interview.
