The successful applicant will be expected to build on the department’s successful, engaging approach to teaching and learning, and will also be able to articulate what academic rigour looks like in the subject.

 

Please note that the role of Head of Chemistry (Maternity Cover) is available to a candidate with appropriate experience.
