Chadburn Lecturer in Clinical & Communication Skills

About the Chadburn Lectureships

The Chadburn lectureships in medicine, are funded by the legacy of Miss Maud Chadburn, a pioneer in the medical training (and treatment) of women. They have been a pioneering way in which London medical schools have provided opportunities for individuals from a variety of backgrounds to engage in academia and continue the development of their academic careers within medicine.

The posts are designed to suit people with a research, education or leadership background who need to work part time, enabling them to balance progressing their career alongside the other commitments they have. The role is only open to medical graduates who have not yet completed their postgraduate training.

About The Role

It is an exciting time to be involved in Medical Education at Queen Mary. We are in the process of writing a new curriculum for the MBBS. The Chadburn Lecturers in Clinical and Communication Skills will be an active part of the curriculum development process, and will contribute to student education and experience through the delivery of teaching activities across the Faculty’s medical degree programmes – shaping the agenda for our students and positioning QMUL as the best place to study medicine.

Based mainly at our West Smithfield Campus in London, it is a part-time, (14 hours per week), fixed term appointment for 2 years.

About You

A collegial, ambitious, and inclusive clinical educator, you will see this as an opportunity to transfer your existing high quality, innovative style in teaching and scholarship into a different environment in the area of clinical and communication skills. You are a proud and ethical doctor who is keen to pursue a career in academia within an Institute that can provide the flexibility to meet your needs.

You will inspire through your actions, engage through your variety of communication styles and actively seek out opportunities for collaboration, thriving on working with others, both within teams and across disciplines.
