The University of Stirling Health Sciences Division is a world leader in multidisciplinary translational research and education, translating research findings into evidence-based practice focussed on improving health and social care practice at both a national and international level.
We have invested in a number of new opportunities to join the Faculty at a really exciting time for the University. All jobs will be offered on either a teaching and scholarship or teaching and research basis.
We are recognised as a leading provider of research-based health and social care education, offering a variety of cutting-edge undergraduate, postgraduate and clinical doctorate programmes.
We have an excellent external reputation for the quality of our teaching provision and for our graduates. We pride ourselves in producing high-calibre healthcare practitioners for the workforce in Scotland and beyond.
Our research quality has been ranked as top in Scotland for the last two REF exercises, and in REF 2014, 90% of research outputs were ranked as being of international significance and our environment was ranked as 100% 4*. The faculty also encompasses two research groups allowing opportunities for cross-group collaboration.
