Professor of Interprofessional Education

Welcome

SRUC is a unique, place-based tertiary institution with a global reach, providing excellence in teaching, research and consultancy. Formed in 2012 following the merger of the Scottish Agricultural College with the regional colleges of Barony, Elmwood and Oatridge, our history stretches back more than a century. We are quite unlike any other institution, with a tertiary education model (from FE to PhD), a world-class research base, knowledge exchange and consultancy services. Therefore, we are uniquely placed to respond to the global challenges facing us collectively, and we have the strength, courage and audacity to do it.

Within SRUC, our School of Veterinary Medicine and Biosciences is the first new School of Veterinary Medicine in Scotland for 150 years. It was founded on the organisation’s established, high-profile expertise across this sector.

Wayne Powell, SRUC Principal and CEO affirms that, “this is a ground-breaking model to expand access to educational opportunities and broaden the range of potential students who would not ordinarily be able to attend a School of Veterinary Medicine and Biosciences. It is also the first to offer a tertiary range of educational opportunities for veterinary professionals and in the related animal sciences.”

We are now seeking to appoint a Professor of Interprofessional Education. Appropriate applicants may be considered for progression to Deputy Head of School (Education) (5-year tenure with associated tenure allowance).

The successful candidate will complement and work with the Deputy Heads of School, (Veterinary Accreditation and Research), to develop and deliver teaching across the broader curricula, focusing on our tertiary range of programmes within the Animal / Equine Science and Bioscience areas, while ensuring student veterinary surgeons, nurses and technicians are provided with an exceptional learning experience, presented through realistic interprofessional sessions and using the latest pedagogical advances. There is an expectation that the candidate will be involved in pedagogical research. They should be able to take an enthusiastic and flexible approach to work and be used to delivering to meet tight deadlines.
