Our highly skilled and creative workforce is comprised of individuals drawn from a broad cross section of the globe, who reflect a variety of backgrounds, talents, perspectives and experiences that help to build our global learning community.
The Faculty of Health and Social Sciences is a vibrant and innovative environment containing five academic departments: Medical Science and Public Health, Nursing Science, Midwifery and Health Sciences, Rehabilitation and Sport Science and Social Sciences and Social Work. The Institute of Medical Imaging and Visualisation (IMIV) sits within the Department of Medical Science & Public Health. We are investing in some exciting new positions to further align our teaching and research portfolio toward BU’s 2025 strategic investment in Medical Sciences. We are working together with the NHS and Dorset Clinical Commissioning Group to realise the joint benefit of a new MRIMRI and US imaging facility Scanner that will be based in Bournemouth University based in the recently completely Bournemouth Gateway Building.
BU’s Institute of Medical Imaging and Visualisation has an exciting opportunity for a Lecturer with a clinical and/or research background in medical imaging.
