Job description
Applications are invited for the post of Clinical Lecturer in Audiology at Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS). The post is being offered by BSMS in association with University Hospitals Sussex, where the successful applicant will hold an honorary contract.
The clinical lecturer will support and develop research and teaching in ear and hearing care at Brighton & Sussex Medical School (3 days per week), alongside providing high level clinical support to the audiology department at University Hospitals Sussex (one day per week). The post is offered initially for three years, but would look to be extended, subject to performance and funding review.
Working under supervision and guidance from Professor Mahmood Bhutta (Chair in ENT) you will build on our work in clinical and translational research in ear and hearing care. Our current portfolio includes working with the University of Brighton exploring a novel device for drug delivery to the inner ear for treatment of sudden hearing loss or Meniere’s disease, utilization of bone conduction for rehabilitation of hearing loss in both high and low-income settings, and collaboration with industry partners to explore technical and digital solutions for management of tinnitus. We host an annual regional research meeting, the “Sussex Hearing Lab” which includes attendance from our collaborators at other Universities. You will have the opportunity to be the regional Audiology lead for the National Institute for Health Research. We encourage furthering of our existing research portfolio and incorporation of new ideas and new collaborations. You will author peer reviewed publications and encourage, supervise and support others in their academic work.
The post includes a teaching component, to our undergraduate medical students, amounting to around seven mornings per academic year. We will support the postholder to expand this teaching portfolio, including at post-graduate level.
The clinical component of the post will be based at the Audiology department of University Hospitals Sussex, which provides a wide range of specialist ear and hearing care for adults and children across Sussex: https://www.uhsussex.nhs.uk/services/audiology/brighton/. The clinical component of the post will be adjusted to match the interests and skills of the post-holder, alongside the clinical and research needs of the department.
Please contact Professor Mahmood Bhutta at m.bhutta@bsms.ac.uk for informal enquiries about the academic component of the post and Manuel Loureiro at manuel.loureiro@nhs.net for informal enquiries about the clinical component.
