Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Medicinal Chemistry, University of Bath MPharm at the University of Plymouth at University of Bath

The Universities of Bath and Plymouth are collaborating with NHS England (Workforce, Training and Education Directorate) to establish a new School of Pharmacy located at the University of Plymouth.

This innovative approach takes the highly successful Bath MPharm and delivers it on site in new purpose-built facilities from September 2024. 

This venture is strongly supported by the wider pharmacy community and will represent a major step forward in supporting the pharmacy workforce in the southwest of England. 

We are recruiting a body of staff who will be located primarily in Plymouth but employed by the University of Bath, delivering this new Bath MPharm degree and this phase of recruitment seeks to recruit staff in a number of core areas.
