Job description
We are looking to recruit an academic senior lecturer at Brighton & Sussex Medical School. The post is offered initially for 6 months, but there may be opportunity to extend beyond this period. Working with the research team, the academic senior lecturer will lead work to look at how digital technology, artificial intelligence, extended reality and other emerging surgical technologies can help streamline surgical referral pathways, treatments and their adoption in undergraduate and postgraduate training. This post will explore process and pipelines from the point of referral for elective or emergency surgical care, through to surgery and after.
Brighton and Sussex Medical School is developing its undergraduate and postgraduate surgical and medical educational resources with Health Education England utilising extended reality (virtual reality, augmented reality and the metaverse). This lectureship will support the development of these emerging pillars, such as the Virtual Reality in Medicine and Surgery (VRiMS) pan-surgical initiative, acting as a bridge between academic and clinical medicine.
