We are looking for dynamic and flexible lecturers to undertake teaching and administrative activities in at least one module from list A and B below. Successful applicants should have expertise in the selected subjects and will also contribute to the different year 3 group project modules. In addition, teaching staff are expected to develop plans and execute scholarship projects aligned with teaching and learning.

The Joint Educational Institute (JEI) follows on from the successful Joint Programme (JP) in Biomedical Sciences and Clinical Medicine between Queen Mary and Nanchang University. Established in 2013, the JP forms the template for expansion of the new programmes. Teaching and assessments are delivered by ‘Flying Faculty’ in Nanchang, who travel to China multiple times a year. When not in China, staff are based within the School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences (SBBS) at the Mile End campus in London.

About You

Four highly collegiate individuals will join an interactive interdisciplinary team, to support and encourage student learning and development. You will have a passion for your chosen academic disciplines, have the appropriate subject knowledge and ability to teach and integrate knowledge across a range of subjects in contemporary Biomedical Sciences and Data Science disciplines.

The successful candidate will have an excellent academic background with a relevant PhD in the Biomedical Sciences and/or equivalent relevant professional qualification and experience.

About the School

SBBS is a supportive and friendly environment, priding itself on its inclusivity and research-led innovative teaching. Successful applicants will interact with SBBS staff and with other QM-NCU Joint Programme colleagues in Nanchang and London.

Where to Advertise Medical Technology Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising medical technology jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The medtech candidate pool spans biomedical engineers, regulatory affairs specialists, clinical scientists, software engineers working within IEC 62304 and MDR frameworks, imaging scientists and commercial professionals with deep healthcare sector knowledge. General job boards consistently conflate medical technology with broader healthcare, pharmaceutical and IT roles — producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist medtech positions. This guide, published by MedicalTechnologyJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise medical technology roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

How Many Medical Technology Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Medical Technology Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in medical technology, it can feel like the toolkit is endlessly long: imaging systems, data analysis software, regulatory platforms, testing frameworks, prototyping tools, CAD, quality management systems, signal processing libraries and more. Scroll job boards or LinkedIn, and it’s easy to think you need to know every tool under the sun just to secure an interview. Here’s the honest truth most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you understand the underlying principles and can apply the right tool in the right context to solve real problems. Tools matter — absolutely — but they are secondary to problem-solving ability, clinical awareness, engineering rigour and the ability to deliver safe, reliable solutions. So how many medical technology tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is far fewer than you think. This article explains what employers really want, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look confident, competent and end-game ready.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Medical Technology Job Applications (UK Guide)

Medical technology (MedTech) is one of the most dynamic and high-impact sectors in the UK — spanning medical devices, diagnostics, digital health, AI-assisted systems, wearables, imaging, robotics and clinical software. At the same time, hiring managers are exceptionally selective because MedTech roles demand technical excellence, regulated safety awareness, clinical context and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Whether you’re applying for roles in R&D, engineering, quality & regulatory, clinical validation, product management or software development for medical systems, hiring managers don’t read every word of your CV. They scan it quickly — often deciding within the first 10–20 seconds whether to continue reading. This guide breaks down exactly what hiring managers look for first in medical technology applications — and how you can make your CV, portfolio and cover letter stand out in the UK market.
