This is a postgraduate programme that runs almost entirely online. Students will be working towards either a Post-graduate Diploma or a Master’s qualification. In addition, students may also take individual modules for continuing professional development. The programme aims to provide a broad coverage of sleep medicine, ranging from the physiology of sleep at the molecular level, through to clinical intervention in sleep disorders.

 

The successful candidate will have research and/or clinical expertise in sleep disorders. The candidate will be expected to teach across a broad range of sleep medicine topics, research design and analysis, and lead several individual modules, including the design and implementation of new modules.  The successful candidate will be expected to supervise MSc dissertations and provide pastoral support to students The candidate will also be expected to set and mark exam assessments, assess MSc level dissertations, act as an examiner in the viva voce exam, take on exam administration responsibilities, follow correct examination procedures, and design and implement changes to examination processes.

 

It is essential that the successful candidate holds a PhD in human sleep research (preferably with a focus on clinical sleep medicine), or a closely related human research field. A less experienced candidate may be appointed at Grade 7 (£36,024 – £44,263 per annum) with a commensurate adjustment in either the essential criteria, responsibilities or duties.
