The Anatomy Department at King’s has a rich history, exceptional facilities, and world-class, progressive educators and researchers. Our diverse expertise in Education and Science Communication, Cell & Developmental Biology, and Tissue Engineering & Imaging Sciences fuel our modern, research-led education delivery. We are a collaborative multidisciplinary department working to understand the structure and function of the human body, from cells to organ systems, including development, ageing and evolution.

 

Anatomy is a fundamental subject in the biomedical sciences that fosters creativity and curiosity. We are proud to use traditional dissection coupled with cutting-edge technology and imaging in our education practice, developing widely transferrable practical abilities, as well as skills in exploration and observation, documentation and communication.

 

Anatomy Demonstrators teach and supervise undergraduate students in the Department of Anatomy and the Biosciences, as well as those students studying Dental, Medical and Physiotherapy programmes. This is done via tutorial, dissections and other classes. Demonstrators are also involved in the teaching of external groups (e.g. osteopathic medicine, sport therapy, nursing etc.). They may be required occasionally to assist in the setting and marking of “spot” examinations. Some of our Demonstrators are also required to design, teach and assess a series of tutorials on the Advanced Human Anatomy module. All Demonstrators are required to produce prosections to be used for teaching.

 

Demonstrators are fully briefed on the requirements for teaching on a weekly basis. They will receive instruction on aspects of Anatomy relevant to the classes in which they are involved. These will be delivered by academic members of the Department responsible for organising the Dental, Medical and Science courses. Moreover, there is also help and supervision for research and publication submissions and the chance to take a pivotal position in the Alcock anatomical society. If relevant, demonstrators on a clinical career path are also given expert guidance and training (no fee, on-site and online) towards their postgraduate examinations (e.g. MRCS). Reasonable time will be given to sit professional examinations and to attend recognised courses of study.

 

This post will be offered on an a fixed-term contract for 9 months, from 1st September 2025 to 31st May 2026.

 

This is a part-time post but teaching occurs daily during term-time. If relevant, locums and other roles are possible during the appointment when the teaching time-table allows.
