within the School. The post will be tenable for one year on a full time and fixed-term basis, or for one
year (renewable for a further year) on a half-time (50%) basis, and will become available from 1

The School has a successful and thriving range of postgraduate courses which it aims to improve and
extend, appealing to overseas as well as domestic students. The duties of the post-holder will be to
jointly serve the Centre for Medical History [CMH] and the Graduate School [GS] of SHIPPS in
devising and developing postgraduate courses. The PD Officer will report to the Director of the
Centre and the Head of the Graduate School and the Officer’s duties will be divided approximately
3:2 between CMH and GS. In the case of a part-time appointment this would assume that the post-
holder would be employed for approximately one and a half days per week with the Centre and one

The main responsibilities of the post-holder will be to organise the administration of the new

within the Graduate School. The person appointed will be expected to work on modules prepared for
the Continuing and Professional Development Office as well as dealing with standard academic

Candidates should have excellent administrative and organisational abilities, work effectively as part
of a small team of people, be able to draft submissions to tight deadlines under the direction of the two
Directors, and have clear capacity to undertake questionnaires and market research. A key role will be
in the evaluation of the student market for new and existing programmes. The person appointed will

processing applications and distributing literature at the Centre for Medical History. Good
communications, presentational and office skills are therefore essential, including a sound grasp of IT

graduate market may be an advantage. The PDO would be responsible for effective communications
with the International Office, Postgraduate Admissions Office and the European Office at the
University. Knowledge of another language or languages may be an advantage. Candidates with
some knowledge and/or experience of medical history or related medical and health studies are
encouraged to apply, though this knowledge will not be considered a prerequisite. Persons with a
