Shortly after his PhD, Emyr joined us as a Lecturer in Medical Sciences in December 2017 and progressed to a Senior Lecturer position in January 2022. Emyr’s responsibilities include teaching (Levels 4-7, predominantly molecular cell biology & evidence-based medicine), research leadership (MSc/MRes & doctoral supervision, and guiding staff newer to research) and academic leadership (module, course, and admissions).
To better underpin his leadership duties, Emyr has also completed an Executive MBA, providing broad expertise across numerous areas including accounting, finance, English business law, and theories of leadership. This varied skillset further aids Emyr’s role, including innovative approaches to research (such as novel analytical pipeline development) and teaching enhancement. Emyr greatly enjoys teaching and has been nominated for or awarded numerous educational awards over the course of his career. As an admissions lead, Emyr is also an advocate for widening participation (including outreach) and has been central to programme-level policy on this.
