Mobile Application Developer , University of Leeds

Fixed term for 12 months

This full time role will be based in Leeds Institute for Medical Education (LIME) Technology Enhanced Learning Team working on an innovative project to design and develop mobile applications for the undergraduate medical students. The mobile learning programme for the undergraduate medical degree (MBChB) supports students in clinical practice with mobile applications for assessment and learning. The post holder will lead the establishment of a mobile application development centre for this innovative project and will design and develop the next generation of our assessment applications, manage the support of our existing portfolio of Apps and ensure that these skills are embedded in the existing members of the team.

The post will involve working with clinical, academic and clerical staff to determine their pedagogical requirements and you will work with student expert groups to ensure that the Apps give an excellent mobile experience to the students. You will report progress to these groups on a regular basis therefore excellent communication and interpersonal skills are required. No knowledge of the medical curriculum is needed, but some experience of working within Higher Education and/or understanding of NHS working practices would be an advantage.
