Senior Instrumentation Scientist/Instrumentation Scientist (at Senior Lecturer/Lecturer level) in the Faculty of Pharmacy

Recognising that diversity is important in achieving excellence, Rhodes University especially encourages South African members of underrepresented designated groups to apply. Spouses and partners of existing staff members are also encouraged to apply.

Please note that this appointment will be made in line with the requirements of the Employment Equity Act of RSA and the University’s recruitment and selection policies and equity strategies. The initial focus will be on equity candidates.

In terms of Immigration Legislation (Act No. 13 of 2002 & Regulations), international staff members (non-SA citizens) have to comply with the provisions of the Act. This therefore means that the period of employment to non-SA citizens will be guided by the validity period of the work permit.  In line with legislation governing employment of foreign nationals, employment contracts will be offered on the basis that a development plan would be implemented for the transfer of skills to a South African resident. The onus is on candidates to ensure that they are in possession of a valid work permit before the commencement of employment at the University, failing which the employment with Rhodes University will be terminated.

Requirements: 

Instrumentation Scientist (at Lecturer level):

Normally a PhD in Pharmaceutical Science or a cognate discipline, but an MSc in Pharmaceutical Science or a cognate discipline may be appropriate in some instances with an in-depth understanding of pharmaceutical sciences, good understanding of instrument calibration and setup for standard analysis and data collection and understanding of current Good Manufacturing and Laboratory practice.

Senior Instrumentation Scientist (at Senior Lecturer level):

At least a PhD or equivalent in Pharmaceutical Science or a cognate discipline with in-depth understanding of analytical and other pharmaceutical sciences, in-depth understanding of instrument calibration and setup for analysis and operation and in-depth experience in solving complicated analytical problems.
