Aston School of Optometry is one of the UK's longest-established optometry schools, and in 2026 we are proudly celebrating 100 years of Optometry at Aston. The School offers outstanding modern teaching, clinical and research facilities, alongside a supportive, collaborative and well-established academic community. We are seeking a Lecturer or Senior Lecturer in Optometry to join us in advancing our ambitions across research, enterprise, education and the student experience. We are particularly interested in candidates with expertise in Vision Science, binocular vision and paediatrics, or posterior eye care.

In this role, you will contribute to, shape and lead areas of research, scholarship and teaching within the School, working both independently and collaboratively with colleagues across disciplines. Through your professional expertise and commitment to excellence, you will help create an engaging and inclusive learning environment that supports student success and academic achievement. The role also offers opportunities to develop meaningful partnerships with regional, national and international stakeholders, including government agencies, schools, colleges, professional bodies, industry partners and community organisations, helping to strengthen the School's impact and reach.
