Skills

Education Skills: Curriculum design and module leadership (specializing in medical and pharmacological disciplines); undergraduate and postgraduate teaching (lecturing, seminar facilitation, tutorial guidance); student assessment and feedback (developing assessment tools aligned with medical education standards); academic mentoring (supporting graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and junior academics); international student education and recruitment (adapting teaching methods for diverse cultural backgrounds); academic practice optimization (integrating evidence-based teaching strategies); supervision of research projects for students (guiding experimental design, data analysis, and thesis writing); Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (demonstrating professional excellence in teaching and learning). Industry/Research Skills to Transfer into Education: Advanced experimental techniques (genetic mouse model establishment, CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing, multi-omic analysis, electrophysiology, biochemical and cellular assay development); drug discovery and development (rational drug design, target validation, preclinical research); scientific publication and academic writing (manuscript preparation, peer review, book/book chapter editing); patent application and intellectual property management (international patent drafting and prosecution); research funding acquisition (grant proposal writing for prestigious bodies like NIH, MRC, BBSRC, NSFC); international academic collaboration (coordinating cross-institutional research projects and educational exchanges); scientific journal editing and peer review (upholding academic standards and guiding scientific writing skills); multi-disciplinary research integration (linking biochemistry, molecular biology, pharmacology, and neuroscience to solve complex medical problems); data interpretation and scientific communication (translating complex research findings into accessible teaching content). Dr. Zhang has an outstanding publication record, with over 100 peer-reviewed papers (40 as first/joint first author, 34 as corresponding/co-corresponding author) in high-impact journals such as Cell, Nature Medicine and Nature Communications. He has edited 4 books/book chapters, obtained 10 international patents, and has over 4960 Google Scholar citations (h-index 35, i10-index 66). He has established strong international collaborations with renowned institutions worldwide and holds visiting/ joint research professor positions at Xiamen University Medical School and Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Additionally, he has made significant contributions to the academic community, serving as a Board Member, Associate Editor and Editor-in-Chief for multiple prestigious journals, reviewing over 150 manuscripts and providing advisory services for grant applications to funding bodies such as MRC, BBSRC, NSFC and BHF. Dr. Zhang s research and teaching interests are highly aligned with the target position and the current staff at Lincoln Medical School, and he is eager to bring his expertise to the role of Associate Professor in Medical Education and Research.

About

Jinwei Zhang is currently a Professor of Pharmacology at the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and an Honorary Senior Lecturer in Medical Sciences at the University of Exeter Medical School. He is applying for academic positions in the UK. With a solid academic foundation, extensive research and teaching experience, and remarkable achievements in the field of medical sciences, he is well-qualified to meet the requirements of the target positions. Academically, Dr. Zhang obtained his PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Newcastle University in May 2011 with the support of a BBSRC Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Award. He then pursued postdoctoral training as an MRC Career Development Fellow at the MRC-Protein Phosphorylation and Ubiquitylation Unit (PPU), collaborating with leading scholars. Since 2014, he has led independent research projects, focusing on key signaling pathways related to cellular homeostasis and disease mechanisms. Dr. Zhang s research focuses on understanding signal transduction mediated by protein posttranslational modification, exploring molecular mechanisms of diseases to improve human health, and linking molecules, mechanisms and medicine. His current laboratory investigations focus on membrane ion channels, transporters and signaling pathways associated with stroke, epilepsy, hypertension and other diseases, using advanced technologies such as genetic mouse models, CRISPR/Cas9, multi-omic analysis and electrophysiology. His research has been funded by prestigious bodies including NIH R01, The Royal Society UK, NSFC and Commonwealth Commission Funding. He has trained over 5 graduate students and 3 postdoctoral researchers, most of whom now hold positions in academia and industry. In terms of teaching, Dr. Zhang has served as Module Lead for Rational Drug Design and Biochemistry, and has participated in teaching various modules (e.g., Human Physiology, Genetics, Neurosciences) at the undergraduate level, undertaking responsibilities such as lectures, seminars, tutorials and assessments. He has been a personal tutor for over 20 students since 2017, holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice (PCAP), and was awarded Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy in 2019. He also participates in international student recruitment and supervises research students and junior scientists.
