Background: 

Fiji National University invites applications for three Assistant Lecturer positions in Medical Imaging Science, with a primary focus on clinical and practical education.

The Bachelor of Medical Imaging Science (BMIS) programme is internationally accredited and places strong emphasis on developing clinically competent, safe and professionally responsible radiographers. The successful applicants will contribute to clinical teaching, student supervision, competency assessment, practical training and collaboration with clinical placement partners.

All three positions require broad competence in general diagnostic radiography, including emergency, mobile and theatre radiography. To strengthen specialist teaching capacity, FNU seeks to appoint at least one candidate with demonstrated competence in CT and at least one with demonstrated competence in diagnostic ultrasound. These may be separate appointments.

The positions offer opportunities to contribute to clinical education, professional development and the continued improvement of medical imaging training in Fiji and the wider Pacific region.

Key Responsibilities:

• Deliver clinical and simulation-based teaching, supervision, mentoring, constructive feedback and student remediation across assigned placements and practical sessions.
• Assess clinical competencies using approved rubrics, maintain accurate student records and logbooks, and support examinations, moderation and programme quality assurance.
• Liaise with clinical placement partners and promote patient safety, radiation protection, infection prevention, professional conduct and culturally respectful care.
•  Undertake other reasonable academic, clinical teaching and administrative duties assigned by the HOD, consistent with the approved FNU Assistant Lecturer JD, workload arrangements and authorised scope.

Person Specification: 

Essential:

• A Bachelor's degree specific to medical imaging/diagnostic radiography from an accredited university (FQF Level 7 or equivalent), with professional regulatory registration, such as, copy of the current APL/APC (or equivalent overseas practising licence) and/or professional registration certificate must accompany the application. Applicants must also submit documentary evidence of the scope of practice relevant to the position; a licence alone may not identify all authorised modalities.
• At least three years of full-time-equivalent relevant clinical experience after internship, and have the ability to teach, supervise, mentor and objectively assess students or junior practitioners, with constructive feedback and accurate assessment records.
• Demonstrated current competence in routine general, trauma/emergency, mobile/portable and theatre/intraoperative radiography; patient positioning, image acquisition and evaluation, radiation dose optimisation, infection prevention, safe patient handling and patient-centred care. Relevant fluoroscopic/C-arm activities must be within authorised scope.
• Demonstrate current CT competence/ current diagnostic ultrasound competence.
• Demonstrated professional integrity, sound clinical judgement, effective communication, teamwork, cultural sensitivity and commitment to student and patient safety.

Professional Standing and Selection:

Shortlisted applicants must complete a structured practical clinical teaching assessment; candidates for CT- and ultrasound-designated duties will also be assessed in their respective modality. Applicants must declare material practice restrictions, substantiated disciplinary findings and relevant ongoing formal proceedings. Appointment is conditional on verification of qualifications, registration, authorised scope and consent-based clinical references (including clinical partners where appropriate). Disclosures will be assessed fairly and confidentially.
