He then took up a position as lecturer in biological sciences at the University of Dundee where he researched, taught and acted as an academic tutor, and was involved in curriculum development. Jonathan initiated and co-authored several books in Pearson Education’s ‘Practical Skills’ series. These and other initiatives led to a fellowship of the Higher Education Academy. Jonathan later took up a position as Director in the University’s Centre for Learning and Teaching which inter alia was involved in developing the university’s virtual learning environment, organising the institutional staff development programme and numerous academic support initiatives for students. His final position was as Director of Quality Assurance where he steered the university to its second ‘excellent’ rating in the QAA’s institutional review process.
