What is biomedical humanities?

Biomedical humanities is an interdisciplinary field that explores the ethical, historical, cultural, and social dimensions of medicine, health, and biomedical research. It integrates perspectives from the humanities—such as literature, philosophy, history, and ethics—with biomedical sciences to better understand the human experience in healthcare. Professionals in this field examine topics like medical ethics, patient narratives, and the impact of social and cultural factors on health and medicine. This approach helps foster empathy, critical thinking, and ethical decision-making in healthcare and medical research.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in biomedical humanities?

To thrive in Biomedical Humanities, you need a strong background in both the life sciences and humanities, often supported by a degree in biomedical humanities or a related interdisciplinary field. Familiarity with qualitative research methods, bioethics frameworks, and academic writing or publication tools is typically required. Excellent communication, critical thinking, and ethical reasoning skills set candidates apart in this role. These competencies are essential for effectively analyzing and addressing complex ethical, cultural, and social issues in healthcare and biomedical research.

Professionals in Biomedical Humanities often work closely with medical practitioners, researchers, and ethicists to bridge the gap between scientific advancements and their societal, ethical, and cultural implications. They may participate in interdisciplinary teams, contribute to policy discussions, and help design patient-centered care practices by offering insights from history, philosophy, and ethics. Effective collaboration involves clear communication, attending interdisciplinary meetings, and sometimes facilitating workshops or educational sessions for clinicians and researchers. This collaborative environment helps ensure that biomedical innovations are implemented in ways that are ethically sound and socially responsible.

Job description

Organization Overview
Vertex Partnership Academies is a public charter International Baccalaureate World High School with a classical core in the heart of the Bronx.
Our mission is to provide students with pathways for upward mobility while preparing them for the responsibilities of self-governance in a democratic republic. Everything we do is rooted in the four cardinal virtues: courage, justice, temperance, and wisdom.
Our Lower Academy curriculum is designed to teach timeless truths in pursuit of the good, the true, and the beautiful. All students train in the seven classical liberal arts of the Trivium and Quadrivium, with explicit instruction and practice of logic, grammar, and rhetoric, choose between Spanish and Latin, and trace the development of the Western Tradition.
Our Upper Academy provides students with rich options equal in rigor and stature: a Humanities-focused pathway with AP courses, or three different International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme pathways: Biomedical Science, Computer Science and Cybersecurity, and Montessori Early Childhood Education, all of which have real-world partners and result in an industry credential.
At Vertex, our students have agency. Each day, they make choices about the kind of people they want to become, the lives they want to lead, and the society they want to build. It's our sacred duty to equip them with the knowledge most worth having, to sharpen their critical thinking, and to create a space where they grapple with diverse viewpoints, express cogent arguments, and engage in democratic discourse.
Responsibilities
  • Craft and execute lessons that give students the knowledge most worth having and build transferable skills and conceptual understandings.
  • Implement our academy-wide pastoral systems with fidelity.
  • Implement the Data Inquiry Cycle and embody the ACE Habits of Mind.
  • Build caring relationships of respect and rapport with students and staff.
  • Ensure all assessments support ongoing learning and provide timely, relevant, and appropriate feedback to students.
  • Contribute positively to the collaborative culture of the academic team and Vertex staff.
  • Enthusiastically participate and contribute thoughtfully in professional development.
  • Participate in community-based projects and school field trips.
  • Proactively communicate with families about student learning.
  • Supervise students' individual Personal Projects, Extended Essays, and service requirements.
  • Lead an advisory group of students.

Qualifications
Required
  • Bachelor's degree
  • A deep, abiding belief in the infinite potential of our students
  • An expansive sense of your own agency
  • A hunger for feedback from all stakeholders and a commitment to continuous improvement

Nice to Have:
