Applications are invited from experienced researchers/teachers who can demonstrate an excellent record relating to their career stage, and who wish to play an active role in the delivery of high-quality and innovative teaching.
Our world-class research is broad based, covering Cell Biology, Genetics, Microbiology, Structural Biology and Biochemistry. Our research and teaching infrastructure is excellent, with recently renovated research and teaching laboratories, and modern lecture theatres.
MBB is located centrally in the University adjacent to our sister departments of Biomedical Science and Animal and Plant Sciences. Together the biology departments host around 100 academic staff and research fellows and teach 1,500 students. The three departments are renowned for cutting edge research and have internationally recognised strengths in evolutionary biology and genetics, cell and developmental biology, stem cell biology, behaviour and neuroscience, human health and disease, plant science, microbiology, ecology and environmental biology and structural and quantitative biology.
The successful candidate will have a strong track record of research/teaching in biochemistry or genetics. They will be expected to design, prepare, co-ordinate and deliver teaching and assessments to our undergraduate and postgraduate students.
