Job description

We are seeking a motivated Lecturer / Senior Lecturer to join our Drug Discovery research group at the Institute of Pharmaceutical Science.

https://www.kcl.ac.uk/scps/our-departments/institute-of-pharmaceutical-science

We encourage applicants who have an expanding research profile and a proclivity for curiosity driven, perceptive research that will enhance the world-class research portfolio of the School of Cancer and Pharmaceutical Sciences and King’s Health Partners clinical academic groups of Pharmaceutical Science, and Allergy & Respiratory.

The drug discovery research group have expertise in the areas of medicinal/bioinorganic/bioanalytical chemistry, biophysics, microbiology, systems biology, neurodegenerative diseases, pharmacology, vascular biology and inflammation. These are linked by cross-cutting themes in cancer diagnostics and therapeutics, antimicrobials and respiratory medicines.

Applications are welcomed from scientists with backgrounds in pharmacology, respiratory diseases and inflammation disciplines, who are imaginative and interdisciplinary and can move our ambitions forward by pursuing new opportunities for laboratory research programmes. There is a particular opportunity for increased involvement between the Respiratory Medicines theme within IPS, the KCL Centre for Lung Health, and developing imaging capabilities.

The applicant should have a strong, fundable research area that fits with the School of Cancer and Pharmaceutical Sciences and has obvious potential for collaboration with researchers across the School, the Faculty, King’s, the UK and internationally.

An inclusive workplace delivers greater impact, and we are looking for an individual who will help evolve our welcoming, vibrant, and inspiring environment. A key part of our ethos is equality, with a dynamic and fulfilling culture for all and an emphasis on tackling under-representation of female and minority ethnic researchers in science.

The role requires a skilled educator to teach undergraduate and postgraduate students in the field of Pharmaceutical Science and embed within the Dept of Pharmacology and Therapeutics.

This post will be offered on an indefinite contract

This is a full-time  post

Key responsibilities

  • Deliver research excellence and high-quality education, as a principal research investigator, helping to shape the future of IPS and embed a supportive, collegiate culture.
  • Define and lead research in pharmacology, respiratory diseases and inflammation, securing funding to develop a highly respected, international, research programme. This will include productive collaborative links in academia and/or industry and with colleagues in IPS, across King’s (e.g. Centre for Lung Health), the UK and internationally.
  • Take responsibility for developing the talent of students and research staff to ensure their effective career progression.
  • Enhance the education and experiences of our undergraduate and postgraduate students, delivering appealing, up-to-date teaching and contributing to the development of our curricula and teaching and assessment methods.
  • Provide visionary and proactive leadership in developing and expanding respiratory medicines research capability at the Institute of Pharmaceutical Science
  • Lead in seeking external funding for research activities and projects, individually or with other PIs at IPS and beyond, with an ability to identify high-quality grant capture opportunities.
  • Guided by the department safety committee and practices, be responsible for the health and safety of yourself and others.

Undertake a proportionate level of administration associated with research and teaching in higher education.

The above list of responsibilities may not be exhaustive, and the post holder will be required to undertake such tasks and responsibilities as may reasonably be expected within the scope and grading of the post.
