The School of Life Sciences came top for Biological Sciences across all UK universities in the recent Research Excellence Framework assessment. Researchers in the Division of Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology (MDCB), within Life Sciences, investigate molecular mechanisms that underpin cell and tissue biology in development and disease. We are seeking to appoint both talen ted new group leaders wishing to start an independent career and senior researchers with well- established track records in this area, to complement and develop current research. This includes investigation of gene regulation, cell division, protein trafficking and cell polarity as well as tissue morphogenesis, using approaches supported by shared facilities in proteomics, microscopy, cryo- EM, computational biology data and most recently human pluripotent cell culture. We are particularly seeking groups using human cell and tissue/organoid models to investigate molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying fundamental and disease biology.

Tenure Track and Mentoring Scheme

Career development PIs enter a Tenure Track Programme, including a defined mentoring scheme, leading to tenure assessment at 5-6 years.
