The University of Oxford is seeking to appoint to the Bukhman Professor of Type 1 Diabetes, a highly prestigious position within the Radcliffe Department of Medicine. Funded by a generous donation from the Bukhman Foundation, as part of a wider centre for research excellence in type 1 diabetes, the Bukhman Professor of Type 1 Diabetes will perform world-leading research that will help people with type 1 diabetes live a normal healthy life free of the burden of managing their blood glucose levels. This post is available as either a clinical or a non-clinical position. If appointed to a clinical post, you must be medically qualified and will be expected to participate in clinical activities as an NHS honorary consultant.

The Bukhman Professor of Type 1 Diabetes will have an outstanding research record of international stature in an area of translational science or experimental medicine related to type 1 diabetes such as immunology, genetics, gene therapy, cell therapy or clinical trials. The research you lead will aim to understand how disease mechanisms can be rapidly translated into therapeutic opportunities for type 1 diabetes. If clinical, within your sub-specialty clinical area(s), you will contribute to clinical care and clinical research. You will be strongly committed to the recruitment, training and mentoring of the next generation of researchers in the area.

As the Bukhman Professor of Type 1 Diabetes, and the expected Director of the centre, you will be pivotal in leading the Bukhman Centre for Research Excellence. You will also connect discovery science in RDM (including the Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine and other RDM sub-divisions) with related activities in other departments in the Medical Sciences Division (MSD) and the Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division, and with translational activities in the NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centres and other related programmes. Maintaining and expanding partnerships with industry, and engaging with current and emerging trends, is also a priority.

The ideal candidate will possess a compelling vision for the advancement of type 1 diabetes research over the next 10-15 years and the strategic leadership skills to drive this vision forward. A demonstrated history of innovative, collaborative research with national and international impact, in partnership with the NHS and industry, is essential.

The post will be based in the Radcliffe Department of Medicine and will also be associated with Green Templeton College. You will be part of a lively and intellectually stimulating research community that performs at the highest international levels in research and publications, and will have access to the excellent research facilities Oxford offers.

The Radcliffe Department of Medicine and Green Templeton College embrace diversity and inclusion in their recruitment campaigns and would welcome applications from candidates currently underrepresented in senior roles in the University, particularly women, candidates from minority ethnic backgrounds and disabled candidates with diverse backgrounds. The University of Oxford actively promotes and supports flexible working across sites. We can offer flexibility in the schedule and terms of the number of hours worked.
