Applicants with a focus on Immunology, Stem cells and Regenerative medicine are particularly encouraged to apply. An additional focus on the biology of membranes and their components in these settings is highly desirable. All applicants must demonstrate an alignment with our existing research programmes and ideally be able to strengthen our research through their addition to our team.

Applicants should also be able to demonstrate a history of effective teaching and an enthusiasm for flexible teaching across the range of programmes (UG: Biochemistry, Biological and Biomedical Sciences; PG: MSc Stem Cells & Regenerative Medicine; Biosciences MRes). Experience of teaching in Immunology, Stem Cells, and Regenerative medicine and/or Cell Signalling/Endocrinology would be advantageous.

Any application must be able to demonstrate your necessary teamwork skills to foster collaboration with existing Biosciences colleagues and to build links both within the University and externally, including the aptitude and ability to engage in continuous professional development. You should clearly state how your appointment will build further critical mass within the School and support the University mission through high quality, exploitable research that is accessible for business and has a positive impact on society.
