About you

In our department we offer an exceptional environment for research teaching and learning and we wish to support you in reaching your potential for internationally leading research, in the broad field of chemical biology.

We would be interested to hear from you if your research interests lie in chemical biology in the widest sense (a non-exhaustive list would be biocatalysis, chemical proteomics, robotics/digital chemistry, biopolymers). This could be an experimental and/or computational position.

If you have experience interacting with and complementing existing research within a department this would be advantageous.

You should hold a PhD and be able to demonstrate the potential to develop an internationally leading research programme, to acquire significant funding from UK and international sources, and to produce high quality publications.

Application Requirements & Selection Process:

Please provide both research and teaching statements of up to two pages for each in addition to a full CV and a statement of commitment to EDI.

Your research statement needs to outline your plans and intentions for research activity and grant capture over the coming five years. This document will be treated in the strictest confidence and with full respect for ownership. The teaching vision should outline your areas of teaching expertise and a range of potential teaching subjects as well as course development interests. These are mandatory components of the selection process, without which we will be unable to progress your application.

For informal discussion about the role, please contact Professor Matthew Jones, Head of Department ([email protected]), Dr Dan Pantos, Head of Organic Chemistry ([email protected]) or Dr Gan Shermer, Director of Teaching ([email protected]).

We are committed to providing a supportive and inclusive working environment for all staff, including mentorship and flexible working arrangements.

The Department and the University both currently hold Athena SWAN Silver awards, and we are working to further improve equality, diversity and inclusion.

If you would like to discuss any EDI issues or other aspects of the working environment with a member of staff who is not involved in the recruitment process, please contact Professor Petra Cameron ([email protected]).

Interviews and presentations are scheduled for 9th and 10th December.
