Assistant Professor / Associate Professor in the area of Bioenergetics or Microbiology

All new faculty are assigned a mentoring committee that advises them on all aspects of setting up a successful research group. They also receive grant writing and submission support and can recruit from a diverse pool of PhD students from various programmes across the University. The appointment provides access to state of the art animal facilities and core facilities for imaging, proteomics, and genomics. The Department is part of the School of the Biological Sciences and we are closely associated with the Gurdon Institute, Cambridge Stem Cell Institute, MRC Toxicology Unit and provide many opportunities for interactions with the broader Cambridge community.

Key responsibilities are to develop and conduct a world-leading research programme; teaching undergraduates; advising postgraduate students and post-docs; and other duties associated with academic life. There is the opportunity to become a Fellow of a College.

Applicants will have a PhD in a relevant subject area and show evidence of leading a successful research programme. Demonstrable, strong commitment to teaching and advising is desired. The University values diversity and is committed to equality of opportunity and all suitably qualified persons are encouraged to apply. We particularly encourage people from under-represented groups to apply.
