ABOUT THE ROLE

The Department of Metabolism, Digestion and Reproduction invites applications for a Lecturer post in Cell Biology. The postholder will work closely with academic and research staff within the Section of Cell Biology and Functional Genomics at the Division of Diabetes, Endocrinology, and Metabolism, as well as across the wider Department and Faculty. We seek applicants with a strong research interest and an excellent upwards trajectory in diabetes research, focused on the study of pancreatic islets and/or other relevant cell systems, to establish an independent research programme in areas including, but not limited to, cell signalling, regulation of gene expression, novel therapeutic targets and/or regenerative medicine, to complement the Section’s portfolio of research in both basic and translational cell biology of diabetes and metabolism.

WHAT YOU WOULD BE DOING

The successful candidates will work in a vibrant environment and will be expected to make a significant contribution to diabetes research as well as to undertake undergraduate and graduate teaching responsibilities in this broad area, with opportunities for leadership roles within education. It is expected that the postholder will demonstrate a strong contribution to both research and teaching, with a growing national/international presence in the fields of cell biology and diabetes, including by securing external funding and delivering successful research outcomes.
