About the Role
We are seeking to recruit a highly motivated and research-driven Lecturer in Engineering Biology to join our Department of Biochemistry. This is a fantastic opportunity for an individual with a strong publication record and a keen interest in establishing their research group in this discipline.
About You
The successful candidate will have demonstrated an ability to contribute to Engineering Biology, Synthetic Biology or Microbial Biotechnology.

In addition, we offer a range of work life balance and family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, and campus facilities including an on-site nursery at the Mile End campus.
