You will be an enthusiastic and friendly professional with excellent communication and interpersonal skills coupled with a commitment to providing an excellent student experience. An established or promising research profile in biochemistry and teaching experience on relevant undergraduate programmes is essential. A background in some aspect of biochemistry, with supporting qualifications and experience is essential. We welcome applications from any area of biochemistry, but we are particularly interested in individuals working in biomedical science and/or cell biology who would contribute to new or existing course content on our relevant degrees.

To be successful you will further enrich our students experience through your expertise and subject knowledge as evidenced through your qualifications and experience. In return, you will join a forward thinking and dynamic team that pushes the boundaries of curriculum development within biochemistry and biomedical science.
