Biosciences is one of the world's foremost centres for research and teaching in the biological sciences and one of the largest Divisions within UCL, undertaking a significant amount of research and teaching. The Division has a diverse portfolio addressing all areas of biology from protein interactions to cell function, organism development, genetics, population studies and the environment. Computational modelling approaches are frequently used alongside experimental research programmes and much of our research crosses traditional boundaries, including the relationship of biodiversity to the health of the planet. Activity is underpinned by high calibre science technology platforms and state of the art equipment. Educational activity includes a range of undergraduate programmes, an expanding number of Masters Programmes and a substantial number of postgraduate research students.
This is an exciting opportunity for two new Lecturers to join UCL in the Faculty of Life Sciences, which is one of the largest in UCL with over 900 staff and over 3,500 students and a diverse portfolio of research and teaching.
The Department of Neuroscience, Physiology and Pharmacology (NPP) is internationally-renowned for its fundamental research that incorporates cellular, molecular and systems-based studies of neurotransmitter receptors and ion channels, animal and brain physiology, neural networks, and associated signalling pathways.
We are seeking two outstanding candidates. Individuals with a strong track record in neuroscience, physiology and/or pharmacology are encouraged to apply, but we are particularly interested in applications from outstanding researchers in cellular and molecular areas of research to expand our expertise in these areas.
Teaching undergraduates and postgraduates in the fields of Neuroscience, Physiology and Pharmacology is an essential part of the post.
