The Cell Biology Division of the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB), a research institute within UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), invites applications for a tenure-track Group Leader position.

The position comes with funding sufficient to run a small research group and free access to core facilities. The LMB has an exceptional record of ground-breaking research and is housed in a modern building with outstanding facilities including those for light and electron microscopy, mass spectrometry, flow cytometry, and electronic and mechanical workshops.
