Job description
About the Role Permanent academic role subject to 5 year academic probation. The successful candidate will contribute to the formation of cross-departmental cluster of excellence led by Professor Satyajit Mayor, a world-leading researcher who has used a combination of soft condensed matter physics, computational simulation, organic chemistry, advanced cell imaging, in vitro reconstitution, and cell engineering to uncover how the cell membrane is organised at a nanometer scale-resolution (nanoscale). Professor Mayor is particularly known for pioneering fluoescence anisotropy imaging, fluoescence correlation and cross-correlation spectroscopy to advance our understanding of the cell surface. This appointment will further strengthen the activities of Centre for Mechanochemical Cell Biology (CMCB), a pre-eminent centre in the UK for research into the roles of molecular motors and mechanics in cell and developmental biology, which already has Balasubramanian, Saunders, Köster and Royle working in this area. Successful candidates will form part of a team of interdisciplinary scientists looking at ‘cellular interfaces.’ We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so. Full details of the duties and selection criteria for this role can be found in the vacancy advert on the University of Warwick's jobs pages.
