Form of work
Salary We are recruiting for up to two Lecturer / Senior Lecturer positions as part of a major expansion in research and education in the Physical Sciences of Life at King's College London.
These positions form part of a major GBP45m investment into interdisciplinary science at King's, focused on boundary-breaking science research, education and innovation that benefits society. This investment is accelerating growth across science disciplines and stimulating new initiatives at the interfaces between traditional areas.
We are looking for talented academics with strong track records in research and education. Specific areas of interest include, but are not restricted to:
Applying interdisciplinary empirical, analytical and modelling approaches to understand the complexity of living systems in health and disease.
Integrating biological, biophysical, biochemical, mathematical and computational methods across scales: spanning molecules, cells, organs, organisms and populations.
Leveraging complex and diverse datasets to understand biological processes and pathways.
Developing and using physical and life science methodologies to study biological and physiological processes in real-time.
Using chemical biology and synthetic chemistry to investigate or disrupt biological systems; for example, drug discovery, imaging, designer switches for regulatory cascades.
Successful candidates will play a key role in developing and executing internationally leading research, working collaboratively across King's. You will have a strong research track record, demonstrating interdisciplinary engagement, and be ready to establish and grow a research programme that attracts external funding. You will also be committed to educating scientists of the future through a range of undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes, including innovative new programmes in Natural Sciences.
This is an opportunity to contribute to the strategic growth of world-class research, working synergistically across disciplines, and identifying and growing promising early career researchers. We also wish to maximise the relevance of our work to society through engaged research that engages diverse audiences, especially in our local communities in London and beyond.
It is important that King's reflects the diversity of the population we serve, and we strongly encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds.
Shortlisted candidates will be consulted on appropriate discipline areas and host departments as part of the selection and interview process.
