Lecturer in Medical Genomics

Due to the success and growth of our programmes the School the School now wishes to appoint a Lecturer in the Medical Genomics Subject Area to further strengthen its activities.   Applicants should demonstrate their independent research and should be committed to high quality research-led teaching. We are particularly interested in candidates with expertise in genomics related to human health and associated computational methodologies to analyse and interpret human genomes and/or their microbiomes. Fields may include applications such as multi-omics, bioinformatics, non/communicable disease and/or host/microbiome interaction.  We are also particularly interested in candidates with demonstrable existing links to industry, including clinical partners.  Applicants should demonstrate their track record in research and should be able to demonstrate their independent research plans and commitment to high quality research-led teaching.

The Biomedicine team delivers a range of well-respected programmes at undergraduate and taught postgraduate levels, which carry accreditation by the Institute of Biomedical Science and Royal Society of Biology. Current undergraduate teaching is centred around IBMS accredited BSc Biomedical Science, RSB accredited Human Biology and Infectious Disease, and the IBMS Healthcare Science Practitioner Degree Apprenticeship. At MSc level, taught provision includes Biomedical Science, Biotechnology and Drug Design and Discovery.

The new posts will belong to the Biomedical Research and Innovation Centre (BRIC) which brings together a vibrant and collaborative community of scientists to address critical challenges faced by society.
