Applications are invited for an Assistant or Associate Professorship in Pathogen Genetics to be held in the Department of Genetics. We are searching for a talented individual with a track record of fundamental or applied research on the genetics of pathogens or host-pathogen interactions and a strong commitment to teaching. The post is available from 1st October 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter.
We welcome applications from researchers in the broad field of pathogen biology, whose research addresses fundamental questions at any level of biological organisation, including molecular and cellular mechanisms of infection, immunity and resistance, dynamics within hosts and populations, and evolution and population genetics. Research can focus on any pathogen or host, including humans, other animals and plants. We are particularly interested in candidates who use genetic and genomic approaches, whether experimental, computational or theoretical.
The successful applicant will have a PhD in a relevant subject area and show evidence of research excellence that is reflected in their published work (including pre-prints), as well as the vision and ability to attract grant funding to support an internationally leading research programme (including a track record commensurate with experience). Applicants will also have an aptitude and enthusiasm for teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate levels and will be expected to contribute to the teaching and other academic activities in the Department. The successful applicant will be motivated to develop innovative teaching in the School of Biological Sciences, across areas such as genetics, pathogen biology, mathematical biology or evolution.
