Lecturer, School of Biological Sciences
Job description
School of Biological Sciences
The School of Biological Sciences is large and diverse and provides a vibrant research and teaching environment with a strong collegiate culture. We have a global reputation for our research: two-thirds of our research was rated as 'world leading' or 'international excellent' in REF 2014.
The School of Biological Sciences
delivers undergraduate degree courses in Biomedical Science, Biochemistry, Biological Sciences, Genetics and Marine Biology, with around 900 students supported by over 100 academic, research and administrative staff. Our GBP 13.2 million STEM Teaching Centre, opened in September 2018, provides cutting edge laboratory teaching facilities. The School aims to provide students with a challenging and inspiring educational experience through research-led teaching. BSc Biomedical Science is our flagship degree course and is IBMS accredited. It is offered as a standard 3 year honours course or students may undertake an additional year of study abroad. Our 4 year BSc Biomedical Science (integrated) course has HCPC approval and students undertake a one-year placement in an NHS laboratory. This enables them to complete a portfolio for registration with HCPC and achieve a co-terminus award. In 2018-19, about 30 students are expected to take up placements at NHS laboratories throughout the Eastern region.
Duties of the Post
The University of Essex School of Biological Sciences is recruiting for two lecturers to join its Genomics and Computational Biology group. Founded in 2015, the group benefits from excellent lab and computational facilities and has had remarkable success in securing funding. Applicants are welcome from all disciplines relevant to genomics, but we are particularly interested in applicants that build on our strengths in epigenetics and chromatin, and social and environmental epigenomics.
The postholders will be required to conduct internationally excellent research and demonstrate this through publications in high quality peer-reviewed journals and other outlets. The post-holders will be expected to develop and execute a strategy for raising research income to sustain an active, internationally competitive research programme. This should be in the context of developing a network of national and international collaborations. As part of the School's research-led teaching ethos, the postholders will be expected to develop innovative learning materials, teach at undergraduate and postgraduate level and supervise PhD students in the areas of genetics, genomics and computational biology. The School puts a high value on collegiality that helps to foster the smooth running of our academic community. Therefore, the postholders should expect to be assigned administrative duties from time to time as requested by the Head of School or their nominee.
Appointment will be made as Lecturer.
Qualifications/Skills Required
The postholders will have a PhD in a relevant discipline and a demonstrable track record of research at postdoctoral level in an aspect of Genomics and Computational Biology aligned to the research group's core themes. Applicants will be required to demonstrate how their experience complements and extends the relevant research in the School and provide evidence of successful collaborative research with colleagues in their home institution and a network of researchers nationally and/or internationally. The postholders must be excellent communicators and be able to explain their research to audiences ranging from their peers to the general public. The postholders should have the necessary interpersonal skills that will allow effective interaction with their colleagues, our students and the general public.
We particularly welcome applications from those from an ethnic minority as they are underrepresented in the School of Biological Sciences.
At the University of Essex internationalism is central to who we are and what we do. We are committed to being a cosmopolitan, internationally-oriented university that is welcoming to staff and students from all countries and a university where you can find the world in one place.
Please see the further detail link below for a full job description and person specification which outlines the full duties, skills, qualifications and experience needed for this role plus more information relating to the post. We recommend you read this information carefully before making an application. Applications should be made on-line, but if you would like advice or help in making an application, or need information in a different format, please telephone the Resourcing Team (01206 876559).
