Assistant Professor in the School of Molecular Life Sciences

The School of Molecular Life Sciences is a collaborative, research-intensive community focused on understanding how molecular and cellular systems function in health, disease, and the environment. Our research spans fundamental discovery through translational application, with strengths in defining molecular mechanisms, understanding interactions among cells, microbes, and their environments, and developing new approaches to diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. This position will advance the School’s strategic priority to strengthen biochemistry as a core area of research and teaching, while expanding capacity in Molecular and Microbial Pathogenesis and Genome Biology and Cell Signalling.

We seek an exceptional scientist with a creative and ambitious research program that addresses fundamental questions in the molecular life sciences. We particularly encourage applications from researchers who employ innovative biochemical approaches to advance our understanding of fundamental molecular and cellular processes. The successful candidate will demonstrate the potential to establish a leading independent research program that complements, strengthens, or expands the School's research expertise and contributes to its collaborative research environment.
