The School of Science (www.gre.ac.uk/es/science) at the University of Greenwich is a large interdisciplinary School, covering biological sciences, biomedical sciences, food and nutrition, chemistry, pharmaceutical sciences, and forensic science. We have ambitious research and teaching plans as part of our new University Strategy “This is our time” to ensure that our students are fully prepared for future careers. Collegiality and interdisciplinary research and teaching are key features of the School. Our School is based at the historic Medway campus and boasts amazing learning spaces with state-of-the-art laboratories and lecture theatres.

As part of our ongoing development and expansion of biological, biomedical sciences and forensic science provision within the University, we are seeking to appoint a permanent lecturer/senior lecturer (teaching & research) in genetics (broadest sense). The post holder will have a strong track record at the national and international levels and will establish their own independent research programme. For appointment as Senior Lecturer, you will also have a proven track record of attracting external research and other grants.   

Applicants will also be expected to contribute high quality teaching within the School and will be responsible for lectures, tutorials and laboratory classes on the biology, biomedical sciences and forensic sciences degree programmes, as well as academic duties including student assessment, marking and pastoral support. Further, with molecular techniques routinely used for diagnosis and investigation within biosciences and forensics, we seek to appoint a geneticist with knowledge and experience in these methods.

This is an exciting opportunity for a suitably motivated individual to help shape the future of bioscience research and teaching provision within the School.

The post will be based in the School of Science on the Medway campus.
