The University of Greenwich is undergoing an exciting transformation, with the launch of a new strategy motivated by an ethos of ‘Education without Boundaries’. This is already driving exceptional performance as evidenced in our recent REF2021 outcome which saw a significant improvement in our research quality and volume across all subject areas, leading to an increase of 25 places based on grade point average (GPA), the fourth highest increase in the sector.

To maintain this impetus for growth and success, the University of Greenwich is seeking to appoint a Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Bioinformatics within the School of Science (www.gre.ac.uk/es/science). This post will extend our academic staff base to support the expansion of this dynamic discipline at the University. 

We are looking for an experienced Bioinformatician able to conduct innovative, high-quality, specialism-related, teaching and research across a breadth of academic levels and scientific disciplines. An assessment of seniority (lecturer/senior lecturer) will be made as part of the recruitment process.

The role holder will focus on delivering exceptional educational provision in a variety of formats, as well as making a strong, positive contribution to the School’s academic research profile and student experience, as well as adding value to the University’s objectives in relation to achieving overall excellence.
