Lecturers and Associate Professors

We are seeking to recruit a Senior Lecturer or Associate Professor (Reader) in Predictive In Vitro Models to strengthen the University's leadership in technology‑driven biomedical research and advance our 3

Rs agenda. As a Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor, you will be expected to develop and lead a significant externally funded programme of research in line with the Faculty of Health and Medical Science's mission of sustainably improving the health and wellbeing of humans and animals, and their environments through new knowledge and its application to the design, development and delivery of responsible innovation and impact.

Within the School of Veterinary Medicine, you will join the Section of Molecular Cellular Medicine within the Discipline of Comparative Biomedical Sciences. In the role you will:

• Establish and lead a sustainable research group, developing complex, multi‑organ in vitro models for predictive disease research
• Work collaboratively with other researchers in the School to design and develop applications of in vitro models in their research areas
• Generate high quality publications and demonstrable impact
• Secure significant external research income to support the work of your research group
• Foster cross‑disciplinary collaborations, including in silico modelling e.g. digital twins
• Enhance industry engagement and translational research impact.
• Mentor postgraduate research students and postdoctoral fellows
• Make high quality, research‑led contributions to undergraduate and postgraduate teaching within the School, including on the RCVS‑accredited BVMSci veterinary degree course.

Our Senior Lecturers and Associate Professors play an important role in advancing research and innovation and influencing the future of the veterinary profession. As such, you will have:

• Proven track record in technology‑driven in vitro model development.
• Evidence of real‑world application of models across multiple research fields.
• Ability to contribute to 3
  
  Rs objectives in cancer, pain, vascular and gut research.
• A proven track record of substantial external research grant income generation.
• A proven commitment to delivery of inspiring, engaging learning and teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate level.
• Experience in silico modelling collaborations to enhance predictive power and a strong track record of cross‑sector partnerships (academia, industry, regulatory bodies) are desirable.
