Detail information about job University Lectureship in Synthetic Biology. Terms and conditions vacancy
Applications are invited for a University Lectureship in Synthetic Biology at the University of Cambridge. This is a tenure-track position based in the Department of Engineering and is supported by the School of Biological Sciences (SBS). We particularly encourage applicants who complement current research within EngineeringSBS and across the University, and who are motivated to explore interdisciplinary collaborations. The successful candidate will have an established DNA-based experimental research program in a topic including, but not limited to:
- Design and engineering of synthetic genetic circuits (both cellular and cell-free)
- Genome engineering
- Bio sensing and biological signal processing
- Spatio-temporal gene regulation
- Engineering of multicellular interactions and tissue structure/function.
In addition, research may combine theoretical and numerical approaches with experiments. The successful candidate will have, or be expected to develop, a record of world-class research commensurate with the international reputation and top-rank research rating of the Department.
The candidate will be expected to contribute exciting and innovative teaching material to our rapidly growing bioengineering courses in the Engineering curriculum, with teaching and administration accounting for approximately 40% of the role. Teaching responsibilities will include contributing to undergraduate courses, supervising undergraduate projects, examining and supervising postgraduate students.
