Assistant/Associate Professor in Computational Biology

Assistant/Associate Professor in Computational Biology

University of Cambridge

Cambridge, United Kingdom

Applicants should hold a PhD or equivalent and be able to demonstrate an outstanding research track record within the broad area of Computational Biology. Applications are particularly encouraged from those in areas that complements and extends pre-existing strengths across Computational Biology at the University of Cambridge. An ability to teach in either the Mathematical Tripos or Natural Science Tripos is essential. Experience in encouraging and supporting applicants and students from groups underrepresented in STEM subjects, including women will be an advantage.

This is one of two faculty positions in support of our MPhil in Computational Biology hosted in DAMTP. Applicants will be expected to give undergraduate and masters-level lectures, in particular contributing to the redesign of the MPhil in Computational Biology. The expected teaching load is likely to be two 24-hour courses per year, plus examination of those courses. Applicants will also take feedback from students and provide career or pastoral advice to them, as well as performing other usual departmental duties, e.g. interviewing students. They will be expected to investigate new areas of research, seek out new funding opportunities and submit grant applications. They will also be required to write papers for publication, attend conferences, network with national/international colleagues and give presentations.
