Description
Seven Faculty positions in Biological Sciences, including Microbial Biofilms, Plant Sciences, Neuroscience, Computational Biology, Advanced Cell Models and Biological Sciences.
As part of an ambitious and ongoing plan for strategic growth in Biosciences at the University of Southampton, we are recruiting seven new Faculty members. You may be an early career researcher looking to take that first step to independence or a leader in your field excited by the opportunity to shape the life-science agenda at the University of Southampton; a top 100 University in the QS World Rankings. Whatever stage of your career, you will join a friendly, highly collegial, supportive and collaborative research environment.
Our research themes span molecular and precision bioscience, cell and developmental biology, neuroscience, microbiology, plants and food security, and ecology and evolution, with our research ranked in the top 10 for impact (REF2021).
MICROBIAL BIOFILMS (Associate Professor / Professor) You will be a microbiologist with experience in the biology and mechanisms of microbial biofilms as relevant to their structure, function, or interactions within complex microbial communities. Affiliated to the National Biofilms Innovation Centre (NBIC) at Southampton, the ideal candidate will have leadership experience and contribute to enhancing NBIC’s reputation as a leading and internationally recognised centre for biofilm research and innovation.
PLANT SCIENCES (Associate Professor / Professor) With expertise in plant biochemistry, physiology or developmental biology, your research will address fundamental questions in the field, potentially addressing today's key societal challenges. You will join a growing team of researchers investigating areas from fundamental plant science to the interactions of plants with their environment.
