Associate Professorship of Experimental Pathology

1 week ago


Oxford, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time

We are seeking to appoint an Associate Professor of Experimental Pathology to be based in Oxford University’s Sir William Dunn School of Pathology. The role of Associate Professor is an exciting opportunity to pursue an independent programme of research in a thriving scientific community, while also contributing to undergraduate and graduate teaching at both departmental and collegiate level.

The Dunn School has an outstanding track record in biomedical research, with a particular focus on the fundamental cell and molecular biology underlying a broad range of disease mechanisms. It provides a stimulating and supportive community environment with access to excellent scientific facilities and support services, both within the department and across the wider Oxford community. 

The department is in an exciting period of growth and renewal, so this tenure-track position is an opportunity to help shape and develop its historic strengths in the underlying biology of the causes and treatment of human disease, and to integrate them further with Oxford’s thriving biomedical community. 

You will have a higher degree and a track record of internationally competitive research and publications. We are especially keen to make an appointment in the research areas of immunology, inflammation or infection, all defined broadly. You will have a demonstrable commitment to, and ideally relevant experience in, training and mentoring of graduate students, and undergraduate teaching. You will also value collegiality and a supportive and diverse working environment.

The Dunn School can offer high quality laboratory space and funding to cover the post-holder’s salary. It may also be possible to negotiate additional initial support.

The postholder will be elected to a Tutorial Fellowship at Brasenose College and significant additional benefits are offered by the College, set out in the Job Description.

The University of Oxford is a member of the Athena SWAN Charter to promote women in Science, Engineering, Technology and Medicine. The University holds an Athena SWAN silver award at institutional level, and the Dunn School holds an Athena SWAN silver award.

If you would like to discuss this post, please contact the Head of Department, Professor Matthew Freeman (matthew.freeman@path.ox.ac.uk). Questions about the application process should be addressed to the Dunn School Head of Human Resources Andrew Souter (andrew.souter@path.ox.ac.uk). Candidates may also contact the Senior Tutor of the College, Dr Simon Smith (simon.smith@bnc.ox.ac.uk) specifically about the College side of the role. All enquiries will be treated in strict confidence and will not form part of the selection process.

The closing date for applications is 12:00 noon on 25th October 2024. It is expected that shortlisted candidates will be invited to the Dunn School and Brasenose College to give a seminar between December 2024 and February 2025. Interviews will be held in March 2025.

Applications are particularly welcome from women and black and minority ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in academic posts in Oxford.

£54,395 to £73,041 (Associate Professor Grade 10a) - per annum plus substantial additional benefits including a College housing allowance of £15,233 p.a. and a research allowance of £2,260 per annum
