Are you an experienced and influential academic with the proven ability to carry out teaching and research in cardiac function at molecular and/or cellular levels? Do you have an excellent research track record, proven success obtaining funding and the vision and drive to tackle new challenges? Are you passionate about delivering world leading research and an exceptional student experience?
As Associate Professor, you will carry out research, teaching and management within the school, faculty and university and contribute to academic leadership in the field of molecular and cellular aspects of heart function.
You will work closely with members of our Cardiovascular and Exercise Sciences research community. The mission statement for this pillar of activity is to integrate fundamental, clinical, and population-focussed research across heart function, neuromuscular and physical activity, into holistic approaches that provide novel insight into human health and generate local and global impact. This post is ideally suited to researchers with a proven record in studying the fundamental mechanisms of cardiac function in health and disease to form the foundation of our mission. As a molecular or cellular researcher, you would also develop close ties with the membrane biology cohort in Biomedical Sciences, The Astbury Centre for Structural Molecular Biology as well as the Biodiscovery teams utilising the soon to be built Cheney Centre.
