Location: South Kensington Campus

Job Summary

The Department of Infectious Disease at Imperial College London is seeking an enthusiastic, outstanding academic for the post of Lecturer or Senior Lecturer in Bacterial Vaccinology. Infectious Disease is one of eight departments within the Faculty of Medicine. The Department provides a world-class research environment where scientists from clinical and non-clinical backgrounds work together to address the unmet clinical needs for infectious disease control on a global scale. Many members of the department are associates of the newly formed Institute of Infection which provides a forum for cross Faculty and multidisciplinary approaches to combatting infectious disease.

The Department has six sections, including the Section of Paediatric Infectious Disease which will host the new appointment. The Section works on improving diagnosis, treatment and prevention of globally important severe and life-threatening infections in children. It has a long track-record of world-leading translational research into severe bacterial infections which has contributed to improvements in prevention and treatment. This post also supports the Department's strategic aim to expand its bacterial vaccinology research, and will align with initiatives and expertise in other Sections within the Department.

Duties and responsibilities

You will be expected to bring or develop a research programme focusing on bacterial vaccinology, evidenced by a compelling vision for your research programme. You will have a relevant background in vaccinology, bacterial pathogenesis, immunology, and/or infectious diseases, AND a track record of innovative research, evidenced by publications and obtaining competitive funding in these areas. You will be expected to work collaboratively across the Section, the Department and the wider Faculty of Medicine and other Faculties of Imperial College.

You will also be involved in teaching responsibilities. The Department hosts three Masters of Science courses, in Applied Paediatrics, in Molecular Medicine and in Molecular Biology and Pathogenesis of Viruses; runs 2 streams of the MRes in Biomedical Research (Molecular basis of human disease and Bacterial pathogenesis and infection), and also contributes to undergraduate courses in Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. You will be expected to contribute teaching sessions for some of these courses and to host project students in your laboratory.

Essential requirements

Commensurate with the level of the appointment, you should have, or be developing, a national or international reputation in bacterial vaccinology. You should have potential to lead an expanding programme of impactful research in this area. It is essential that you hold a PhD or equivalent in vaccinology, immunology, bacteriology, or an appropriate related field. You will have a publication record that demonstrates significant contributions to your field and the ability to independently publish high quality research in peer reviewed journals and to independently obtain research funding. You may also hold patents and have experience of entrepreneurial exploitation of your research outputs. You will have enthusiasm for, and experience of, teaching and supervision at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and supporting the development of others. You will be committed to developing an inclusive, supportive and tolerant work environment, in line with the vision and values of Imperial College.
