Successful candidates will have an outstanding track record in an area that is broadly aligned to the Department's research interests and fits within its five broad research themes: Cell Biology, Development and Genetics; Chromosomal and RNA Biology; Infection and Disease Processes; Microbiology and Systems Biology; Structural Biology, Computational Biology and Molecular Biophysics.
What we can offer
We offer a dynamic, collaborative, and multidisciplinary research environment with state-of-the-art facilities and access to excellent infrastructure and expertise in the wider Oxford area. Fellows benefit from a comprehensive mentoring programme and career support and have the opportunity to recruit outstanding undergraduates and postgraduates.
The Department of Biochemistry actively supports equality, diversity and inclusion and encourages applications from all sections of society. Applications are particularly welcome from women, and black and minority ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in independent fellowship posts. The Department offers flexible working hours, generous family leave, and a support system for childcare. We understand the importance of work-life balance and are dedicated to helping all members of our community to thrive both professionally and personally.
The University of Oxford is a member of the Athena Swan Charter and holds an institutional Silver Athena SWAN award.

Oxford University is one of only 10 UK Universities to have been awarded a Race Equality Charter Bronze Award.
