Coventry, United Kingdom University of Warwick Full time

**Location***

University of Warwick Campus, Coventry

**Department***

Warwick Medical School - Biomedical Sciences

**Position Type***

Fixed Term, Full Time

**Duration***

Fixed term for 3 years, with a possible extension until the end of 2029

**Salary***

£45,585 to £54,395 per annum

**About the Role***

This is an excellence cluster that expands, diversifies and leverages the activities of the Centre for Mechanochemical Cell Biology (CMCB).

The cellular interfaces cluster is led by Professor Satyajit Mayor, a world-leading researcher who has made fundamental contributions towards our understanding of how the cell membrane is organised at a nanometer scale and how this impacts cell and tissue scale biology.

**About You***
- Conduct fundamental research in the field, communicate your research in peer reviewed journals and secure external research fellowships and/or grants
- Mentor and guide students in their academic and research endeavours and contribute to the wider activities of the department
- Collaborate with colleagues to contribute to the growth of the cross-departmental excellence cluster
- Contribute to the development of high-quality undergraduate and postgraduate teaching.

**About the Department***

**Our Ambition for the Centre for Mechanochemical Cell Biology (CMCB)**

This work will make a unique contribution to the UK and global research landscapes. Whilst there are already some excellent research centres in membrane biology in the UK, this work will consider the cell surface as a composite of lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and the underlying cytoskeleton and seek to understand the cell surface in its entirety. It will also draw substantially on principles from soft condensed matter and experimental physics, organic chemistry, and computational simulation to understand the cell surface as a chemical composite.

Further, the focus in many UK-based centres is to understand important molecular mechanisms of medically focused questions that lead to drug discovery and protein-based therapies. By contrast, we aim to understand cell surface organisation (fromnano to mesoscales) that leads to cell and tissue scale morphogenesis. This integrated approach to the science of the cell surface, which is so fundamentally important for all aspects of life on our planet, has the strong potential to lead to innovative solutions that will benefit the wide public.

In addition, the co-location of this new team alongside existing CMCB colleagues will facilitate unique and new collaborations between researchers working on ‘how transport of molecules and cell parts are orchestrated’ and those working on ‘how the cell surface is assembled and how it functions.’

CMCB researchers have expertise in measuring forces generated by individual molecules (in the order of piconewtons). This, and similar transferable technologies, can be implemented to address cell surface level questions. The expansion of this team will drive the sharing of expertise and equipment and will build a vigorous research culture focused on making new discoveries that may not be readily possible elsewhere.

The wider University also brings long-standing strengths in mathematics and a £400M STEM Grand Challenge that will provide physical sciences infrastructure for the next century and an ambition to drive medical technology, artificial intelligence and digital health.

WMS is a young medical school with big ambitions and a track record of success across research, innovation, and education. Translational research is at the heart of our strategic ambition. We are committed to leveraging cutting-edge interdisciplinary research that seeks to intercept human disease and health challenges before symptoms manifest and to develop/test/evaluate interventions that can curtail disease progression and limit impact on human populations. We strive to be innovative, bold, interdisciplinary, and inspiring, while ensuring a positive research culture and an advocacy for open science.

The University of Warwick is one of the UK’s remarkable success stories. Within 50 years, we have become one of the country’s best universities, consistently in the top 10 of UK league tables and rapidly climbing the international rankings of world-class universities. We are a centre of excellence for learning and research with an ambition to innovate and build partnerships with industry and the health care sector.

**About the University***

Born in the 60s with a mindset of boldness, imagination and collaboration, the University of Warwick is a world-leading research-intensive university with the highest academic and research standards. We’re one of the world’s top universities, ranked 67th in the world and 10th in the UK*, with 92% of our research assessed to be ‘world leading or internationally excellent’**.

You'll be joining a diverse, innovative and globally connected community committed to igniting real world progress. Here at Warwick, we offe
