Job description

We are recruiting for up to two Reader positions as part of a major expansion in research and education in the physical sciences of life at King’s College London.

These positions form part of a major £45m investment into interdisciplinary science at King’s, focused on boundary-breaking science research, education and innovation that benefits society. This investment is accelerating growth across science disciplines and stimulating new initiatives at the interfaces between traditional areas.

We are looking for talented academics with strong track records in research and education. Specific areas of interest include, but are not restricted to:
Integrating biological, biophysical, biochemical, mathematical and computational methods across scales: spanning molecules, cells, organs, organisms and populations

Leveraging complex and diverse datasets to understand biological processes and pathways

Developing and using physical and life science methodologies to study biological and physiological processes in real-time

Using chemical biology and synthetic chemistry to investigate or disrupt biological systems; for example, drug discovery, imaging, designer switches for regulatory cascades

This is an opportunity to contribute to the strategic growth of world-class research, working synergistically across disciplines, and identifying and growing promising early career researchers. We also wish to maximise the relevance of our work to society through engaged research that engages diverse audiences, especially in our local communities in London and beyond.

This post will be offered on an indefinite contract.

This is a full-time post.

Contribute to teaching of undergraduate and postgraduate students and curriculum development.

Plan, organise and deliver a range of teaching and assessment activities (e.g. lecturing, project supervision and tutorials) and leading on at least one substantive module/programme.

Supervise and train postgraduate and undergraduate students to ensure their effective development.

Supervise and train research and technical staff employed on the post holder’s research projects to ensure their effective development.

Engage in the dissemination of research through knowledge transfer, outreach, continuing professional development, public engagement etc.

Contribute fully to academic life and strategic planning within a Department/School and, where required/appropriate to the wider strategic planning processes in Faculty and University at an appropriate level.

Identify strategic development opportunities in teaching and research and contribute to the development of these ideas.

Contribute to driving and ensuring a positive and inclusive research culture.
