Birmingham, United Kingdom University of Birmingham Full time

**The Centre for Environmental Research and Justice (CERJ)** combines modern science with law to make the environment safe from toxic chemicals via “action research”. Collaboration and teamwork is at the heart of the Centre. Its mission is to help remedy harm to human health and the environment caused by pollution. A scientific objective of the Centre is to advance an emerging field called Precision Toxicology. Environmental justice is achieved by improving evidence-based governance interventions. Unlike traditional academic pursuits which oftentimes divide global problems into research silos, this transdisciplinary research centre creates conditions for people to proactively uncover - and ultimately break - the chains of cause and effect that link chemicals to their toxicity to humans and the environment.

The University of Birmingham also has a strong record in leading the way around interdisciplinary education. CERJ and the staff allied to it will be able to contribute their breadth of knowledge across multiple degree programmes offered by the university and the Centre and will be hosts to undergraduate and postgraduate research students.

- contributing original research that advances our understanding of how biological systems function and are perturbed by environmental challenges (e.g., exposure to toxic chemicals);
- developing new knowledge and modern biomolecular and/or cellular biology and/or computational techniques and experimental methods to measure molecular events that are relevant to a system’s function, which may include using alternative test systems (e.g., in vitro models and NAMs) ;
- contribute to the transformation of toxicology into foundational science;
- contributing directly (0.4 FTE) to the University’s research as a significant player in PARC: European Partnership for the Assessment of Risks from Chemicals and supervising other research staff, students and professional service staff;

Over the first five years, you will build your contributions across the range of teaching and learning activities:

- training in systems biology, network biology, statistics, modelling and methods that may include genetics, functional genomics (i.e., transcriptomics), metabolomics, in vitro (cell-based) biology;
- making a significant contribution to the pedagogical knowledge base of cell or animal biology applied to environmental science or toxicology that advances teaching through the enhancement of practice, the development of teaching resources and/or through practice-based research;
- leading on curriculum design at module and programme level to ensure it is contemporary, inclusive, engaging and academically challenging;
- actively engaging students in curriculum design;
- developing an external profile evidenced through engaging in external quality assurance activities related to teaching, e.g., external examining and engaging with/supporting education in other institutions;
