**Job Title:** Associate Professor of Molecular Biology and Evolution

The University of Cambridge's School of Biological Sciences seeks an Associate Professor to contribute to its research strategy in molecular biology and evolution.

We require a researcher with a strong track record in molecular biology and evolution.
