Vacancy Reference Number: 174867
Closing Date: 18 Nov 2024
Salary: £54,395 - £73,041 p.a., plus housing and research allowance (up to £12,300)
Duration: open ended

The Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics (DPAG) is seeking to appoint two full-time Associate Professors of Neuroscience to complement existing research in the Department and across the University in the neurobiology of disease and fundamental cellular and systems neuroscience. This is a joint appointment with either St Hilda’s College or Pembroke College: you will be a member of DPAG as well as a Tutorial Fellow at either College.

The role will involve undertaking independent research, undergraduate and graduate teaching, and graduate supervision. It will also encompass administrative and pastoral duties for the department and college. DPAG is part of the University’s Medical Sciences Division and holds a world-leading position in the QS World University Rankings.

As Associate Professor, you will be expected to carry out high-level original and independent research in an area complementary to the department’s Research Centre for Neuroscience. The main duties of this post will be to undertake discovery science, secure external funding to prosecute an independent research programme, and educate undergraduate and postgraduate students. You will have an ability to contribute to the teaching and training of pre-clinical students studying for the degree of Bachelor of Medicine for the Department and College, and of non-medical students studying the Biomedical Sciences degree course.

You should have a higher degree (DPhil/PhD) in a relevant area of research; show evidence of excellence in undergraduate and graduate teaching, supervision, and research training, and have a commitment to the organisation and delivery of teaching. You will show evidence of substantial independent research accomplishment and a strong publication record, as well as evidence of a substantial and realizable research plan, which will complement the department’s research strategy. You should also have the ability and willingness to undertake a proportionate share of administrative duties within the Department and the College when called upon, and a commitment to the academic and pastoral support of students.

Applications are particularly welcome from women, black and minority ethnic candidates, who are underrepresented in academic posts in Oxford.
