Description :

The School of Life Sciences seeks applications for an Assistant Professor in Human Physiology and/or Nutrition to lead a research programme relevant to research strengths in human physiology and nutritional metabolism at the University and who could contribute to teaching on one or more of the Bachelor of Medical Sciences, Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science, Bachelor of Sports Rehabilitation and Master of Nutrition and Dietetics degrees.

The School of Life Sciences is composed of three Research Divisions, which span biological and biomedical research focusing on:

Infections, Immunity & Microbes

Physiology, Pharmacology & Neuroscience

Cells, Organisms & Molecular Genetics

As the successful candidate, you will be a member of the Division of Physiology, Pharmacology and Neuroscience and will be expected to have a track record of research that dovetails with current translational research initiatives within the cross-campus Metabolic and Molecular Physiology research group that spans Nottingham and Derby Medical School sites and wider University strategic research structures (MRC/ARUK Centre for Musculoskeletal Ageing, ARUK Centre for Sport, Exercise and Osteoarthritis, ARUK Pain Centre, Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre and the Nottingham NIHR Biomedical Research Centre). 

The successful applicant  will demonstrate how their current track record in research can be further developed to augment Human Physiology and/ or Nutrition research in Nottingham. As the role holder, they will have access to excellent human imaging, metabolism and physiology research facilities. 

The role holder will already have an established track record in human physiology and/or nutrition, will be able to show evidence of having secured independent research funding and will have identified opportunities for the development of new research projects and collaborations within the School and wider University research framework. As the successful applicant, you will initially have time to concentrate efforts into developing your research and securing funding, but eventually you will take responsibility for the quality of the design and the delivery of courses/ programmes in order to maintain high teaching standards.

The role holder may have line management responsibilities including responsibility for the professional development of junior colleagues and PhD students and will contribute to the overall administration of the School.

As part of the application process please identify your 4 best papers to date.
