What we’re looking for

We are seeking a highly professional, enthusiastic and committed individual to join our academic team in Biomedical Sciences, with a specific interest in the cellular and molecular pathology of disease, with a scope broader than cancer alone.

Your expertise will complement and strengthen our existing research and teaching activities in these areas.

We value and invest in our staff, offering meaningful opportunities for professional development, scholarship support, and clear internal promotion routes.

We see our staff as very much part of this community and value their contribution to the success of LJMU, Liverpool and the wider northwest region.

If you’re inspired by the idea of joining a growing university and bringing your expertise to a community where you can truly make a difference, we look forward to hearing from you.
