Description du poste

Job title Prize Fellow in Biological Chemistry

Salary Starting from £48,337, rising to £57,666

We are working to transform public and environmental health management, establishing the first Urban Living Lab facility; a state-of-the-art digital water sensing platform, training base and ideas hub. Our ambition is to provide a practical roadmap for a UK early-warning system, co-produced with regional and national stakeholders to serve as a sentinel and multigenerational testing site for research and innovation. This platform will enable testing of public health and environmental interventions focused on increasing community resilience to disease, pollution and climate change impacts.

We are looking to recruit a Prize Fellow:

• To develop an internationally leading independent research programme in the broad areas of Biological chemistry; Chemical toxicology; Cheminformatics/data science.
• To teach aspects of analytical chemistry in both lectures and laboratory classes, maintaining the University’s high standards in teaching and learning, and its inclusive and supportive learning environment.
• To contribute, with support, at an appropriate level to the administration, leadership, and management of the Department’s and Centre’s activities.

The successful candidate will develop an independent research programme aligned with the CWBE mission while expanding the Centre's existing capabilities in one or more of the following areas: Biological chemistry, Chemical Toxicology, Cheminformatics and Data Science. We are particularly interested in strengthening our expertise in proteomics, as well as in cheminformatics, artificial intelligence, and data science. Applicants should have expertise in at least one or two of these areas demonstrate the ability to work collaboratively within an interdisciplinary environment. The role will involve close interaction with engineers, chemists, biologists, and social scientists, making strong teamwork and communication skills essential.
