We are recruiting for up to two Reader positions as part of a major expansion in research and education in the physical sciences of life at King's College London.

These positions form part of a major £45m investment into interdisciplinary science at King's, focused on boundary-breaking science research, education and innovation that benefits society.

This investment is accelerating growth across science disciplines and stimulating new initiatives at the interfaces between traditional areas.

We are looking for talented academics with strong track records in research and education.

Specific areas of interest include, but are not restricted to:

Integrating biological, biophysical, biochemical, mathematical and computational methods across scales: spanning molecules, cells, organs, organisms and populations
Leveraging complex and diverse datasets to understand biological processes and pathways
Developing and using physical and life science methodologies to study biological and physiological processes in realtime
Using chemical biology and synthetic chemistry to investigate or disrupt biological systems; for example, drug discovery, imaging, designer switches for regulatory cascades

This is an opportunity to contribute to the strategic growth of world-class research, working synergistically across disciplines, and identifying and growing promising early career researchers.

We also wish to maximise the relevance of our work to society through engaged research that engages diverse audiences, especially in our local communities in London and beyond.

This post will be offered on an indefinite contract.

This is a full-time post.
