Research Career Development Fellowships in the Molecular and Cellular Function Division, University of Manchester: Expression of Interest for 2023

Posted by , on 9 September 2022

Location: University of Manchester

Closing Date: 5 October 2022

 

The Molecular and Cellular Function Division within the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Manchester invites applications from early career researchers who wish to be sponsored for external fellowships to become an independent group leader.

We are looking for outstanding early career scientists that are addressing fundamental aspects of molecular, cell or developmental biology. Applicants working on advanced imaging, cutting edge molecular approaches, or cross-disciplinary research are particularly welcome, but we encourage applications from across the spectrum of molecular, cell or developmental biology.

The Molecular and Cellular Function Division offers a rich and supportive environment, with access to cutting edge core facilities in imaging, genomics and proteomics, to name a few, as well as access to extensive animal facilities. The Division is closely linked with several research groups, namely Cell Dynamics (www.bmh.manchester.ac.uk/research/domains/cellular-development-systems/cell-dynamics), RNA and Protein Fate (www.bmh.manchester.ac.uk/research/domains/cellular-development-systems/cell-dynamics), Gene Expression, Chromatin and Signalling (www.bmh.manchester.ac.uk/research/domains/cellular-development-systems/gecs). The Division sits within the broad and vibrant research community of the School of Biological Sciences and Faculty of Biology Medicine and Health, and we welcome applications that are able to link to other areas of the Faculty (www.bmh.manchester.ac.uk/research).

Successful candidates will be of the highest calibre, with demonstrable excellence in their research to date. Applicants will be reviewed and short-listed based upon overall scientific quality, fit with the Division, and the likelihood of being able to submit competitive fellowship applications. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to visit the University to present their work in a research seminar as well as meet members of the Division. There also will be an opportunity to present their research vision to the selection committee. Successful applicants will receive significant support in preparing fellowship applications, with an allocated mentor, and will have access to the extensive support network that exists for fellows in our University.

If you are interested in applying for a research fellowship in the Division please send the following to Professor Martin Lowe (martin.p.lowe@manchester.ac.uk):

  • A full CV with names of referees.
  • A one-page description of your research division.
  • An outline of how you would plan an application for a fellowship with associated timeline.

Candidates should check eligibility for individual fellowships schemes. You will be required to provide evidence of your eligibility to work in the UK before commencing any fellowship offered.

As an equal opportunities employer we welcome applicants from all sections of the community regardless of age, sex, gender (or gender identity), ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation and transgender status.  All appointments are made on merit.
