The School of Biology at the University of St Andrews is committed to the pursuit and delivery of research at the highest international level. Research in the School is organised into three major interdisciplinary centres: the Scottish Oceans Institute (SOI), Biomedical Sciences Research Complex (BSRC) and Centre for Biological Diversity (CBD). We are seeking to appoint two outstanding lecturers in the School of Biology to develop an independent programme of research in a complementary area of either Cell or Molecular biology. In exceptional circumstances, the appointment of a Senior Lecturer will be considered for applicants with sustained and substantial research experience and well-established and developed research programmes.

Based in the BSRC, you will benefit from modern laboratory space, state-of-the-art facilities and a collaborative, collegial research culture. Candidates with existing funding who may wish to transfer their fellowship are also encouraged.

Informal enquiries can be made to Professor Garry Taylor (email glt2@st-and.ac.uk), Professor Malcolm White (e-mail mfw2@st-and.ac.uk) or Director of the BSRC Professor James Naismith (e-mail: naismith@st-and.ac.uk).
