Applications are invited for two posts as Assistant or Associate Professor to join the School of Life Sciences at the University of Warwick in the UK. Our researchers see further, achieve more and change lives by following their relentless hunger for new discoveries. The key to this groundbreaking research is interdisciplinary collaboration. Getting together with specialists from other (often unexpected) areas to open up exciting new perspectives. United by passion, purpose and infinite curiosity, our research teams bring together diverse thinking to make the world better.

About You  

The School of Life Sciences (SLS) wishes to appoint two excellent and ambitious early career principal investigators to our academic research and teaching staff. All excellent candidates in plant science are welcome although we are particularly interested in those who work on biotic or abiotic stress, plant physiology and adaptation, including virology and entomology at the lab and/or field scale or in natural ecosystems. We encourage researchers applying novel technologies to work, or collaborate, across scales, such as phenomics, sensing or imaging cells and tissues through to neofunctionalization. Individuals will be expected to have original research programmes and to have demonstrated eagerness to translate their expertise to address challenges in discovery-led biological rules-of-life, or problems in food and nutritional security. Researchers taking approaches that cut across disciplines linking genetic diversity to engineering or physical sciences are strongly encouraged to apply.
