The Opportunity:

The University of Edinburgh invites applications for a Chair of Molecular Reproductive Biosciences, based at the Centre for Reproductive Health (CRH) in the Institute of Regeneration and Repair (IRR). The successful candidate will be a discovery scientist, with an outstanding academic research record appropriate to the level of appointment, both reputational and in publications, who will:

• Establish an internationally leading programme of research in endometrial biology, with a focus on advanced in-vivo and in-vitro models, alongside state-of-the-art technologies.
• Drive new national and international collaborations with existing areas of strength in reproductive biology in Edinburgh.
• Provide leadership for the future development of translational gynaecology research in Edinburgh and internationally.

The CRH is an interdisciplinary research and teaching hub, bringing together internationally renowned scientists and clinicians to push the boundaries of knowledge in reproductive biology and its practical applications in medicine. Based at the IRR within the Edinburgh BioQuarter, the CRH research themes include ‘gonadal function and fertility’, ‘translational gynaecology (including reproductive cancers)’, and ‘pregnancy and early life’.

This post is full-time (35 hours per week); however, we are open to considering part-time or flexible working patterns. We are also open to considering requests for hybrid working (on a non-contractual basis) that combines a mix of remote and regular on-campus working.

Your skills and attributes for success: 

• A PhD and expansive experience in academic research over a sustained period
• A track record of international standing in endometrial biology/translational gynaecology research 
• Reputation for excellence in engaging external stakeholders and the general public in research and knowledge exchange
• Experience and capability to act as role model for reproductive biology research, teaching and management
