We particularly seek scientists working on aspects of ageing that complement our existing strengths in ageing in model organisms (notably C. elegans and Drosophila), e.g. with work on ageing in other invertebrate or mammalian models (including humans). An ability to develop collaborative projects with nearby investigators working on yeast, nematode worms, fruit flies and mammals is important.

You will have a proven track record in conducting high quality independent research, demonstrated by high quality publications in peer-reviewed journals. You will be expected to raise significant funding from a variety of sources and to direct a competitive independent research programme. Some start up funding will be provided, including a Ph.D. studentship.
