Current academic opportunities
We are recruiting academic staff across Biosciences at Bloomsbury and our UCL East campus. Search current vacancies by exploring the roles below.
Our Biosciences departments are home to research that changes how the world understands life, health and the environment. Recent work from our community includes advances in Alzheimer’s disease modelling, new insights into how cell shape influences communication during development and major contributions to global biodiversity risk assessments. These discoveries feed directly into our teaching, ensuring students learn from academics who are shaping their fields.
Our Biosciences departments bring together outstanding researchers and lecturers working across molecular biology, genetics, neuroscience, ecology, evolution and interdisciplinary life sciences. What unites our academic staff is a shared commitment to inspiring students, shaping future scientists and contributing to a culture where innovation and inclusion thrive.
Our commitment to Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion
As London’s Global University, we know that diversity and inclusion are fundamental drivers of creativity, innovation, and excellence, and we want our community to represent the diversity of the world’s talent. We are committed to equality of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive, and to being a place where we all belong, thrive, and reach our full potential. We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented in UCL’s workforce. These include people from Black, Asian, and ethnic minority backgrounds; disabled people; and for our Grade 9 and 10 roles, women.
