Are you an academic with a proven ability to carry out teaching and research in bioactive biochemistry?
Are you passionate about delivering an exceptional student experience in a research-intensive Russell Group University?
Do you have an excellent research record and proven success obtaining funding?
The School of Food Science and Nutrition is the oldest and highest ranked university department of food science in the UK. The School is continuing to invest in new academic staff, expanding its capability in biochemistry. The post will expand the research capability of the School by investigating the role of plant-based bioactives and assess their functionality in relation to health. The increasing pressure on the food chain to be more sustainable has seen increased research in plant-based systems that are more sustainable and improve the health of UK consumers. The poor health of the nation, particularly in relation to obesity has been one of the factors underlying the severe impact of the pandemic in the UK. The post holder will be required to deliver inspirational teaching and supervision as well as internationally recognised research. We invite applications from outstanding academics of who are able to demonstrate a track record in student education, research and academic leadership.
