Diversity Statement
We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and communities, and in particular those currently under‑represented in our workforce. This includes, but is not limited to, female candidates.
About the Group and Team
The School of Life Sciences (SLS) at the University of Warwick wishes to appoint an excellent and ambitious principal investigator working in the broad area of quantitative, systems and engineering biology (QSEB). Particular areas of interest include Physics of Life, Engineering Biology, Bioelectricity, Cellular Metabolisms, and Biomanufacturing.
We encourage applications from researchers combining experimental and data‑driven approaches, such as single‑cell technologies, microfluidics and analytical chemistry, with mathematical, computational and AI models. Individuals whose research has strong potential for industrial collaborations and who are developing work with translatable and societal impact are particularly encouraged.
Research facilities: genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, liquid‑handling robotic platforms, high‑performance computing, flow cytometry, advanced confocal microscopy, light and electron microscopy, bioinformatics growth facilities for experimental plants and animals and CL2/CL3 laboratories.
Our research cluster is part of QSEB. Researchers at QSEB work closely with colleagues from other departments and cross‑departmental centres.
About You
* Expected to develop an original and interdisciplinary research programme investigating biological phenomena through fundamental physical, chemical, mathematical or engineering principles, combining experiments and theory.
