Fellowship opportunities
The School of Pharmacy offers an excellent research environment with outstanding facilities to support multidisciplinary activities across a number of areas.
These include molecular and cellular sciences, structural biology, regenerative medicine, biomaterials, biophysics, metabolomics, drug discovery and medicinal chemistry, drug delivery, nanoscience, social research in health and medicine, and innovation in education.
Hosting independent Research Fellows
We support a number of outstanding candidates through the fellowship application process each year at early, mid or advanced career level.
We have an open call for high calibre scientists seeking appropriate host laboratories to support their fellowship applications in research areas that align with or complement our current portfolio.
Areas of strategic importance currently include:
- Biophysics, with particular interest in protein and cellular analysis
- Molecular and cellular sciences including, gene regulation, RNA biology, chromatin & cancer, drug discovery, immune modulation, omics technologies and bioinformatics
- Medicinal chemistry, chemical biology and structural biology
- Drug delivery, 'systems-based' pharmaceutics and tissue engineering
- Health economics and economic evaluation, particularly decision-analytic modelling in medicines safety and patient adherence, evaluating complex interventions, pharmacoepidemiology and use of large databases, and the roll of pharmacy in public health
- Innovation in Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Science education
- Pharmacognosy and pharmacology of natural products
