The Institute of Pharmaceutical Science (IPS) at KCL supports world class fundamental and applied research across the full spectrum of pharmaceutical science, from drug discovery through biophysical and biological characterization, pharmacology, formulation, drug delivery and use of medicines, with a strong culture of multi-disciplinary collaboration and links to clinical colleagues evidenced by awards of major grants from organisations such as MRC, BBSRC and NC3Rs. The selected candidate will be based within the research department of Drug Discovery and the Teaching Department of Pharmacology & Therapeutics at Franklin Wilkins Building.   

 

We are seeking a motivated Lecturer to join our Drug Discovery research group at the Institute of Pharmaceutical Science.

We encourage applicants who have an expanding research profile and a proclivity for curiosity driven, perceptive research that will enhance the world-class research portfolio of the School of Cancer and Pharmaceutical Sciences and King’s Health Partners clinical academic group in Pharmaceutical Sciences.

 

The drug discovery research group have expertise in the areas of medicinal/bioinorganic/bioanalytical chemistry, biophysics, microbiology, systems biology, neurodegenerative diseases, pharmacology, vascular biology and inflammation. These are linked by cross-cutting themes in cancer diagnostics and therapeutics, antimicrobials and respiratory medicines.

 

Applications are welcomed from scientists with backgrounds in pharmacology particularly in neuropharmacology, molecular pharmacology, and experimental pharmacology who are imaginative and interdisciplinary and can move our ambitions forward by pursuing new opportunities and developing a laboratory research programme. The applicant should have a strong, fundable research area that fits with the School of Cancer and Pharmaceutical Sciences and has obvious potential for collaboration with researchers across the School, the Faculty, King’s, the UK and internationally.

 

An inclusive workplace delivers greater impact and are looking for an individual who will help evolve our welcoming, vibrant, and inspiring environment. A key part of our ethos is equality, with a dynamic and fulfilling culture for all and an emphasis on tackling under-representation of female and minority ethnic researchers in science.
