Lecturer in Virology or Viral Immunology - Cardiff University

The School of Medicine at Cardiff University seeks to appoint a Lecturer in Virology or Viral Immunology to join a newly established Translational Virology Unit that sits across the Division of Infection and Immunity, Division of Cancer and Genetics, and the Centre for Trials Research, based at the Heath Park Site, Cardiff.

The successful candidate will be a dynamic individual seeking to develop an independent research program contributing to basic and applied virology research, including better understanding of viral pathogenesis, viral immunology and novel interventions, vaccines (including the development of mRNA based vaccines) and therapeutics to control viral spread, and/or the refinement of viruses for therapeutic purposes. They will be expected to develop cross cutting collaborative links across relevant Cardiff University research themes, developing competitive research proposals and building research capacity to support Virology-related research – a key area of strength highlighted for support through this newly created Unit. They will actively contribute towards the delivery of the aims and objectives of this post.
