Biosciences is one of the world’s foremost centres for research and teaching in the biological sciences and one of the largest Divisions within UCL, undertaking a significant amount of research and teaching. The Division has a diverse portfolio addressing all areas of biology from protein interactions to cell function, organism development, genetics, population studies and the environment. Computational modelling approaches are frequently used alongside experimental research programmes and much of our research crosses traditional boundaries, including the relationship of biodiversity to the health of the planet. Activity is underpinned by high calibre science technology platforms and state of the art equipment. Educational activity includes a range of undergraduate programmes, an expanding number of Masters Programmes and a substantial number of postgraduate research students.
This is an exciting opportunity to join the UCL Centre for Integrative Anatomy. The Centre is a research unit within the wider department that is focused on vertebrate structure, function and evolution, using a multidisciplinary approach centred around advanced imaging.
The main purpose of this position is to take an active role in developing an internationally competitive research programme in the field of primate and/or human evolutionary anatomy, and conducting research-led teaching and training of undergraduate and graduate students in human and comparative anatomy. Alongside teaching delivery, you will also be expected to contribute to programme management and other aspects of citizenship within the department.
