The School of Biosciences and Chemistry provides courses in applied biological and chemical sciences, all delivered in a supportive, research-informed environment. The School consists of approximately 50 academic staff, active in research and with an excellent reputation for teaching.
We deliver a wide range of courses preparing applied science graduates for professional roles in biosciences, healthcare, chemistry sectors and beyond.
Our research is aimed at increasing understanding of the molecular and cellular basis of health and disease and its application to diagnosis, monitoring and treatment. We also excel in the application of analytical techniques to pharmaceutical, environmental and materials chemistry.
We offer a diverse range of benefits and opportunities to pursue a rewarding and fulfilling career in a supportive environment.
The University currently enrols eligible academic staff into the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (TPS), a defined-benefit pension scheme.
Should you be enrolled into TPS, each year you will earn a secure pension benefit of 1/57th of your salary and the University will pay pension contributions towards the cost of this pension (currently worth about 29% of your salary). For a salary of £35,000, for example, the University would pay just over £10,000 in the first year of your employment and you would earn a pension of £614 p.a. for that year (payable from your State Pension Age).
Further details on TPS can be found here
If you’re a member of the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS) directly before joining us, you can choose to remain in USS instead.
