About the College/Department

Here at the University of Derby, the College of Science and Engineering is the home of STEM: the skills that are essential to the UK’s Industrial Strategy. From digitisation to decarbonisation, we have an important role to play in shaping the future. And by researching or collaborating with us, you can too.

The College brings together a powerful combination of scientific expertise, technological innovation, and creative practice. With disciplines spanning computing, AI, data science, engineering, environmental sciences, built environments and psychology - we are uniquely positioned to solve real-world challenges through interdisciplinary collaboration.

Our courses are designed with employability and future industry needs in mind, supported by cutting-edge facilities, strong employer partnerships, and a commitment to sustainability. Through applied research and hands-on learning, we equip students and staff to drive progress in areas that matter most; from smart technology to clean energy, advanced manufacturing to immersive design.

School of Science

The School of Science brings together three key subject areas; Environmental Sciences, Biomedical and Forensic Science and Psychology. The School has strong links with key external agencies including the University Hospitals for Derby and Burton NHS Trust who support the Biomedical Sciences IBMS provision as well as research collaborations. The School also works with regional forensic science agencies including the police and private forensic science labs as well as numerous environmental agencies locally, nationally and internationally focusing on conservation, habitat management and environmental regeneration.

About the role

We are seeking a highly motivated researcher with a relevant PhD and a strong track record in research to contribute to innovative projects focused on metabolism linked with neurodegeneration and breast cancer. The successful candidate will bring expertise in molecular biology, protein biochemistry, and advanced imaging techniques, playing a key role in developing research methodologies, generating impactful discoveries, and contributing original ideas to the research programme. The role also includes opportunities to supervise undergraduate and postgraduate students, support project-based learning, publish in high-quality peer-reviewed journals, and present findings at national and international conferences.

At University of Derby, we're dedicated to advancing knowledge and making ground-breaking discoveries that have the potential to transform healthcare and improve lives worldwide. As an Academic Researcher, you'll play a pivotal role in driving our research agenda forward and contributing to cutting-edge projects that address critical challenges in biomedicine. You will be expected to support research in relation to our REF submission themes and help us to gain international reputation.

You will demonstrate a strong publication record relative to career stage and a commitment to producing internationally excellent research. Evidence of contributing to research funding applications, working collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams, and building productive relationships with academic and external partners will be advantageous. You will be an effective communicator, capable of presenting research findings to a range of audiences and contributing to the supervision of undergraduate and postgraduate research projects.

Most importantly, you will be an ambitious and proactive researcher with the creativity, initiative and organisational skills to drive projects forward, generate impactful research outputs, and contribute to the University's research ambitions, including REF objectives and the wider College and University Research Strategy.
