University of Exeter Investing in Science
The University of Exeter has ambitious plans for growth. Capital
projects to the value of £275 million pounds will, by the end of 2012,
transform our already beautiful Streatham campus into something that
is truly world-class. And during the course of the next twelve months
we will be building on our very considerable research strengths with
over 100 new academic appointments. Central to our plans for growth is
a major expansion of our capacity in science, engineering and medical
research. Two years ago the University announced the investment of £80
million in new academic positions, infrastructure and laboratories.
Building on the success of that initiative we now plan to appoint to
75 new academic posts in key areas of science. e first tranche
of investment will focus on four interdisciplinary research themes
identified by our science strategy and over the next twelve months we
will be appointing up to 20 new staff in these areas. Exeter is one
of the UK’s leading research universities with 95% of all eligible
staff submitted to the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise and almost 90%
of our research recognised as internationally excellent. By combining
quality profile and intensity e Times newspaper currently ranks
Exeter 15th in the UK for research excellence and e Times Higher
describes us as one of the “rising stars among researchintensive
institutions”. e people whom we are seeking to appoint will therefore
be innovative researchers with a strong track record of research funding
and international quality publications. Professors will, additionally,
be leading international figures with the ability to attract world-class
academics to their research groups.
Systems Biology
Chair plus up to 4 additional posts We are particularly keen to receive
applications from those with research interests in one of the following
areas: the biology of infectious disease, plant-microbe interactions,
evolutionary genomics, microbial biochemistry, protein-protein
interactions, systems analysis of signal transduction.
Climate Change
Chair plus up to 4 additional posts Applications are invited from those
with research interests in climate change prediction, modelling, climate
change mitigation, atmospheric physics, coastal engineering, renewable
energy generation or the effects of climate change on ecosystem services
and biodiversity.
Functional Materials
Chair plus up to 4 additional posts We would like to hear from individuals
working in the areas of nanoscale materials, structured meta-materials,
photonic materials, auxetic materials, graphene science or additive
layer manufacturing.
Cell and Molecular Biology
Chair plus up to 4 additional posts We seek individuals with interests in
molecular motors, polarised cells, vesicle trafficking, organelle biology,
autophagy or cellular differentiation. We also plan to build capacity
in biomedical research, particularly in the areas of infectious disease
caused by bacteria and fungi, the genetics of host susceptibility,
evolutionary genomics of microbal pathogens and the cell biology of
host-pathogen interactions. For further information and details of how
