We are seeking a talented, highly motivated researcher and teacher with outstanding potential to bring exciting new perspectives to the study and teaching of molecular plant pathology at the University of Oxford. This post is offered by the new Department of Biology in partnership with Magdalen College.

Associate Professor is the main academic career grade at Oxford. Associate Professors have responsibility for leading a successful programme of research that attracts grant funding, and being an enthusiastic and engaging teacher. Associate Professors are appointed jointly by a University department/faculty and an Oxford college, and you will have a contract with both.

You will establish or maintain your own research group, fostering a collaborative, supportive atmosphere and encouraging research achievement. You will support your own research through competitive grant proposals, and will offer high-quality, innovative and inclusive teaching through lectures, practical classes and tutorials. In both the Department and College, you will play an active role in management and decision-making. You also have a responsibility to promote equality, diversity and inclusion across all facets of the Collegiate University.

You will have a doctorate and postdoctoral experience that demonstrates your competence in the field of plant pathology and a publication record appropriate to your career stage and personal circumstances. You will have the ability to inspire, educate and enthuse students, and to effectively manage a research group. Outstanding communications and interpersonal skills are essential.

The post is full time and will become permanent on successful completion of a five-year review. For an informal discussion about the post, please contact the joint Head of Department Prof Mark Fricker (mark.fricker@biology.ox.ac.uk), or Head of HR, Julie Rees (julie.rees@biology.ox.ac.uk), as appropriate. This is one of two posts available in the Molecular Plant Biology Section in the new Biology Department.
