Group Leader in Synthetic Biology

Based within the Norwich Research Park, the Earlham Institute (EI) was established as a national facility to promote the use of genomics to advance bioscience research and innovation in the UK, supporting academic and industrial investigators. EI is focused on understanding the natural world through the lens of genomics, bringing a strong focus on genomics, computational-, systems- and synthetic-biology. In a unique interdisciplinary environment, the Institute explores the scale and complexity of living systems to protect life on Earth. Through our research, collaborations, training, and scientific services, we are leading a revolution in data-intensive bioscience.

The Earlham Institute is seeking a high quality researcher to join the Research Faculty as a new Group Leader. We invite applications from those working in research focused on synthetic or systems biology to establish and lead an internationally recognised programme of innovative research.
