Requirements: A PhD in Genetics, Biology, Biochemistry, or related discipline (or to be in the final stages of obtaining such a qualification).
Experience in bioinformatics.
Able to summarise results and present the findings.
Good interpersonal skills and ability to communicate technical information.
The School of Biosciences is a vibrant, stimulating, and welcoming environment for research and education within the Division of Natural Sciences. In REF2014, Bioscience at Kent was ranked 7th on the basis of 'research intensity', and the appointment of a range of new staff since 2014 has meant that research quantity and quality have risen still further.
