The School of Pharmacy at Queen’s University Belfast, is currently seeking to appoint an exceptional candidate to the post of Lecturer in Molecular Nanotherapeutics.

Research activity within the School of Pharmacy is organised into five key themes, reflecting our research strengths: Nanomedicine and Biotherapeutics, Pharmaceutical Materials Science and Formulation, Drug Delivery and Biomaterials, Infection and Antimicrobial Resistance, Healthcare Delivery and Medicines Optimisation.

Over the course of the next 3 years, the strategic ambitions of the School of Pharmacy will ensure we continue to achieve excellence in research. These include the establishment of the Centre for Advanced Technologies in Healthcare (CATcH).

As we advance these ambitions, we have a fixed-term opportunity in the field of biomaterials. This area continues to grow in importance in the healthcare sector.

•   Experience of presentations at national and international meetings and conferences

•   Relevant supervising or co-supervising PhD students

•   Teaching experience relevant to the teaching of undergraduate and postgraduate degree students in pharmaceutical science commensurate with stage of career.
