University offices: Vacancies

The University follows an equal opportunities policy and has a policy on arrangements for part-time work.

Applications are invited for the following University offices:

University Lecturer in the Department of Pathology

University Lecturer in Clinical Pathology in the Department of Pathology to take up appointment as soon as possible. Applications are invited from holders of registrable medical qualifications who are Members or Fellows of the Royal College of Pathologists. It is expected that an honorary consultant appointment will be awarded for this office. The successful applicant will join the Division of Histopathology, will have clinical responsibilities within the Pathology Services of the Addenbrooke's NHS Trust and be recommended for an honorary consultant contract, and will be required to undertake teaching and research. Proven ability in original research is essential, including a good publication record, supervision of students for higher degrees, and the winning of substantial grant funding. The theme of this research is not strictly prescribed, but should be concordant with existing interests in the Department of Pathology. Interest in the cell and molecular biology of oncogenesis and tumour progression, especially of epithelial neoplasms, is particularly welcome. The Department of Pathology is currently contributing to a review of undergraduate medical teaching. Experience in the design and delivery of undergraduate medical courses and familiarity with new teaching and assessment methods is highly desirable. The appointment will be for five years in the first instance, with the possibility of reappointment to the retiring age.

The pensionable scale of stipends for a University Lecturer is £20,107 a year, rising by eleven annual increments to £31,010. There is no grade of Senior Lecturer. The successful candidate will be eligible to receive an additional payment for clinical responsibility related to the amount of clinical work undertaken. If, as expected, the Lecturer undertakes the equivalent of six or more NHS sessions a week of clinical work the payment will be such as to bring his or her total pensionable emoluments into line with a place on the NHS salary scale for consultants (£44,780-£57,800; £45,740-£59,040 from 1 December 1998).

Further information about the duties and conditions of appointment and an application form may be obtained from the Appointments web page (http://www.bio.cam.ac.uk/sbs/appointments/) or the Secretary of the Appointments Committee of Biology, 19 Trumpington Street, Cambridge, CB2 1QA, to whom applications (three copies) including a curriculum vitae, list of publications, and names of not more than three referees, should be sent so as to reach him not later than Saturday, 5 September 1998.

Resident in Pathology in the Department of Clinical Veterinary Medicine

Resident in Pathology in the Department of Clinical Veterinary Medicine to take up office from 1 October 1998 or as soon as possible thereafter. The successful candidate will be required to help provide a diagnostic pathology service to the Department and its associated clinics throughout the year and to undertake such teaching as may be directed by the Head of Department. The successful candidate should be able to demonstrate a strong interest in all aspects of morbid anatomy and histopathology. He or she will be expected to collaborate in a research project, and will also be expected to sit the examination for membership of the Royal College of Pathologists. Applicants for the above office must have a veterinary degree registrable with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. Appointment to the office will be for three years.

The pensionable scale of stipends for a Resident in Pathology is £20,107 a year rising by four annual increments to £23,651.

The CUDN is currently being upgraded to have an ATM backbone operating over an extensive network of private fibre-optic cables across the City of Cambridge. The majority of connections to the various institutions of the University are currently 10 Mbit/s ethernet and will be upgraded to 100 Mbit/s during the coming academical year. Applicants should have several years' experience in data networks and a thorough understanding of IP and associated protocols. Experience with using ATM would be an advantage. The appointment will be for three years, with the possibility of reappointment for periods not exceeding five years at a time or, when appropriate, to the retiring age.
