Applications are invited for the following University offices:
Appointments made at University Lecturer level will be for three or 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 £20,811 a year, rising by eleven annual increments to £32,095.
Appointments made at University Assistant Lecturer level will be for three years, with the possibility of reappointment for a further two years. The statutory limit of tenure of a University Assistant Lectureship is five years, but all holders of the office of University Assistant Lecturer are considered for possible appointment to the office of University Lecturer during the course of their tenure. The pensionable scale of stipends for a University Assistant Lecturer is £17,238 a year, rising by six annual increments to £22,579.
Three University Lecturers in the Department of Genetics, to take up appointment from 1 October 2000. Applications are encouraged from scientists able to provide dynamic leadership and having a strong research record. They should have active research programmes that will complement existing research activities of the Department in the study of cell function or the regulation of development and cell proliferation at the cellular level. Applicants using the yeasts or the mouse as model systems would suitably expand the research expertise of the Department. However, applications will also be welcomed from scientists working on other models such as C.elegans, Xenopus, and Arabidopsis. The appointees will benefit from the recent award to the Department of a JIF grant to strengthen research activities in Cell Biology. They will be expected to play a full role in the teaching and research activities of the Department, including both the training of postgraduate students and postdoctoral fellows, and undergraduate teaching in the Faculty of Biology.
Further information about the post and an application form may be obtained from the School of Biological Sciences' Appointments website (http://www.bio.cam.ac.uk/sbs/appointments/), the Department of Genetics' website (http://www.gen.cam.ac.uk/), or from the Secretary of the Department, Mrs Tracy Oakley, Department of Genetics, Downing Street, Cambridge, CB2 3EH (tel. 01223 333987, fax 01223 333974, e-mail t.oakley@gen.cam.ac.uk), to whom applications (three copies) should be addressed.

University Lecturer in the Department of Paediatrics, School of Clinical Medicine. The research interests of the Department are in endocrinology and diabetes, with an emphasis on the molecular mechanisms of hormone action and how genetic variations may influence early human growth and development and the later onset of disease.

Strong links have been established with the research groups of Professors John Todd, Krishna Chatterjee, and Steve O'Rahilly in the School's Cambridge Institute for Medical Research.
