The University is committed to equality of opportunity and has a policy on arrangements for part-time work.
Applications are invited for the following University offices:

The Lecturer would be expected to interact with existing members of the Department in both research and teaching. In addition, the research environment of Cambridge offers many opportunities to establish collaborative links with members of other Departments, from Plant Sciences to Medical Genetics, working in all aspects of biology, including population genetics.
