The Board of Electors to the Herchel Smith Professorship of Medicinal Chemistry invite applications for this Professorship from persons whose work falls within the general field of the Professorship, to take up appointment on 1 October 2008 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The Professorship is currently assigned to the School of Clinical Medicine. However, the Electors expect that the person appointed to the Professorship will also be associated with the Department of Chemistry, pursuing a research programme that encompasses both fundamental chemistry and clinical relevance. The Professor would also be expected to foster wider links between the Department of Chemistry and the Clinical School.
The appointment will be subject to the Statutes and Ordinances of the University.
Further information may be obtained from the Academic Secretary, University Offices, The Old Schools, Cambridge, CB2 1TT (e-mail ibise@admin.cam.ac.uk), to whom a letter of application should be sent, together with details of current and future research plans, a curriculum vitae, a publications list, and a completed form PD18 with details of two referees, so as to reach him no later than 18 April 2008.
Informal enquiries may be made to Professor Patrick Sissons, Regius Professor of Physic and Head of the School of Clinical Medicine (tel. 01223 336738, e-mail regius@medschl.cam.ac.uk) and to Professor Jeremy Sanders, FRS, Department of Chemistry (tel. 01223 336411, e-mail jkms@cam.ac.uk ).
The University values diversity and is committed to equality of opportunity.
