The Board of Electors to the Professorship of Transfusion Medicine invite applications for this Professorship, funded by NHS Blood and Transplant. The successful applicant will be expected to lead a programme of research relevant to transfusion medicine and to provide academic leadership within this field. Particular opportunities exist for collaborative work in the areas of haematopoiesis and stem cell research across Cambridge. The post is open to clinical or non-clinical applicants.
Further information is available at http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/academic/secretary/professorships/ or contact the Academic Secretary, University Offices, The Old Schools, Cambridge, CB2 1TT (email 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 form CHRIS/6 (parts 1 and 3 only) with details of two referees, so as to reach him no later than 15 July 2010.
Informal enquiries may be made to Professor Patrick Sissons (email regius@medschl.cam.ac.uk), Professor Tony Green (email arg1000@cam.ac.uk), and Dr Lorna Williamson, NHSBT Medical & Research Director (email lorna.williamson@nhsbt.nhs.uk).

Applications are invited for a Readership in the area of Analysis from 1 October 2010. Mathematical analysis provides the conceptual framework and methodology for a large part of current mathematical research and innovation. It underpins the majority of novel applications of mathematics in science, engineering, and industry. Problems originating in science, engineering, and industry are typically formulated in mathematical terms using analysis, while new mathematical ideas, techniques, and algorithms usually make their impact in application areas through the intermediation of analysis.
The Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics is keen to continue its longstanding policy to build up strength in modern analysis, in particular in partial differential equations. The EPSRC-funded Cambridge Centre for Analysis, which offers a four-year course in Mathematical Analysis leading to a Ph.D. Degree, will be devoted to training a new generation of analysts. One of the cornerstones of the Centre’s activities is the study of partial differential equations. This is a wide subject and whilst the Centre already benefits from having considerable expertise in the mathematics of general relativity, the Department seeks to complement this by bringing in a senior figure with expertise in the equations of kinetic theory with applications, for example, to plasma physics.
This is a senior position with tenure and candidates should have an internationally established academic reputation for excellence in research in Analysis. Appointment will be subject to the Statutes and Ordinances of the University. The salary will be £55,535 a year.
An application form can be downloaded from http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/hr/forms/chris6/ which should be returned, preferably by email, to h.innes@dpmms.cam.ac.uk together with a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, and the names and addresses of three referees (including email addresses), to arrive no later than Wednesday, 30 June 2010. Candidates should ask their referees to send their reports directly by email to the address above.

The University of Cambridge Careers Service serves all postgraduate and undergraduate students in all subjects, in all years, offering information and advice covering all career sectors. Cambridge alumni are also entitled to use the Service and are an active and growing constituency. Over 12,000 students are engaged with the Service and we work with over 3,000 organizations, running careers events and promoting their opportunities. Our advice and guidance entails helping students to research opportunities, make well-informed decisions about career choice, make effective applications, and succeed at interview.
A part-time (2 days a week) position has now become available owing to the retirement of one of our Senior Careers Advisers. This Careers Adviser role will focus on the not-for-profit sectors, advising students on how to enter charitable, environmental, conservation, and international development fields of employment in the UK and abroad. In addition to working with students and alumni, a major part of the role will involve identifying suitable opportunities by communicating regularly with organizations in not-for-profit sectors.
Applicants should be confident and articulate and have empathy for, and experience of working with, bright, ambitious students of exceptional ability. First-hand knowledge of the not-for-profit sectors (e.g. through work in environment and conservation, international development, charities or international organizations) would be highly desirable. While ideally seeking an experienced adviser, the Service would also be prepared to consider well-qualified applicants seeking to gain experience in careers guidance, and will offer training.
Further details about this role and information on how to apply are available from our website: go to http://www.careers.cam.ac.uk/ and click on ‘Careers Adviser (part-time)’ or contact Isabel Evans at Personnel@careers.cam.ac.uk or 01223 764239.
