We are seeking an academic with a compelling track record and ongoing programme of research in this field. The appointee will lead the development of a comprehensive translational research programme in Transplantation and Nephrology, aligned with the vision and strategy of SIMS and FoLSM.

The successful applicant will bring the required skills to secure research funding, foster interdisciplinary collaborations across the faculty, strengthen translational research and ensure an inclusive research culture, build upon pre-existing world-class programmes of research, and enhance King’s global reputation in transplant immunology through innovative research and clinical excellence, which in turn will contribute to the University’s vision to make the world a better place.
