Professorial Pay Scheme Band Structure

Applications by 3rd November 2023

As a Professor joining the School of Biosciences or the Department of Physics and Astronomy, you will be an active researcher and you will make a critical contribution to the University of Sheffield.

Our ‘Physics of Life and Quantitative Biology’ initiative will create a critical mass of researchers to build on Sheffield’s strong track record in this area by appointing a Chair and several Research Fellows. Successful applicants will work at the interface of bioscience and physics in areas ranging from soft matter physics through quantitative methods and approaches for studying living systems, to the physical principles of how living things function, and encompassing elements of, e.g., mechanobiology and energy capture biology. 

The Chair’s research will be strongly cross-disciplinary, requiring knowledge, understanding and approaches from both physical and biological disciplines. The Chair will lead high quality independent and collaborative research programs, strengthen the research area within the University and enhance our external profile.
