About Us
The Centre for Human & Applied Physiological Sciences (CHAPS) is situated within the School of Basic & Medical Biosciences (within the Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine), which is led by Professor Mathias Gautel and comprises five departments with a wide range of expertise and interests. Using a bench to bedside approach, the School aims to answer fundamental questions about biology in health and disease and apply this knowledge to the development of new and innovative clinical practise, alongside providing a rigorous academic programme for students.
About the role
CHAPS is seeking dynamic individuals for the role of lecturer in Human Physiology. This department has a focus on fundamental questions regarding human physiological function and adaptation in health and disease and occupies an important nexus between basic biomedical sciences, clinical and applied research. It comprises four interlinking research groupings operating under an overarching strategy focused on furthering understanding of integrative human physiology.
Our research encompasses a unique ‘whole-body systems’ through to stem cell approaches which is aimed at gaining insight into factors affecting human health, disease, biological ageing and exercise, as well as performance in unique and extreme environments. We are committed to integrative and translational research which is facilitated by collaborations with other research groupings within King’s College London, King’s Health Partners, industry and the military.
The successful candidate will contribute to the teaching of both undergraduates and postgraduates alongside contributing to the innovative scientific research within the centre. The post holder will be embedded in a highly interdisciplinary and collaborative research environment, where 75% of research is rated 4* (world leading; Uo A24 REF2021). The appointee will join an interactive group of investigators with expertise across a whole range of research groupings: Aerospace & Environmental Physiology & Medicine, Respiratory Physiology & Medicine, Skeletal and Cardiac Muscle: Form & Function and Neural Control of Human Movement. Our department is responsible for the delivery of post graduate programmes in Human & Applied Physiology (MSc), Aerospace Medicine (Diploma/MSc) and Sport & Exercise Medical Sciences (BSc).
Applications from individuals with research strengths in aerospace and environmental physiology are particularly welcome, as are those in the fields of cardiovascular and respiratory physiology.
This is a full time post (35 hours per week), and you will be offered an indefinite contract.
