The University of Cambridge wishes to appoint a University Lecturer in Immunology based in Central Cambridge within the Department of Pathology www.path.cam.ac.uk.

In addition, the successful candidate is expected to make a general contribution to the academic work of the Department and the University, including teaching in those courses for which the Department of Pathology is responsible.
