What we can offer you
The Department of Biosciences
Biosciences at the University of Exeter is a world-class academic environment (https: // biosciences.exeter.ac.uk). Our research spans the breadth of biology, from how biological molecules function to developing an understanding of how organisms interact with one another and within the ecosystems they occupy. As such, we bridge fundamental and applied, focused and multi- disciplinary Biosciences research, attracting funding from NERC, BBSRC and EPSRC as well as from a wide range of industrial, governmental and NGO organisations. We provide an inspirational, demanding and ultimately rewarding learning experience; teaching undergraduates in a broad, yet deep, Biological Sciences degree programme, in addition to more focused Biochemistry and Biological and Medicinal Chemistry degrees. We have a creative, collaborative and inclusive approach to academia, with a community of ~450 academics, PhD/MRes students, postdocs, technicians and professional services staff that meet regularly as a full Department, as well as smaller Themes. We have a very active Diversity, Inclusion, Culture and Equality committee and have recently been awarded Athena Swan Silver.
