Join the UK's Sustainable University of the Year 2025. The University
of Reading is home to a vibrant academic team of Biological Scientists,
strengthened by several new appointments in the past five years, that
has built on international expertise in phylogenetics, zoology and
applied ecology. Underpinning this, the School of Biological Sciences
occupies state of the art facilities, including the Health & Life
Sciences building, housing the Cole Museum of Zoology, which enhances
both our research and teaching. The School is ideally situated in a
large species-rich green campus close to other academic Schools with
interests in biodiversity and climate change research.

The Division of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology seeks to appoint:
1. a Lecturer in Invertebrate Zoology: a highly motivated and successful
scientist working on aspects of invertebrate zoology with an interest in
museum based research. Duties will include: contributions to research
including applications for funding, teaching at undergraduate and
postgraduate level, and to administrative duties as normally expected
in a University environment. The appointee may have the opportunity to
take on the curation of the Cole Museum of Zoology.

2. a Lecturer in Field Ecology: a successful scientist or practitioner
working on aspects of field ecology including identification of animals
and plants. Duties will include: contributions to research including
applications for funding, teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate
level, and to administrative duties as normally expected in a University
environment.
