The post is ideally suited to individuals wishing to build an academic career in urology, and in particular those who have already undertaken research and who now wish to continue undertaking research with a clear focus.

We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
