St George’s, University of London, is entering a new
and exciting period of development. As part of its
commitment to maintaining proven excellence in

of new posts which will support and sustain the
institution in its strategic development over the
next decade and beyond.

The first area for development is Community Health
Sciences. Each post will comprise a combination of
teaching responsibilities and research opportunities
in one of the four areas of research strength within
the division: cardiovascular epidemiology (Professor
Peter Whincup), respiratory & environmental
epidemiology (Professor Ross Anderson), lifecourse &
genetic epidemiology (Professor David Strachan), and
primary care epidemiology (Professor Derek Cook), or
in the emerging new area of biomedical informatics
(Dr Simon de Lusignan). One or more of the full-time
posts may be configured as a combination of
part-time appointments.

The successful applicant will be expected to
co-ordinate, develop and contribute to the
undergraduate MBBS course in research & critical

qualified applicants below Consultant level. We are
seeking candidates with a higher degree in
epidemiology or a related discipline and a strong
track-record of research that complements existing
interests within the division.

Ref: 503/06 - Lecturer or Senior Lecturer in
Biomedical Informatics. This post has been created
