This call supports the School’s mission to strengthen its academic profile across a broad range of health-related and biomedical areas as part of EUC’s commitment to impactful education and research that responds to pressing global health challenges.
The recruitment encompasses academic appointments at multiple ranks, from Lecturer and Assistant Professor up to Associate Professor and Professor, in a variety of fields integral to life and health sciences.

Appointees will engage in curriculum delivery, supervision of students, scholarly activities, and contribute to the ongoing development of programmes within the School.
Candidates are expected to hold a doctoral degree or equivalent (PhD) in a relevant area, with a strong record of teaching and research.
