Lecturer in Finance (Teaching & Research), Business School
The University of Aberdeen operates a 4+0 undergraduate degree with its partner South China Normal University (SCNU) taught in its entirety at the SCNU campus at Nanhai, in Guangdong province. The University of Aberdeen Business School invites applications for a (Teaching and Research) Lecturer in Finance to be based in Aberdeen but teach at SCNU. The successful applicant will primarily be based at the University of Aberdeen but will be required to spend substantial periods of time in China. Accommodation in China and travel to and from China will be covered by the University of Aberdeen.
Teaching Fellow, Natural & Computing Sciences
The Department of Computing Science, within the School of Natural and Computing Sciences at the University of Aberdeen, seeks to recruit a Teaching Fellow on a 6-month fixed-term basis to provide maternity cover. The successful applicant will contribute to the delivery of teaching across our undergraduate and taught postgraduate Computing Science programmes, supporting students through high-quality, research-informed teaching and assessment.
Teaching Fellow, Geosciences
The Department of Geography and Environment at University of Aberdeen offers MA and BSc undergraduate degree programmes, completed over four years. Students have the option of pursuing a general Geography degree or to specialise in either Human or Physical Geography. A sizable minority of undergraduates opt to take a Joint Honours degree. Research led teaching approach allows staff to introduce taught content aligned with their research interests at all levels of the undergraduate programme. Our Honours programme is structured such that the focus in Year 3 is upon skills, techniques and key concepts in the discipline and, in Year 4, special topics courses allow students to specialise in sub-areas of the discipline which align with our research strengths.

Research Fellow, Biological Sciences
A talented and creative researcher in the field of evolutionary developmental biology is sought to take part in a highly interdisciplinary and international project funded by the Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP). We aim to understand the role of gene family expansions in the evolution of novel complex traits in molluscs. Our approach will use a combination of state-of-the-art techniques, such as CRISPR/Cas9 gene knock-out and single cell technologies, to understand the functional role of specific genes in mollusc shell development. We are particularly interested in studying a class of receptors called pattern recognition receptors (PRR). The project offered will involve: (i) analysing single cell RNAseq atlases to determine the cell type expression specificity of PRR genes, (ii) assessing the spatial expression of PRR genes in developmental stages of molluscs using HCR in situ hybridisations and, (iii) CRISPR-Cas9 gene knock-out functional analysis of specific PRR genes.
