Health and Life Sciences

Transform lives through research spanning therapeutics, infection, neuroscience and women's health, with opportunities to lead across the full translational pathway.

The University of Liverpool is home to a globally connected research ecosystem driving innovation in health and biomedical sciences.

Building on our strengths in neuroscience, women's health, infectious diseases, and therapeutics, we are developing solutions that improve patient outcomes and address the most pressing challenges in human health.

Our researchers work across disciplines, supported by strong clinical and industrial partnerships and a collaborative research culture. Liverpool is home to the largest number of specialist NHS Trusts outside London, providing an exceptional foundation for clinical and translational research across all our health and life sciences themes. We have a long and distinguished history in infectious diseases research that has shaped global health policy and practice, and our world-leading Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics places us at the forefront of therapeutics and drug development. We are also committed to advancing women's health research, addressing longstanding gaps in evidence and improving outcomes across the life course. Our partnership with the Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust, the UK's only standalone NHS trust for neurology and neurosurgery, and our Liverpool Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Centre (LINC) provides unique opportunities for translational neuroscience research with direct clinical impact.

Our world-leading strength in health data science, our location within a vibrant clinical and academic ecosystem, with close ties to NHS Merseyside and a thriving life sciences sector, provides unparalleled opportunities for research, innovation and patient engagement.

We are seeking world-leading researchers to help drive the next generation of discovery and impact across health and life sciences.
