We are looking for an experienced fundraiser, to lead on Neuroscience related
fundraising for the Departments of Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences as

world for the last twelve years in the Times Higher Education World University
Rankings for clinical, pre-clinical and health sciences. Recent

COVID-19 pandemic, most notably through the delivery of the Oxford–AstraZeneca
vaccine, which is estimated to have saved over 6 million lives.
