The Ineos Oxford Institute (IOI)  is now looking for a new Director who will have an exciting and transformational opportunity to lead and develop the strategy, vision, growth, and long-term success of the Institute in its next phase.

 

The IOI presents a unique opportunity to harness expertise across the University. We are seeking an individual with an international scientific track record relating to antimicrobial resistance and/or drug development. The successful candidate will ideally have existing relationships with at least one group of key stakeholders including funders, NGOs, policy makers, and pharma. The Director should be highly research active prior to this role and space in the state-of-the art laboratories will be made available to their group in the Life and Mind Building in Autumn 2025.

 

It is anticipated that the Director will also be a member of the Department of Biology or Chemistry depending upon their area of scientific expertise. This will be discussed further with shortlisted candidates.

 

The University of Oxford is committed to equality and valuing diversity. All applicants will be judged on merit, according to the selection criteria.
