08 Postdoctoral Fellowship at University of Kent, United Kingdom

We seek a talented and motivated Research Associate to join the School of Computing at the University of Kent. If you are committed to excellence in research, this exciting opportunity may be ideal.

Embedded in the Programming Language and Systems group at Kent, you will undertake novel research on programming languages, tools, and systems to support climate modelling and climate scientists. This work could be from a number of perspectives, for example, but not limited to, static analysis tooling for numerical models, verification of critical libraries used by climate scientists, developing novel language ideas for future computational science efforts, extending existing languages with novel features to support science, or developing new tools to support climate science research.

We seek a talented and motivated postdoctoral Research Associate to join the Mechanical Team, School of Engineering at the University of Kent for fixed term project work. This project is funded by an Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) programme “AFCAD (Advanced Fuel Cells for Aviation Decarbonization)” No.10097017, led by industrial partner ZeroAvia. 

The result of the work could significantly enhance the specific power and lifespan of upcoming hydrogen energy systems designed for larger and long-range aircraft. This is a great opportunity for individuals to develop expertise in the advanced heat and mass transfer, thermal management techniques and fuel cell stack design and integration.

The role will require a strong motivation to manage the research progress but will also be guided by progress meetings with the main supervisor, Dr Bo Li as well as the Co-supervisor, Dr Chao Wang. The Research Associate is expected to work closely with industrial partners and have strong communication skills. The post holder must have a problem – solving approach to meeting the overall project deliverables and will be expected to devise work leading to the drafting and eventual submission of manuscripts to highly regarded academic journals.

The project will focus on four key incontinent bodies prominent in the period – the child; the reproductive (including the postpartum woman and the male masturbator); the war veteran and the elderly. It will also build an international and multi-disciplinary research network with scholars in the humanities and social sciences and collaborate with Britain’s two main incontinence charities – Bladder and Bowel UK, and ERIC, The Children’s Bowel and Bladder Charity – who aim to reduce the stigma surrounding incontinence and to create public awareness of the distress and debilitation that stigmatisation causes. Research findings will be presented in academic publications; academic and non-academic conferences and workshops; printed and digital resources; webpages featuring blog posts; and an online exhibition. 

Are you interested in biological research with the ability to contribute to research-led teaching at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels? Are you committed to excellence in research? If so, this exciting opportunity may be ideal.

A Research Associate position is available in Dr Mohinder Pal’s laboratory in the School of Biosciences at the University of Kent. We are looking for an enthusiastic and ambitious researcher who will work on a cutting-edge experimental research project in the structure-function analysis and regulation of DNA repair enzymes.

The project involves a combination of biochemistry, biophysics, and structural biology work. The structural part of the project will involve single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and X-ray crystallography. The role will also involve developing research objectives, conducting research, writing research work for pub

We seek a talented and motivated postdoctoral Research Associate to join the Photonics Team, School of Engineering at the University of Kent for fixed term project work. This project is funded by an Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) programme “AFCAD (Advanced Fuel Cells for Aviation Decarbonization)” No.10097017, led by industrial partner ZeroAvia. 

This presents a great opportunity for individuals to pioneer the development of cutting-edge optical sensing technologies and engage in collaborative ventures with industrial partners for comprehensive technology validation.

We are looking for a Research Assistant to join the Kent and Medway Medical School research group. The successful candidate will contribute to a new programme grant funded by the Wellcome Trust, ‘Sleep and circadian health disturbances in psychosis and depression: the cascading impacts of impairments in cognitive control’ (CHiP-D).

Working under the supervision of Professor Shergill, the Research Assistant will support this project by organising research activities, disseminating information and contributing to creative outputs.

 Behavioural-typed process calculi are formalisms that have been successfully used to guarantee the absence of deadlocks, livelocks, and race conditions in message-passing concurrent and distributed systems. However, the correctness of such techniques relies on complex pen-and-paper proofs that are hard to check or extend. This has caused several instances of unsound extensions to well-known theories, or bugs in the implementation of such theories. A potential solution to such problems is the mechanisation of these techniques as part of a proof assistant. A key difficulty in such mechanisations is proving when two processes (or behavioural specifications) are equivalent.
