10 Postdoctoral Fellowship at University of Bath, England

The recently funded EPSRC Sustainable Manufacturing Hub ‘CARMA’ (Cellular Agriculture Manufacturing Hub) has the vision to transform food production, transitioning to an environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable model in which novel cellular agriculture (cell ag) manufacturing systems complement traditional food production. Cell ag will enable the manufacture of staple foods, such as meat and palm oil, without the environmental and land impacts of traditional farming and associated ethical issues. This role is one of a network of researchers across five universities, and part of a wider international network of like-minded academic institutions and companies.

We have an exciting opportunity to work on new synthetic methodology for the synthesis of valuable amine-containing building blocks using photoredox catalysis in continuous flow. 

You will be working as part of a team under the supervision of Dr Alex Cresswell to develop flow-based methods for the synthesis and functionalisation of simple, readily available amine starting materials. 

We will apply these new processes to the synthesis of pharmaceutically-relevant targets and will gain fundamental understanding of the systems through mechanistic analysis.

As a Research Associate, you will help lead the research of a motivated team of chemists. 

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has become one of the essential characterisation techniques in chemistry. 

However, paramagnetic molecules are often discarded from NMR characterisation as analysis of their NMR spectra is deemed to be too complex. 

While there have been significant advances in the theoretical understanding of paramagnetic NMR (pNMR) spectra, there is still a huge gap between theorist and experimentalists as most of the computational approaches are not translated into tools accessible for inorganic chemists to analyse their paramagnetic metal complexes with NMR. 

We are seeking Research Associates to study large-to-small scale ionospheric irregularities by utilising new evidence from EISCAT_3D together with evidence from any other relevant datasets as well as to model and characterise propagation disturbances induced by ionospheric irregularities on radio signals (for example, satellites and radio objects). 

The NERC-funded FINESSE project will exploit a new and unique (also NERC-funded) incoherent scatter radar system, EISCAT_3D, located in northern Scandinavia and capable of 3D imaging of the ionosphere. 

The UK along with the rest of the world is becoming increasingly dependent on technological systems, such as satellite telecommunications and satellite navigation, that are at risk from adverse space weather conditions. This risk manifests through plasma instabilities in the ionosphere which originate electron density irregularities that induce propagation disturbances on radio signals such as from GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems).

We are seeking a Research Associate to study how the lower and middle atmosphere drive and control the dynamics of the Earth’s upper mesosphere, lower thermosphere, and ionosphere (MLTI), a critical boundary region linking the atmosphere below and space above! You will primarily focus on the role of atmospheric gravity waves in this driving. 

The MLTI is by far the least-understood part of the atmospheric system, and our knowledge of how it varies over time and space is very limited. You will support the NERC-funded DRIIVE and MesoS2D projects, two major projects aimed at understanding this complex atmospheric region. Both projects are multi-institution programmes combining novel observations and cutting-edge atmospheric models to characterise and understand the MLTI system.

Applications are invited for a highly motivated and ambitious Research Fellow to work as a member of a multi-disciplinary team of researchers at the newly merged Bath Institute of Sustainability and Climate Change (ISCC). 

The Bath Institute of Sustainability and Climate Change integrates physical, social and systems science and engineering at Bath and develops leaders in tackling critical sustainability issues. Our work spans three core themes: 

• Sustainable Chemical Technologies
• Sustainable Systems
• Social Transformations

The social transformations theme focusses on social-science led interdisciplinary research, focussing on transformative climate change solutions that look across scales and sectors.

We are looking for an adventurous and talented researcher to fill a postdoctoral position as part of the £7.3M EPSRC Programme Grant, MaThRad (Mathematical Theory of Radiation Transport). 

This five-year interdisciplinary programme of research will use modern mathematical methods from probability theory, advanced Monte Carlo methods and inverse problems to develop novel approaches to the theory and application of radiation transport. 

The programme grant is held jointly between the University of Warwick, University of Bath, University of Cambridge, University College Hospital, and the National Physical Laboratory. This position will be based at the University of Bath.

We are seeking a highly motivated Research Associate to become a core member of a team working in the field of Nonlinear Quantum Materials (NQM). You will focus on cutting-edge theoretical and computational research in nonlinear optics, nonlinear phononics, and quantum transport in layered quantum materials. 

This role presents a unique opportunity to lead pioneering investigations at the intersection of quantum field theory and atomistic simulations, aimed at tackling fundamental challenges in material science and condensed matter physics while addressing real-world applications. You will be part of a vibrant, forward-thinking research team with a research ambition to push the frontiers of materials science. We are seeking driven individuals with a passion for discovery, eager to make impactful contributions to the field.
