(01) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral Research Associate in gas-phase ion spectroscopy
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in gas-phase ion spectroscopy with a particular emphasis on utilising spectroscopic tools (photoelectron imaging and action spectroscopy) to study the structure and dynamics of transition metal complexes. The research project aims to develop a new method for elucidating the mechanisms of transition metal chemistry, by isolating reactive intermediates in the gas-phase and interrogating their electronic structure using ion spectroscopy. The research project will be led by Jemma Gibbard (staff page, group website), and is funded by a Leverhulme Trust Research Project Grant.
The successful applicant will be expected to aid the development of experimental protocols, perform experiments (gas-phase ion spectroscopy with ns/fs laser systems), analyse and interpret data, and prepare outputs in the form of manuscripts and presentations at scientific conferences.

(03) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Research Assistant (two posts; RA1 and RA2)
Two fixed-term full time Research Assistant (RA) positions are available at the Department of Psychology. The successful candidates will join the research project “Chasing Likes – Developing a Psychobiological Model of Adolescents’ Social Media Use and Overuse Based on Social Reward”. This large-scale project is led by Dr Niklas Ihssen and Prof Mary Hanley and funded by the Huo Family Foundation.
The ambitious project investigates the behavioural, motivational and neural mechanisms underlying social media use and overuse in young people, using a range of methods, including behavioural testing, psychophysiology, fMRI, as well as longitudinal (developmental) and qualitative (interview) approaches. The successful applicants will have primary responsibility for the longitudinal/developmental (RA1) and qualitative (RA2) components of the project. RA1 will lead the recruitment and testing of a cohort of 10-13-year old children invited three times for lab-based data collection across a time period of two years. This will involve working closely with a collaborating network of 22 schools, liaising with teachers, parents and teenagers, running an experimental study with children and analysing longitudinal data. The study will include the collection of psychological (behavioural and psychometric) as well as physiological data (heart rate and skin conductance). RA2 will have responsibility for conducting two interview studies with groups of 11-19 years old teenagers and analysing the data using adequate methods. RA2 will also support recruitment, data collection and analysis of the longitudinal study. In addition, both RAs will contribute to preparing the studies’ findings for publication in high-quality journals and dissemination at scientific conferences. They will also contribute to participatory elements of the project and impact activities, such as public engagement events and the production of educational material. The roles offer a unique opportunity to work on an exciting project that is at the forefront of a fast-moving research field and that has significant potential for impact. The role holders will benefit from existing links to schools and young people in the North-East, access to cutting-edge scientific equipment and be able to contribute to the project’s focus on theoretical advancement and scientific rigour. At the same time, the RAs will be involved in driving meaningful and authentic impact related to problematic social media use in young people.

About Durham University, England – Official Website
Durham University is a collegiate public research university in Durham, England, founded by an Act of Parliament in 1832 and incorporated by royal charter in 1837. It was the first recognised university to open in England for more than 600 years, after Oxford and Cambridge, and is thus one of the institutions to be described as the third-oldest university in England. As a collegiate university its main functions are divided between the academic departments of the university and its 17 colleges. In general, the departments perform research and provide teaching to students, while the colleges are responsible for their domestic arrangements and welfare.
The university is a member of the Russell Group of British research universities after previously being a member of the 1994 Group. Durham is also affiliated with the regional N8 Research Partnership and international university groups including the Matariki Network of Universities and the Coimbra Group. The university estate includes 63 listed buildings, ranging from the 11th-century Durham Castle to a 1930s Art Deco chapel. The university also owns and manages the Durham World Heritage Site in partnership with Durham Cathedral. The university’s ownership of the World Heritage Site includes Durham Castle, Palace Green, and the surrounding buildings including the historic Cosin’s Library. It was Sunday Times University of the Year for 2005, and the Times and Sunday Times Sports University of the Year for 2015, and was awarded a Queen’s Anniversary Prize in 2018. Durham University Student Volunteering and Outreach was awarded the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service in 2020.
Among British universities, it had the sixth highest average UCAS Tariff for new entrants in 2018 and the third lowest proportion of state-school educated students starting courses in 2016, at 62.9 per cent (fifth lowest compared to its benchmark). The chancellor of the university is Sir Thomas Allen, who succeeded Bill Bryson in 2012. Current and emeritus academics include 14 Fellows of the Royal Society, 17 Fellows of the British Academy, 14 Fellows of the Academy of Social Sciences, 5 Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, 2 Fellows of the Royal Society of Arts and 2 Fellows of the Academy of Medical Sciences. Durham graduates have long used the Latin post-nominal letters Dunelm after their degree, from Dunelmensis (of, belonging to, or from Durham)
