Research Associate in FlowNMR for Self-Optimisation of Homogeneous Catalysis at University of Bath – (Jobs/Scholarships)

0


About the role

This role is part of the UK Catalysis Hub using Bath’s Dynamic Reaction Monitoring (DReaM) Facility.

DReaM is the UK’s leading facility for multi-dimensional real-time reaction monitoring of complex solution phase chemistry to enable the rational development of cleaner and more sustainable processes. It features unique expertise in high-resolution FlowNMR spectroscopy augmented with real-time UVvis, IR and Raman spectroscopies, sampling HPLC and mass spectrometry in a dedicated laboratory equipped with unified process control and feedback loops. 

The UK Catalysis Hub is a national consortium of 46 universities, 15 companies, the STFC Harwell science facilities, and 13 international partners established in 2013 to coordinate and advance UK catalysis research and connect it internationally. Now in its third phase of funding, its priority research areas include sustainability and net zero, digital chemistry, and advanced characterisation methods. One of its core missions is to support the training and career development of early career researchers via community events

Both the UKCH and DReaM are strongly committed to ED&I and RRI, with comprehensive strategies to tackle long-standing issues facing under-represented groups and key ethical issues, focusing on empowering, inspiring, connecting and upskilling more diverse leaders.

Note that a lower Grade 6 offer may be made temporarily, with appropriate reduction in responsibilities and amendment in job title to Research Assistant, if a suitable applicant cannot be found to fill the Grade 7 position. Applicants will need to be within six months of their completion date, and will be promoted to Research Associate once their PhD has been awarded. As a member of Research Staff at the University of Bath, you will be encouraged to take up a minimum of 10 days professional development pro rata per year.

This is an exciting opportunity for a skilled and motivated postdoctoral researcher with an interest in working at the interface of homogeneous catalysis, NMR spectroscopy and automation to develop new flow reactors via advanced process control.

This one-year project brings together leading expertise in catalysis and operando FlowNMR (Hintermair, Bath) with reaction engineering, flow chemistry and self-optimisation (Bourne & Chamberlain, Leeds) supported by an engaged industrial partner (Syngenta).

The aim of the project is to use advanced self-optimising algorithms to regulate homogeneously catalysed reactions based on the optimal working state of the catalyst to enable maximum lifetime and productivity. Most of the work will be carried out in Bath’s DReaM facility which offers access to advanced, multi-nuclear, high-resolution FlowNMR with a data infrastructure for real-time process regulation via LabVIEW. With the help of our collaborators the leading expertise in self-optimisation from the iPRD Leeds will be implemented in DReaM, and new methods and applications developed jointly. Translation into industrial practice is an exciting opportunity offered by Syngenta via a placement at their research centre in Jealott’s Hill.

About you 

Apart from excellent technical skills, good organisational, communication and presentation skills are essential for this role, as is the ability to work well in an interdisciplinary environment. Interaction with partners of the UK Catalysis Hub and participation in their events will be expected.

Project summary

Liquid crystals are ordered fluids which display birefringence and dielectric anisotropy. These properties allowed them to revolutionise display technologies (i.e. LCD TVs). Augmented (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies are the next logical step in display device technology; however, they require novel solutions in engineering and physics to overcome limitations and become fully realised. This fully funded PhD project aims to characterise and understand liquid crystalline based materials and optical devices for future AR/VR technologies. This studentship will be part funded by Merck KGaA who are specialist in liquid crystals and optoelectronics.  Thus, the successful candidate will join a diverse and multidisciplinary team of chemist, physicists, and engineers in academia and industry.

Please state your entry requirements plus any necessary or desired background

A first class or an upper second class British Bachelors Honours degree (or equivalent) in an appropriate discipline.

Postdoctoral Fellowship (2 years): Determinants and Consequences of the Oral Microbiome job with Umeå University – (Jobs)

0


The Department of Odontology, Umeå University, Sweden, is offering a postdoctoral scholarship within the project “Determinants and consequences of the oral microbiome across the life course: Implications for health and disease.” The scholarship is full-time for 2 years, starting in spring 2026 or by agreement. The deadline for submitting an application is 1st of March, 2026.

The Department of Odontology comprises approximately 70 employees and delivers education across Dental Hygiene, Dentistry, and Dental Technology, alongside a vibrant program of oral health and microbiome research.

Project description

Human‑colonizing bacteria, and their functions, are increasingly recognized as central to health, well-being, and disease. While landmark work has focused on the gut, the oral microbiome remains comparatively underexplored. Most studies have mapped downstream effects to identify disease-associated taxa, leaving a major gap regarding upstream determinants that shape oral ecology and the resulting downstream host consequences. Existing evidence indicates that the oral microbiome is influenced by host genetics and environmental exposures, with their relative importance varying across the life course. Depending on these upstream factors, oral ecology can shift from eubiosis to dysbiosis, leading to systemic responses and disease.

Overall aims of the project are to:

  • Map and evaluate upstream determinants of oral microbiome.
  • Map downstream dysbiosis-related effects at molecular depth and assess links to disease.

You will join a collaborative team working at the intersection of genetics, epidemiology, bioinformatics, and microbiome science to generate analyses that can change how we understand and ultimately prevent disease via the oral ecosystem.

The two year long postdoctoral project is financed by the Kempe Foundations. 360 000 SEK each year and is taxfree.

Qualifications

We seek a driven and motivated bioinformatician to contribute to our research program

Eligibility:

  • A PhD (or foreign degree deemed equivalent) in bioinformatics, epidemiology, statistics, or a closely related field, awarded before the fellowship decision date.
  • Documented experience in research projects within the scope of the awarded degree.

Required competencies:

  • Strong background in bioinformatics (e.g., R, Linux, Python).
  • Experience working with large cohorts and high-dimensional data.
  • Experience with microbiome analysis and/or GWAS.
  • Excellent English communication skills, both written and spoken.

Meritorious (preferred) experience:

  • Experience/training with server-based analyses, e.g., Uppsala Multidisciplinary Center for Advanced Computational Science (UPPMAX).

We are looking for a dynamic, curious postdoctoral researcher to join Anders Esberg’s group, someone who enjoys independent and critical thinking, finds research stimulating, and wants to grow with us.

The post-doctoral fellow is required to have completed a doctoral degree or a foreign degree deemed equivalent to a doctoral degree. This qualification requirement must be fulfilled no later than at the time of the decision about scholarship recipient.

Priority should be given to candidates who completed their doctoral degree, according to what is stipulated in the paragraph above, no later than three years before the application deadline. If there are special reasons, candidates who completed their doctoral degree before that may also be eligible. Special reasons include absence due to illness, parental leave, appointments of trust in trade union organizations, military service, or similar circumstances, or other forms of appointment/assignment relevant to the subject area.
