  • Design and modelling of digital hydraulic fluid power technologies
  • Prototyping, validating and evaluating digital hydraulic converters
  • Digital fluid power system integration and experimental validations
  • Stimulating and creating pathways to impact and disseminate the research outcomes and promote the exploitation of the new technologies

You will be responsible for planning and performing your own research activities and will be expected to take an active role in supporting PhD and undergraduate research students within the laboratory.

This position is offered on a fixed term basis with an expected end date of 1st September 2026. 

About you 

Our ideal candidate will

  • Hold a PhD degree in a subject area of direct relevance for the project
  • Have previous experience in one or more of the following: modelling, design, control or prototyping of fluid power components and systems
  • Have excellent analytical, problem-solving, and project management skills
  • Be self-motivated and have excellent communication skills

You should have excellent interpersonal and communication skills to work as part of a team and discuss your work with a range of audiences.

<![CDATA[Research Associate (Material flows for UK buildings circular economy) (FM11942)]]> /jobs/rss/click.aspx?ref=FM11942 /jobs/rss/click.aspx?ref=FM11942 About the role

We are looking for a researcher to join our team at the Institute for Sustainability at the 澳门六合彩开奖记录2023, to work on an exciting new five-year multi-institution project on circular economy for buildings: .

BuildZero aims to understand if the UK’s needs from its building stock can be met with zero new raw material extraction, zero emissions and zero waste. Our research will show to what extent this vision is achievable and desirable, and provide a platform for translating circular economy approaches into practice and policy at scale.

Within this wider project, your focus will be on understanding flows of relevant materials and components in and out of the UK building stock, using various data sources to model flows and stocks over time using Material Flow Analysis approaches. You will also be an integral member of the large, multidisciplinary BuildZero project team, and will contribute to wider project tasks, events, and outputs.

This role is initially offered for 2 years with an expected end date of 31st October 2026. There is potential for a researcher who brings or can develop suitable skills to extend this to deliver further work packages: on modelling how circularity strategies interact to create change at UK building stock scale, and developing and using novel 'prospective life cycle assessment' methods to ensure environmental impacts properly consider expected future changes to processes and systems.

If you are interested, please get in touch to find out more or informally discuss the project before applying: email Dr Rick Lupton (Bath project lead) on rcl38@bath.ac.uk.

About you

We are looking for applicants who have a PhD or equivalent relevant experience, in industrial ecology or related areas. You will also need:

  • Knowledge of relevant modelling approaches such as Material Stock and Flow Analysis and Life Cycle Assessment.
  • Experience of successfully processing and interpreting data, building models and analysing research results in a transparent and reproducible way, using tools such as Python (or equivalent).
  • Ability to organise and prioritise your own workload, and to work in a broad interdisciplinary team, both within Bath and across the wider project.
  • Excellent oral, interpersonal and written communication skills.
  • Familiarity with issues of circular economy and the built environment (desirable).

<![CDATA[Research Associate (fixed-term) (ED11919)]]> /jobs/rss/click.aspx?ref=ED11919 /jobs/rss/click.aspx?ref=ED11919 About the role

This job is part of a BBSRC sLola funded consortium MultiDefence (). 

This consortium brings together leading specialists as well as early career researchers and technicians from the universities of Exeter, Cambridge, Durham, Manchester, Bath, Bristol, Liverpool and St Andrews to build a network of expertise in bioinformatics, molecular microbiology, biochemistry, mathematical modelling, microscopy, and experimental evolution techniques. 

Our collective ambitious goal for this project is to tease apart how complex, multi-layered, bacterial immune systems operate at the level of individual molecules, cells, populations and microbial communities. 

You will benefit from the broad expertise of this consortium and have opportunities to train in other labs. 

At the 澳门六合彩开奖记录2023, you will be within the Taylor lab group () where our goal is to utilise the power of microbial experimental evolution to decode the evolutionary and ecological forces shaping bacterial genomes. 

We foster a supportive and respectful environment and are committed to maintaining the highest standards of scientific integrity. 

As a member of Research Staff at the 澳门六合彩开奖记录2023, you will be encouraged to take up a minimum of 10 days professional development pro rata per year.

Bacterial genomes have evolved sophisticated defence systems against infections by mobile genetic elements (MGEs), including phages and plasmids, that shape genome structure and function. 

The very recent discovery of dozens of diverse and formerly unknown defence systems that cluster in 'defence islands' has led to the hypothesis that bacterial immune systems consist of multiple integrated layers that act in concert to constrain MGE infections; analogous to how our own innate and adaptive immune systems work together to combat pathogen infections. 

This project will propel our understanding of microbial genome evolution, improve our ability to predict and manipulate the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and help to optimise the use of phages to combat bacterial pathogen infections (phage therapy).

About you

Your part in the project will be focused on understanding how these multi-layered defence systems are regulated, both locally (i.e. on the defence islands) and globally (i.e. with regulatory elements in the host cell). 

You will hold a PhD in a relevant discipline. 

You will have good, practical experience with molecular microbiology techniques and genetic engineering which will be used to validate predicted regulatory elements. 

In addition, previous experience with flow cytometry and FACS would be beneficial for expression analysis. 

Some experience with bacteria-phage culture techniques is desirable. 

Excellent experimental design, scientific writing and data analysis skills are essential. 

This role will involve working closely with a full-time research technician that will support the project for the first year.

Additional information

This is a full-time, fixed-term position, expected to end December 2027.
