Post-Doc positions
Post Doctoral Research Assistant in Microbiology
We are seeking applications from Microbiologists to work in a multidisciplinary project team to study the behaviour of microbes and biofilms at surfaces. You should have a PhD in Microbiology, Molecular Biology or Bio-Imaging techniques, with a strong publication track record and a demonstrated commitment to excellence. Candidates should have experience working with microbes, biofilms well as in molecular biology. Experience in related areas such as confocal microscopy, other cell imaging techniques, bioinformatics and `omics will be advantageous
Application Deadline - 28th March 2023
Postdoctoral Research Associate in Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy
We are seeking applications from Scanning Probe Microscopists to work in a multidisciplinary project team to study functional surfaces and interfaces created in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions. You should have a PhD in Physics, Surface Science, Physical Chemistry or Imaging science with a strong publication track record and a demonstrated commitment to excellence. Exceptional Skills in high resolution scanning probe techniques such as Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy (STM), low-temperature STM and non-contact Atomic Force Microscopy (nc-AFM) in ultra-high vacuum conditions are essential. A strong background in surface science preparation and characterisation techniques is desirable. The position involves both research and innovation aspects and is offered initially for 1 year, with the option to extend.

PhD positions
Mapping Microbial Cell Interactions on Designer Biomimetic Surfaces
Nature uses sophisticated strategies to control and eradicate microbial cells. A major scientific challenge is to translate these approaches to artificially synthesised systems. This is an opportunity for a 3.5-year PhD position to understand the fundamental surface-cell interactions and events that control the attachment and adhesion of cells to surfaces and their subsequence multiplication to create complex communities.
