1. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The postholder will join the research team led by Dr John Busby and Prof. Liam Heaney working on several projects related to chronic inflammatory disease, with an initial focus on chronic respiratory disease (e.g. severe asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD] and interstitial lung disease). The post is funded by the HDR-UK as part of the Inflammation and Immunity Driver Project 2 (DP2) programme.
The applicant will initially lead on projects building a UK-wide linked cohort of patients with asthma using data from UK Trusted Research Environments – this work will be piloted in Northern Ireland and will then be expanded to other UK nations. This linked data will create a unique resource and will be used for both retrospective and prospective research projects. In parallel, similar linkage will be advanced in other disease areas in collaboration with UK partners in the DP2 programme, with opportunities to lead on specific research programmes in this area.

4. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The School of Natural and Built Environment at Queen’s University Belfast is seeking to appoint an exceptional candidate to the post of postdoctoral research associate in Drinking Water Treatment. Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), which bind to hormone receptors and affect the endocrine system, are an emerging problem in water treatment, with a large amount of effort expended in removing them from drinking water. The standard workflow for screening materials to remove EDCs from water is time- and resource-intensive.
The successful candidate will use laboratory bench scale procedures to investigate the effectiveness of a number of reactive materials to remove EDCs, particularly triclosan and bisphenol A, from drinking water. Material characterisation analysis including XRD, SEM and TEM will also be used. The information collected will be used in conjunction with another part of the project using atomistic simulations to build a database for pre-screening a material for EDC removal from drinking water.
