3. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
This research will build upon and expand on our research in Marchantia liverworts and vascular plants. As the successful candidate you will study Marchantia-microbe interactions and compare to processes in vascular plants. You will explore tissue and developmental context specific mechanisms and the underlying plant proteins to study the phenotypic consequences for plant microbe interactions and plant development. You will receive horticultural/technical assistance and will be able to collaborate with postdocs studying other aspects of plant-microbe interactions, plant cell biology and plant development. You will also benefit from established colonisation and imaging protocols, transgenic microbial and plant lines expressing reporter proteins.

4. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Landslides are one of the most damaging natural hazards, causing several thousand deaths each year, destroying critical infrastructure and inhibiting development. The multiplicity of triggers and vast areas susceptible to landsliding makes their forecasting a complex yet critical task. Satellite-based slope monitoring and landslide identification is one of the few plausible approaches to regional or national-scale landslide early warning.

7. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The successful candidates will use X-ray diffraction techniques to characterise battery materials and so experience in this field is essential. They will also make use of a variety of modelling/simulation methodos to rationalise experimental results; therefore, experience with density functional theory and/or molecular dyamics simulations is essential. Experience with nuclear magnetic resonance methods (MAS-NMR, PFG) and electrochemical methods, and methods to characterise lithium diffusion and transport are desirable. The projects will involve collaboration with other researchers, both international and within a UK-wide consortium, so the demonstrated ability to work as member of a team is essential.
Application Deadline: 30 June 2024
8. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The project may involve generating and analysing high-throughput sequencing libraries, such as RNA-seq, ribosome profiling, and/or tRNA-seq. You will combine your data with a large pool of data already collated by our team. The ideal candidate should have a clear interest for computational approaches, although their primary training may be in molecular biology or biochemistry. If you have solid laboratory skills and want to develop your computational skills further, this is a fantastic opportunity. You will learn to analyse these unique data resources and learn cutting-edge bioinformatics methods. Applicants should have a PhD (or be about to receive one) in a relevant discipline, as well as a strong desire to be part of a team aimed at uncovering fundamental aspects of gene regulation and genome evolution.
Application Deadline: 21 June 2024
9. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The project is in collaboration with the Department of Computer Science and Technology at the University of Cambridge and the UK Health Protection Agency (UKHSA), and aims to investigate use of machine learning for prediction of infectious diseases outbreaks. Using data from routine surveillance of respiratory infections in the first instance, the postholder will explore different approaches to blending existing ordinary differential equation-based mechanistic infectious disease models with modern deep learning approaches to develop predictive models of relevant epidemic data. Challenges include the relative scarcity of relevant training data, characteristic of epidemics, and the need to appropriately quantify uncertainty in the predictions.
Application Deadline: 24 June 2024
