1. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
CURE is a 5-year comparative project, originally funded by the ERC Consolidator Grant scheme and guaranteed by UKRI, based at the Department of Law, University of Manchester and led by Professor Aristea Koukiadaki. Its overall objectives are to set a new intellectual agenda and direction in comparative labour law by examining the concept and function of remedial rules and institutions. Reframing remedies as an intermediary link between different systems crucial in the production of our imaginaries of justice, CURE aims to provide a new reading of labour law systems on the basis of how they respond to violations, wrongs and injustices.
Application Deadline: 25/08/2024
2. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The 5-year project adopts a multi-dimensional, comparative and multi-method research design to evaluate how the juridical concept of remedies has evolved across different dimensions of the employment relationship in a set of different national systems (i.e. France, Greece, Poland, Sweden and the UK). Data collection and analysis will include legal doctrinal and empirical (i.e. legal computational and qualitative) methods that are specifically designed to capture and interpret internal (i.e. legal) and external (i.e. political and economic) perspectives on the regulation of the remedial framework in comparative labour law.

3. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The postholder will work as a Research Associate in the group of Prof Matthew Ian Gibson in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Manchester. For more information about the Gibson group and their research interests, please visit the group website (https://www.gibsongroupresearch.com). This role is focussed on the chemical synthesis of next generation ice-binding polymers, to mimic ice binding, and ice-nucleating proteins. We use these across a range of cryopreservation but also biotechnological application areas. For example, we have developed polymers (J. Am. Chem. Soc, 2018, 140, 5682) and nanoparticles (J. Am. Chem. Soc, 2021. 143, 7449) which can modulate ice formation. See our review for applications: Nature Reviews Chemistry, 2022, 6, 579.

4. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
We invite applications for Post-Doctoral Research Associate positions to join the Prob_AI Hub. The vision of the Prob_AI hub is to develop a world-leading, diverse and UK-wide research pro- gramme in probabilistic AI. The hub will develop the next generation of mathematically-rigorous, scalable and uncertainty-aware AI algorithms. This will be achieved through: bringing together world-leading researchers across Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Probability and Statistics, who engage with a range of non- academic partners; transforming the people pipeline; and producing a culture change within the mathematical sciences more broadly, so that cross-disciplinary mathematics research in AI is the norm.

7. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
GENERATE posits that gendered experiences and contestations of energy poverty represent a form of precarity, and as such shape energy frontiers – understood as marginal(ised) sites of encounter between different forms of energy production and consumption. In foregrounding hitherto ‘hidden’ processes relating to, and emanating from, the domestic domain, the project seeks to transform understandings of energy circulations in society more broadly.
Application Deadline: 09/09/2024
8. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:

The Chemistry laboratories are brand new (2023) featuring dedicated write up space, fume hoods, and analytical equipment including UV-Vis, FTIR (and in 2024) NMR spectrometers, microscopes and liquid handling systems. For polymer analysis we have a multidetector SEC suite, as well as the departments core NMR and Mass Spec facilities.
Application Deadline: 30/08/2024
9. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
We are seeking an enthusiastic Research Assistant to join our interdisciplinary research team for a 2.5-year post as part of the UKRI-funded “Big-Data for Nanoelectronics” project. The successful candidate will contribute to a program of work focused on automated and high-throughput experiments using custom optical microscopy, applying modern data techniques to derive new insights into optoelectronic nanostructures including nano-lasers, single photon emitters and non-linear optical devices.

Application Deadline: 09/09/2024
12. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The post-holder will develop probabilistic machine learning approaches for one or more of these data modalities. In the context of biology there are several challenges to applying generative models, e.g. uncovering causal relationships, incorporating prior knowledge, dealing with experimental variability, and fine-tuning of pre-trained models for specific applications. In this project we are particularly interested in using models to make decisions, e.g. to design further experiments, in which case it is important to associate model-based inferences with well-calibrated uncertainties.

Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The project will involve the validation of recent research findings to demonstrate proof-of-con-cept for commercial viability. This will require the cultivation of microalgal strains, the experi-mental characterization of the strains following stress exposure using physiological and biochem-ical methods to quantify biomass and metabolite changes, and the analysis and dissemination (through report writing and presentation) of the data. The project will also involve interaction with industrial collaborators, and so an essential part of this role will be to communicate and further develop the project with collaborators.
