Research Assistant, Engineering

The North-East of Scotland is poised to play a strategic role in advancing hydrogen economies across the UK and Europe. Leveraging its extensive deployment of wind power, the region has the potential to become the UK's green energy hub by producing and exporting green hydrogen, thereby strengthening the entire UK supply chain. Repurposing offshore oil and gas infrastructure for hydrogen technologies—such as integrating wind farms with water electrolysis on platforms—can extend the life of existing assets, save millions of pounds, deliver green energy nationwide, and foster circular economies.

Research Fellow, Biological Sciences

We are seeking a Research Fellow to join a new NERC-NSF project titled “Unravelling the formation and impact of the plastisphere in response to environmental stresses in microplastic contaminated soils”.  The post explores the impacts of microplastics on soils, focusing on physical properties and associated microbial processes.  Much of the research will use microfluidics systems to provide a high level of control to explore microplastic breakdown by microorganisms the subsequent impacts on flow and transport.  The postholder will work closely with a Senior Research Fellow with expertise in soil physics, and support will be provided to measure microbial properties. The project is joint with Cornell University who provide expertise in soil biogeochemistry.

Research Fellow in Theoretical and Mathematical Biology, Medicine, Medical Sciences & Nutrition

A talented and creative researcher is sought to take part in a highly interdisciplinary project funded by the European Research Council (ERC). The overall aim of the project is to understand how intercellular signalling in developing embryos allows them to self-organize into complex structures. Our approach is to develop sophisticated mathematical models – informed by state-of-the-art biological knowledge and experimental data – to understand these counterintuitive reaction-diffusion mechanisms. We are particularly interested in discovering genuinely novel classes of reaction-diffusion mechanism, beyond the classic paradigms from applied mathematics and physics (e.g., Turing patterns). This will involve: (i) developing new analytical/theoretical tools for the study of reaction-diffusion systems, (ii) performing large scale, machine-learning-assisted numerical screens of putative reaction-diffusion circuits, and (iii) studying specific biological systems in close collaboration with experimentalists to guide our models.
