3. Postdoctoral Research Assistant
Department: School of Engineering & Materials Science
Salary: £33,619 - £40,386 per annum (Grade 4)
Reference: QMUL31692
Location: Mile End
Date posted: 26 January 2023
Closing date: 15 February 2023
Overview
About the Role
Applications are invited for a full time Postdoctoral Research Assistant to work on a European Research Council funded project in the group of Dr Joe Briscoe.
The project aims to develop new routes to high efficiency solar energy conversion – both for photovoltaics (PV) and photoelectrocatalysis (PEC) – by producing nanocomposite thin films of ferroelectric and photoactive materials. Ferroelectric nanostructures will be developed that demonstrate a bulk photovoltaic effect, which will then be coupled to high efficiency light absorbers. These nanocomposites will be studied in detail using both experimental and computational techniques in order to understand and thus optimise their interactions and ultimately the device efficiency.
There are two main aspects of this role. The first is to support the development of experiments to measure the properties of PEC devices based on the nanocomposite materials. This will include setting up of optical and electrochemical measurements. The second aspect is to assist in the development of theoretical models to describe the behaviour of the nanocomposite devices, supported and validated by data obtained from experiments. The role therefore will require a dedicated individual who is willing to carry out both experimental and theoretical work. You will work closely with other members of the project team, including two other postdocs and three PhD students, and wider group members. You will be expected to take on a leadership role within the group, helping to supervise PhD and MSc students, as well as contributing to the day-to-day management of Dr Briscoe’s research laboratory.
About You
Applicants should have or be about to complete a PhD in Chemistry, Material Science, Physics, or equivalent. Experience of photoelectrochemical measurements is essential. Applications should also have experience of materials synthesis (ideally via solution processing) and characterisation techniques. Knowledge and experience of ferroelectric materials is also desirable, as is experience of setting up and carrying out opto-electronic measurements.
Benefits
We offer competitive salaries, access to a generous pension scheme, 30 days’ leave per annum (pro-rata for part-time/fixed-term), a season ticket loan scheme and access to a comprehensive range of personal and professional development opportunities. In addition, we offer a range of work life balance and family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, and campus facilities including an on-site nursery at the Mile End campus.
The post is based at the Mile End Campus in London. It is full time (35 hours per week), fixed term appointment for 1 year, with an expected start date of April 2023. The starting salary will be Grade 4, in the range of £33,619 - £40,386 per annum depending on experience, inclusive of London Allowance.
Queen Mary’s commitment to our diverse and inclusive community is embedded in our appointments processes. Reasonable adjustments will be made at each stage of the recruitment process for any candidate with a disability. We are open to considering applications from candidates wishing to work flexibly.

About the School/Department/Institute/Project
Our CRUK/Barts Charity funded team (https://www.bartscancer.london/staff/dr-paolo-gallipoli/) uses a multidisciplinary approach and complementary models to study how rewired metabolism contributes to leukaemic transformation and AML cells ability to withstand therapeutic pressure with the aim to identify novel therapeutic targets in AML (Woodley et al., BioRxiv, 2022, Dembitz et al., Blood, 2022&Gallipoli et al., Blood, 2018). The candidate will gain experience in characterisation of leukaemia models in vitro and in vivo, metabolic profiling and big-omics data analysis. Active research themes in the lab are studying the role of mannose and fatty acid metabolism in AML, the metabolic interplay between AML and microenvironment and the role of dietary intervention to enhance metabolic inhibitors efficacy. We enjoy close links with Barts Hospital and have a strong translational focus with excellent prospects for developing new therapies and making a significant contribution to our field. The candidate will enjoy a vibrant multidisciplinary environment at BCI, take advantage of our ongoing collaborations with the partner institutions within the CRUK City of London (Crick, Kings and UCL) and be provided with significant opportunities for excellent career development.

11. Postdoctoral Research Assistant
Department: Blizard Institute
Salary: £36,348 per annum (Grade 4)
Reference: QMUL31729
Location: Whitechapel
Date posted: 8 February 2023
Closing date: 8 March 2023
Overview
About the Role
A Postdoctoral Research Assistant (PDRA) position is available at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) in Prof. John Connelly’s group to work on “Biophysical regulation of nucleolar structure and function in senescent cells”, a multi-disciplinary project in collaboration with Prof. Cleo Bishop (QMUL) and funded by the BBSRC. The PDRA role will focus primarily on investigating the mechanisms by which the biophysical properties of the nucleolus change during cellular senescence and the functional impact on metabolism and tissue ageing. Experimental studies will employ state-of-the-art imaging and biophysical methods, alongside multi-omic and computational analyses, and the findings will provide fundamental insights into the processes of human cell and tissue ageing.
About You
The successful candidate should have a PhD in Biophysics, Cell Biology, Bioengineering, Mechanobiology or a related field of science or engineering. They should have sound experience in experimental cell biology and imaging, as well as strong computational skills. Knowledge of cellular senescence, ageing, or skin biology is highly advantageous. The PDRA will also prepare manuscripts using high-quality data, make oral presentations and help supervise postgraduate students.
About the Institute
The Blizard Institute was established in 2003 and is one of six Institutes within the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, QMUL. The Institute comprises approximately 350 staff based in four academic Centres and one Public Engagement Centre, and supports a combined total of c750 postgraduate research and taught students. The Institute aims to deliver excellence in all aspects of research, teaching and clinical service.

Overview
About the Role
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Space Plasma group at Queen Mary University of London to work on a project exploring the controlling role that turbulence plays in the inner heliosphere using plasma simulations and data analysis. The post is funded by STFC as part of a Consolidated Grant. The project will use plasma simulations to study how turbulence can control the key plasma processes of particle energization, shock dynamics, and turbulence-driven reconnection. The simulations will be motivated and tested against results from Parker Solar Probe (PSP), Solar Orbiter and Magnetospheric Multiscale MMS. The project will build on collaborations within the Space Plasma group with Prof David Burgess, Dr Chris Chen and Dr Heli Hietala, and there will be opportunities for collaborations across the data/simulation boundary. Queen Mary offers extensive career support for all team members.
