    Major emphasis is placed on development of novel instrumentation that pushes the envelop in terms of sensitivity as well as spatial and temporal resolution. This position would suit an outstanding self-motivated, creative and career-oriented individual possessing a PhD or postdoctoral experience in physics, biophysics, optics or a related field. Applicants with experience of using PALM, STORM, 4pi, STED and TIRF-based optical microscopy for imaging molecules, cellular structures and/or nanoparticles will be strongly considered as will those with a working knowledge of image processing and software development.

    The Leuphana University of Lüneburg in Germany is currently undergoing a process of renewal. Since the fall of 2007, Leuphana has been developing a new model for higher education that is based on humanist values, sustainability and student-centered learning. Having established the College, the Graduate School and the Professional School, the University now intends to raise its profile by offering forty new professorships in various academic fields within the Incubator project. The Innovation Incubator of Lüneburg is a European project for regional economic development involving nearly EUR 100m. It is a major program aimed at regional development, initiated by the Leuphana University and the German Federal State of Lower Saxony. This project, funded mainly by the European Fund for Regional Development (EFRE) and supported by the Leuphana University, aims at moving toward sustainable modernization and development of the Lüneburg region. Lüneburg is located near the City of Hamburg, Northern Germany.

    We are seeking to recruit a Senior Research Fellow who can make a significant contribution to the future development of the Centre. We welcome applications from individuals with backgrounds in any of the following disciplines: social policy; sociology; psychology, economics; statistics; or related fields.

    You should have excellent quantitative research skills which can be applied to a range of social policy issues related to personal finance. You should also have a proven ability to manage a portfolio of research projects and experience of managing research staff. Ideally, you will have a track record of generating research funding from a range of sources or be able to demonstrate the ability to do so.


    The Bristol Research Initiative for the Dynamic Global Environment (BRIDGE) at the University of Bristol is a world leader in the field of palaeoclimate modelling. One of the main aims of the group is to better understand and predict the causes of past climate change. We wish to appoint a postdoctoral researcher to carry out studies of extreme warm climate of the distant past (Mesozoic era). These climates are interesting since most climate models are unable to reproduce many features of these epochs. The research will focus on quantifying the potential uncertainty in simulations of the period caused by uncertainty from boundaryThe Bristol Research Initiative for the Dynamic Global Environment (BRIDGE) at the University of Bristol is a world leader in the field of palaeoclimate modelling.

    Cereal Scientist (Ref: CS/AFRC/0710) - The researcher will focus on formulating novel, healthy cereal-based snacks for the elderly. The ingredients and formulations used in the project will target the specific areas of malnutrition in elderly consumers. The appointee will have responsibility for conducting extensive studies relating to extrusion and baking properties, shelf-life and texture profiling, sensory analysis and nutritional characterization of the products. A fundamental scientific characterization of the molecular properties of the doughs and optimized products will also need to be undertaken using technologies such as NMR and microscopy. S/he will be expected to liaise with industry and be actively involved in the dissemination and commercial uptake of the results. This appointment will be made on a contract basis for a period of up to 48 months.

    A unique opportunity exists for four outstanding post-doctoral scholars to join a dynamic interdisciplinary team investigating how Indigeneity is expressed and understood in our complex, globalising world. With funding of €2.36M over five years from the European Research Council, this frontier research, led by Professor Helen Gilbert at Royal Holloway (University of London), focuses on performance in relation to four conceptual themes: ‘Commodity and Spectacle’, ‘Heritage and Material Culture’, ‘Reconciliation and Social Cohesion’ and ‘Mobility and Belonging’. Applicants will be considered from across a range of disciplines including, but not limited to theatre and performance studies, film, cultural geography, anthropology, history, indigenous studies, sociology, politics, dance, ethnomusicology, international relations.

     scholarship for a PhD on advanced multifunctional structures is available at the Doctoral School in aerospace sciences and technologies of CISAS - Center of Studies and Activities for Space, University of Padua (Italy), under the supervision of Professor Ugo Galvanetto and Dr. Alessandro Francesconi.
    Multifunctional structures are capable of performing multiple primary functions simultaneously or sequentially in time, and are being developed to improve system performance by reducing the redundancy of subsystem materials and functions. So far research has been focused on manufacturing issues and the impact behaviour has been largely overlooked, even though candidate applications include fields in which dynamic response is dominant.

    Engineering & Technology (CSET) award, in addition to
    significant industry funding. The BDI carries out cutting-edge research focused on the development of next-generation
    biomedical diagnostic devices measuring indicators of disease. Our world-class research team currently includes seven
    industry partners (Analog Devices, J&J Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Becton Dickinson, Inverness Medical Innovations,
    Biosurfit and Millipore), and five clinical and academic partners including the Royal College of Surgeons Ireland (RCSI)
    in Dublin, the National Centre for Biomedical Engineering Science (NCBES) at NUI Galway, Tyndall National Institute
    (TNI) in University College Cork, Trinity College Dublin (TCD) and the host institution at Dublin City University (DCU).
    Having recently secured an additional €19.1M from Science Foundation Ireland, and associated funding from our
    industry partners, we are now seeking applications from suitably qualified research staff to participate in our suite of
    exciting new research programmes commencing October 2010.

    • Masters degree in chemistry or physics with excellent grades.
    Equivalent studies and degree will also be considered.
    • Solid background or previous experience in one of the following research fields is an advantage: inorganic or physical chemistry, solid state or condensed matter physics.
    • Excellent language skills, especially English, to evolve in a multilingual environment.

    Research in biomechanics, soft body modelling and deformation registration, numerical methods for soft tissue modelling, mechanics of continuous environments, modelling and analysis of fluids and capillary flows. The applicant would participate in European Union financed FP7 Framework projects SAFROS and I-SUR dedicated to surgical automation.
    Requirements: solid background in physics, biomechanics and numerical methods, finate element analysis, thorough understanding of experimental methodology, good communication skills and teamworking experience.
