Offering a unique international education experience, XJTLU brings together excellent research practice and expertise from both institutions and gives students the skills and knowledge they need to secure careers in a global marketplace. XJTLU now has over 25,000 enrolled students in both Suzhou and Liverpool in the UK, with plans to grow to about 28,000 students by 2025. There are currently about 2,000 staff, among which about 1,000 academic staff, with an almost even split between citizens of the People’s Republic of China and international passport holders. XJTLU offers our undergraduates and postgraduates over 100 programmes with an interesting and diverse spectrum of courses. XJTLU is entering a new and exciting phase of its development as part of its strategic priorities for the next ten years. Adopting a new higher education model based on the concept of Syntegrative Education (SE), XJTLU is currently opening a new Entrepreneurial Education site in Taicang, part of wider Suzhou, where the Entrepreneur College (Taicang) is located. The Taicang site will be a pioneer of, and educational model for, the future campus in addressing challenges arising from the 4th Industrial Revolution. Other new initiatives include new working partnerships with Xi’an Jiaotong University, the continued development of the four new Academies, and exploration of further potential locations to develop the SE model.

Our School is composed of a tight-knit professional family of international and world renowned scholars and serves as a beacon for interdisciplinary collaboration and high-quality research outputs. Recently, we have experienced significant growth and success in our student numbers, academic programming, faculty recruitment, scientific publications, and research funding, which now rank us among the top tier SCIs on a global scale. Embracing our global identity, our SCI proudly champions international exchange, cooperation and partnership. We welcome and encourage scholars and students from around the world to join our growing academic community, infusing our School environment with a rich diversity of perspectives, ideas and experiences. Our commitment to intercultural dialogue enhances our own learning community and contributes to the global discourse on science and its transformative power to reshape our world. For more information, please visit https://www.xjtlu.edu.cn/en/study/departments/school-of-science The Department of Biosciences and Bioinformatics (BIO) is our best established unit and focuses on molecular biosciences, biomedical sciences and bioinformatics (AI). It has recruited highly accomplished faculty (four colleagues among the Top 2% most highly cited researchers according to Stanford University and three among Elsevier’s most highly cited researchers in China) from globally distinguished institutions working in these key disciplines. Although relatively young, the Department has already established a solid reputation, as indicated by the growing number of high-quality publications, increased citations, success in securing external grant awards by its staff (e.g. from the National Natural Science Foundation of China and others) and numerous national and international research collaborations (e.g. with Novartis and Unilever plc). It has state-of-the-art instrumentation housed in custom-built labs and receives excellent technical support. The Department currently offers Bachelors, Masters and PhD degree programmes in Biological Sciences and Bioinformatics and most recently, Biomedical Sciences. Our research is brought directly into the classroom, providing a learning and teaching experience that combines theory with the most current knowledge in Biosciences and Bioinformatics. Our degrees are awarded by the University of Liverpool and accredited by the Royal Society of Biology in the United Kingdom. The Department provides a truly supportive international environment for both teaching and research, with more than half of our academic staff born outside of mainland China. The Department is under strong leadership and entering an exciting new phase of development focused on the “Biomedical Sciences”, which is a key priority area for the School of Science, XJTLU and the Suzhou provincial government. This is a strategic response to both the growing market demand for Biomedical professionals and the existing strengths of the Department. The newly launched BSc in Biomedical Sciences is quite innovative in scope and aims to train young professionals for distinguished careers in the field.

Applications are invited for a Faraday Institution funded post to work with Prof. Giles Richardson in the Applied Mathematics Group in Mathematical Sciences. The project is to develop mathematical models of lithium-ion and sodium-ion battery operation as part of the Multiscale Modelling Project, a large multi-institutional grant, which is held in collaboration with a wider group of scientists and engineers who are investigating the process from both theoretical and experimental perspective. The lithium-ion battery industry is a multi-billion dollar industry that is expanding rapidly in order to meet the needs of the growing electric vehicle and energy storage markets. However, the operation of batteries in real devices remains incompletely understood. This is particularly true for systems based on phase-change energy storage materials, where the material undergoes a phase transition during lithium insertion, as well as for sodium-ion batteries. The goal of our part of the project is to (i) develop models for lithium storage in phase-change materials (such as lithium-iron-phosphate), (ii) develop efficient solution methods for these models, (iii) integrate these models into models of the full cell simulations and (iv) develop models for sodium-ion batteries. The successful candidate will join a leading sustainable energy modelling group with notable achievements, including the commercial Li-ion battery simulation software DandeLiion and the widely used open-source perovskite solar cell simulation software IonMonger. The role will focus on developing continuum models describing the processes that occur during battery operation. The work will be conducted in close collaboration with experimental partners across the UK, whose data will be used to validate the models. These models will ultimately be incorporated into software packages widely used within the battery research and industrial communities. Applicants should have a strong track record of research in mathematical modelling with expertise in at least one of the areas: numerical methods, continuum mechanics and partial differential equations. Candidates should either have, or be close to obtaining, a PhD in applied mathematics, physics, engineering or a related area. You should have experience of solving problems, organising research, pursuing new research areas and be able to demonstrate a high-quality research track-record. This interdisciplinary research program requires you to be able to work in a team, collaborate across multiple disciplines and have strong written, verbal and presentational skills. Salary will be within the range £36,636 - £44,746 per annum, depending on qualifications and experience. This post is available from June 1st 2026, or as soon as possible thereafter, and will be offered on a fixed-term contract until March 31st 2030. Informal enquiries may be addressed to Prof. Giles Richardson, please email: G.Richardson@soton.ac.uk.
