This is an exciting time to join the University of Southampton, a global top-100 university with a reputation for delivering world-class education and research that addresses some of society’s biggest challenges. We are seeking a Research Fellow in Liquid Metal Artificial Enzymes to join the School of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) at the University of Southampton. The successful candidate will contribute to an interdisciplinary research programme focused on the design, synthesis, and characterisation of liquid metal nanomaterials as catalytic artificial enzymes for biomedical and bioengineering applications. The role will involve developing gallium-based liquid metal nanostructures and catalytic systems, investigating their physicochemical properties, catalytic mechanisms, and interactions with biological environments. The postholder will design and conduct experiments to evaluate catalytic activity, stability, and functionality in biologically relevant conditions. You will contribute to experimental design, data analysis, and the preparation of research publications, while working collaboratively with researchers across materials science, nanotechnology, and bioengineering. The successful candidate will also contribute to mentoring postgraduate researchers, supporting collaborative research projects, and assisting with the preparation of future research funding proposals. About You You will hold a PhD in Materials Science, Nanotechnology, Biomedical Engineering, Chemistry, Bioengineering, or a closely related discipline (or have equivalent professional experience), with a strong background in experimental research. Experience in one or more of the following areas would be advantageous: Nanomaterials synthesis and characterisation Liquid metal materials or gallium-based nanomaterials Artificial enzymes or nanozymes Catalysis at biointerfaces or reactive nanomaterials Advanced materials characterisation techniques (e.g., electron microscopy, spectroscopy, surface analysis) You will be motivated to work in a multidisciplinary research environment, collaborating with researchers across engineering, materials science, and biomedical fields. Strong organisational skills, scientific curiosity, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively will be essential for success in the role. What We Can Offer You We offer a comprehensive benefits package including: Generous annual leave plus 6 University closure days and bank holidays University pension scheme Discounted private healthcare and dental cover Company sick pay Flexible working options Excellent family leave arrangements You will also benefit from access to the University’s excellent research facilities, training and development opportunities, and a vibrant interdisciplinary research environment. Southampton is a dynamic coastal city with excellent transport connections, offering a fantastic place to live, work and collaborate. At the University of Southampton we are committed to creating a culture of inclusion, respect and equality of opportunity. We recruit based on merit and welcome applications from all candidates who share our commitment to building an inclusive environment.

The School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at the University of Surrey invites applications for a full-time Postdoctoral Research Fellow position, focussing on mechanistic modelling of pharmaceutical processes. This role offers a unique opportunity to join a dynamic research team focused on advancing the understanding of pharmaceutical formulation and manufacturing processes. The role The post holder will develop and implement mechanistic models to analyse and predict the behaviour of pharmaceutical processes. Your work will address key challenges within these processes, constructing robust models and simulations that deepen the understanding of the underlying physics involved. The ultimate goal is to create predictive, physics-based models that optimise and control pharmaceutical manufacturing processes effectively. Your main responsibility is to develop and enhance discrete element models (DEM), integrating physics-based mechanistic models to simulate complex fluid and particulate systems. About you This role requires independent initiative, teamwork, and a proactive approach to problem-solving and innovation in pharmaceutical process modelling. The ideal candidate will possess a strong numerical background with proficient programming skills and a proven research record through publications and code development. Experience in developing discrete element models (DEM) or hybrid models, such as DEM-CFD or DEM-SPH, is essential. For this position, a doctoral degree in a relevant discipline is required, although candidates nearing completion may be considered. Exceptional candidates with extensive experience may also be considered. The project involves collaboration with UK and international universities and industry partners, so strong teamwork and communication skills are essential. This is a unique opportunity for motivated candidates to contribute significantly to cutting-edge research in pharmaceutical process modelling. How to apply Please apply on the University website with your CV and cover letter also answering the criteria questions. Further details Job Description
