About Us University of Southampton has been awarded funding to develop and host a Public Health National Specialist Centre (PHNSC). The PHNSC provides research advice nationally for Public Health research projects seeking funding within specific areas and including development of award applications, advice on setting up studies, collaboration opportunities and support for PPIE and a Public Health Enabling Research Service (PHERcS), producing guidance, toolkits, governance and ethics and Public Health research delivery in non-NHS settings to equip organisations to host/sponsor their own research and understand the responsibilities and risks. Regionally, the service is available for researchers for training, events and support to increase capability in Public Health research and for local authority partners creating learning partnerships to understand and respond to Public Health research needs and increase Public Health research capacity. About the Role The Senior Research Dissemination Fellow will support our ongoing work by identifying and optimising the research and dissemination outputs of project. You will be required to work proactively across the team to understand the range and depth of work undertaken in the PHERcS team and wider Specialist Centre for Public Health and to prepare quality research outputs for dissemination.  You will have knowledge and experience of research within the public health sector, and to be able to work collaboratively to project delivery dates. You will also be an excellent communicator and able to build relationships both internally and externally. This post is offered on a fixed term until 29/09/2028 basis in the School of Healthcare Enterprise & Innovation. As a school we operate hybrid working with an expected minimum of 20% in office. This role is available as a fractional or full-time post.

Postdoctoral Researcher position in HTMR 2026 – Project AS PS 21 HTMR - Postdoc in phosphorous-based materials as promising cathode for Advanced Sodium-ion batteries About UM6P: Mohammed VI Polytechnic University is an institution dedicated to research and innovation in Africa and aims to position itself among world-renowned universities in its fields The University is engaged in economic and human development and puts research and innovation at the forefront of African development. A mechanism that enables it to consolidate Morocco's frontline position in these fields, in a unique partnership-based approach and boosting skills training relevant for the future of Africa. Located in the municipality of Benguerir, in the very heart of the Green City, Mohammed VI Polytechnic University aspires to leave its mark nationally, continentally, and globally. About HTMR: The High Throughput Multidisciplinary Research Laboratory (HTMR) at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) is a state-of-the-art research facility dedicated to accelerating scientific discovery through automation, digitalization, and high-throughput experimentation. By integrating advanced robotics, intelligent workflows, and multidisciplinary expertise, HTMR enables researchers to rapidly design, synthesize, and optimize materials and processes across fields such as energy, metallurgy, smart materials, chemical engineering, and environmental science. The laboratory bridges fundamental research with industrial applications, helping transform innovative ideas into scalable technologies while reducing development time, cost, and experimental complexity. Starting date: 1st September 2026 Sodium-ion batteries are a growing technology and show promising potential for large scale applications. However, developing efficient positive electrode materials is a key factor in advancing this technology and promoting its use in practical applications. NaSICON (Natrium Super Ionic CONductor) materials have a 3D structure allowing the fast diffusion of sodium during the electrochemical reaction of charge/ discharge as well as good structural and thermal stabilities. This project targets the synthesis, characterization, and electrochemical evaluation of P-based NaSICON-type materials as positive electrodes for sodium-ion batteries. We are looking for an assiduous, ambitious, and engaged Postdoctoral Researcher with a strong background in chemistry of materials, materials science, electrochemistry, materials synthesis and battery research. Key responsibilities: Synthesis of different P-based materials via the sol-gel and solvothermal methods with control over morphology, particle size, and composition. Material characterization using XRD, SEM, EDS, ICP, BET, TGA, FTIR, RAMAN spectroscopy, etc. Electrode preparation, battery assembly, and evaluation of the electrochemical properties versus metallic sodium using different testing techniques (GCPL, CV, GITT, EIS, etc.). Establishing relationships between the physical and chemical properties of P-based cathodes and their electrochemical performance in sodium-ion half-cell and full cell configurations.  Performing advanced characterization using in-situ XRD, XPS, 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy and NMR to investigate material behavior and interfacial chemistry during synthesis and battery operation. Develop mechanistic understanding of cathode operation and degradation, identify pathways to improve the performance and safety of advanced electrochemical cells. Analyzing and interpreting experimental data and communicating findings through manuscripts for peer-reviewed journals, presentations at scientific conferences, internal reports, group meeting presentations. If this topic sounds interesting and you would like to hear more, please contact: Ms. Yousra Moukadiri (yousra.moukadiri@um6p.ma ) or Prof. Aziam Hasna (hasna.aziam@um6p.ma ) Profile: Recent or soon-to-be-completed PhD (within the last 0-5 years) in field of chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, or equivalent. Required hands-on experience with sol-gel and solvothermal synthesis of cathode materials. Strong background in electrochemistry, including experience performing and interpreting galvanostatic testing of half-cells and full cells, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry, etc. Broad understanding of materials science concepts relevant to electrochemical systems, with the ability to apply insights from related research areas to solve battery materials challenges.
