The Co-Centre for Climate+ Biodiversity+ Water is seeking to recruit an experienced and motivated Research Fellow to play an active role as part of a new research team at Queen's University Belfast. The Co-Centre is an exciting new tri-jurisdictional initiative spanning Northern Ireland, Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland, which is managed jointly by QUB and Trinity College Dublin and funded by the Science Foundation Ireland (SFI), DAERA and UKRI. The Co-Centre is the home of research, innovation, and policy development across the interlinked challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, and water degradation on the islands of Ireland and Britain, with the goal of integrating research across both islands to address these crises. This Research Fellowship will contribute mainly to a project on projecting biodiversity change. In this project we aim to forecast global vegetation responses driven by climate, land use, and traits, and apply these projections to enable population risk forecasting. We will apply the Global Warming Levels and "storyline" climate projections produced for Ireland and the UK with our biodiversity models to project effects of these new projections on the types of species that will occur under these new climatic conditions and their dynamics. There is a possibility to look at animal responses in addition to vegetation. The post will be part of the School of Biological Sciences at QUB but will work as part of a multi-disciplinary and inclusive team based in the dedicated Co-Centre Hub. The successful candidate will have responsibilities in independent research, supervision, planning, collaborations, and outreach. About the person The successful candidate must have, and our application should clearly demonstrate that you meet the following essential criteria: Hold or be about to obtain a PhD* (*obtained within 3 months of commencement of employment) in ecology or related field. Have substantial relevant research experience in (at least some of the following): GIS; geospatial modelling; ecological modelling; land use change and/or climate change impacts. Demonstrable evidence of experience and skills in: data analysis, report writing and/or peer-reviewed publication. To be successful at shortlisting stage, please ensure you clearly evidence in your application how you meet the essential and, where applicable, desirable criteria listed in the Candidate Information on our website. This post is available for 2 years or until 31 December 2029, whichever is soonest. Fixed term contract posts are available for the stated period in the first instance but in particular circumstances may be renewed or made permanent subject to availability of funding.

Schemes of Service: Research Division: Food, Chemical and Biotechnology Employment Type: Fixed Term As a University of Applied Learning, the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) works closely with industry partners to deliver translational, impact-driven research. This role supports applied food processing research projects with strong industry relevance, focusing on product development, process optimization, and project management. Key Responsibilities Lead and manage applied food processing related research projects in collaboration with Principal Investigators, Co-PIs, and industry partners. Lead applied research on mushroom-, mycelium-, and plant‑based (PB) protein ingredients, with emphasis on improving nutrition, flavour, digestibility, and techno‑functional performance. Design and execute physicochemical and biological processing strategies for protein enhancement, including thermal (UHT, ohmic heating), non‑thermal (ultrasound, high‑pressure homogenisation, microwave, pulsed electric fields), and solvent‑shifting approaches (pH and salt shifting). Evaluate and integrate green processing technologies, including deep eutectic solvents, for protein extraction, off‑taste reduction, and sustainability‑driven process optimisation. Lead the process design for scale-up fractionation and separation from bench-top, to pilot plant scale production involving centrifugation, clarification, recovery and separation of supernatant, and drying process. Support AI‑enabled data analysis, including collaboration on Artificial Neural Networks and Gaussian Process modelling, to accelerate processing optimisation. Consolidate experimental, techno‑economic, and sustainability data into robust technical evidence packages for project reporting, stakeholder engagement, and regulatory or translational decision‑making. Coordinate project timelines, milestones, budgets, procurement of consumables and equipment, and compliance with grant and institutional requirements. Prepare scientific manuscripts, technical reports, progress updates, and final deliverables for funding agencies and stakeholders. Engage and communicate effectively with internal and external collaborators to support progress meetings, reporting, and technology transfer activities. Supervise and mentor junior researchers, engineers, students, and visiting scholars involved in the projects. Support dissemination of research outcomes through conferences, stakeholder meetings, and approved communication channels. The candidate is to communicate with all relevant internal and external stakeholders as required to meet the project deliverables. Any other adhoc duties assigned by supervisor. Job Requirements PhD in Food Science, Food Technology, Chemical Engineering, or a closely related discipline. Strong Master’s degree holders with relevant experience may be considered. Strong technical background in protein functionality, structure–function relationships, and food biopolymer systems, particularly in plant‑ and fungal‑derived proteins. Demonstrated experience with food processing technologies, including thermal and non‑thermal treatments, fermentation, extrusion, or texturisation methods. Working knowledge of process optimisation tools (e.g. RSM) and familiarity with data‑driven or AI‑assisted modelling approaches is an advantage. Experience in pilot‑scale processing, scale‑up assessment, or techno‑economic evaluation of food ingredients or processes. Hands-on experience in processing trials, analytical characterization, and data interpretation. Ability to translate complex experimental outcomes into industry‑relevant insights, supporting product development, clinical study readiness, and market‑facing prototypes. Strong project ownership mindset, with the ability to balance scientific depth, cost, scalability, and industrial feasibility. Experience working with industrial collaborators, pilot-scale facilities, or product development teams is highly advantageous. Strong scientific writing skills, with experience in preparing manuscripts, technical reports, and funding-related documentation. Detail-oriented, self-motivated, and able to work independently as well as collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams. Good communication and stakeholder management skills, including liaison with vendors, suppliers, and external partners.
