Salary: £46,735 to £55,755

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) to take a key role in the development of a new analytical framework for developing dexterous soft robotic manipulators. The role is funded by The successful applicant will be based at the ºÚÁÏÍø³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ.

The emerging technology of soft robotics exploits flexible and compliant materials for their design. They are able to translate fundamental biological principles into new engineering design rules or combine life-like components into a synthetic structure to create robotic systems that perform very much like a natural system. Soft robotic systems provide a route to increase body flexibility, improve dexterous handling in unstructured environments, enable adaptability of wearable and medical devices, and safer human-machine interaction. Machine Learning (ML) is an emerging technology with significant potential in integrating and embodying soft robotics technologies, but it is in its infancy in this area. This high-risk, high-gain project will provide a step-change and lead to advances at the frontiers of knowledge in soft robotics by creating a new analytical modelling framework which involves new model- and learning-based approaches and their integration to allow modelling, prediction, control and understanding of soft robotic manipulators. The new framework will address and overcome “frustrating unpredictability”, “surprising results”, “ineffectiveness and inaccuracy”, and “unreliability” of the soft manipulators during motion, as well as “a lack of understanding and tools” challenge during research on soft robotics.

The PDRA will be responsible for delivering high-quality research on the topic, including:

• Design and development of soft manipulators.
• Development of a multimodal sensing system and the learning-based models of soft manipulators.
• Model assessment and evaluation.
• Creation of an analytical modelling framework to enable an understanding and the development of dexterous soft robotic manipulators 

This role will suit you if you:

• Hold a PhD degree in a subject area of direct relevance for the project.
• Have previous experience in one or more of the following: modelling, design, control or prototyping of soft robots and systems.
• Have excellent analytical, problem-solving, and project management skills.
• Are self-motivated and have excellent communication skills.

You will be responsible for planning and performing your own research activities. You will be expected to take an active role in supporting PhD and undergraduate research students within the laboratory. You should have excellent interpersonal and communication skills to work as part of a team and discuss your work with a range of audiences.

Salary: £30,805 to £37,174 pro rata

We are seeking an industrious, independent, and ambitious postdoctoral researcher to join a multi-institutional project aimed funded by Versus Arthritis focussed on developing a novel peptide-siRNA conjugate for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). In this project, you will be involved in the synthesis of peptide-siRNA conjugates that are designed to bind specific receptors to enable targeted delivery of disease-modifying nucleic acid agents directly to affected joint cells.

OA is a degenerative joint disorder and a leading cause of pain and disability, affecting over 500 million people worldwide. Currently, no approved treatments exist that can halt or reverse disease progression. Existing pain relief options are often ineffective or associated with adverse side effects. Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) have emerged as a promising new class of therapeutics with unique advantages over traditional drugs. Six siRNA-based therapies are already approved for clinical use. However, a major hurdle in applying siRNA therapeutics to OA is the efficient and targeted delivery of siRNAs to joint-resident cells.

About you

You will hold a PhD in organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, or a related discipline.

You should have practical experience of peptide synthesis, linker chemistries, and the preparation of conjugates with biomolecules, especially nucleic acids.

You should also have a strong track record of carrying out academic or industrial research at the interface of chemistry and biology, ideally evidenced by publications in peer-reviewed journals.

Additional information

The post is available for 12 months and will be primarily supervised by Dr Ian Eggleston (Department of Life Sciences, ºÚÁÏÍø³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ). You will also work closely with Prof Mark Lindsay at ºÚÁÏÍø³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ, and colleagues at University of Birmingham (Professor Simon Jones) and University Nottingham (Prof Vicky Chapman and Dr Federico Dajas-Bailador).

Interviews will take place in the week commencing 11 August 2025.

Department: Education & Research

Salary: £38,249 to £45,413

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Department of Mechanical Engineering, working with the wider academic team on next-generation design and manufacture of composite aerostructures. 

This postdoctoral research position will develop manufacturing methods for non-standard fibre angle composites for future light-weight aerospace structures, thus realising more fully the benefits of fibre reinforced composites. Areas of research include:

• Formability analysis
• Deposition, consolidation and infusion analysis
• Materials testing
• Bonded joint analysis

The role will form part of a fully funded, industry-led project, working with industrial companies ranging in size from UK SMEs to Tier 1 aerospace suppliers. The project will develop analysis and manufacturing methods for non-standard fibre angle composites that will be implemented directly in demonstrator aerospace structures.

As a member of Research Staff at the ºÚÁÏÍø³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ, you will be encouraged to take up a minimum of 10 days professional development pro rata per year

This is a full-time (36.5 hours a week), fixed term position for 24 months.

About you

We encourage applicants to apply if they can demonstrate the following:

• An undergraduate degree in an Engineering or Engineering-related subject and a PhD with appropriate content.
• Proven experience of FEA modelling, design and manufacture of composite structures. 
• Experience in some of the following areas will be a distinct advantage:
• Mechanical testing
• Thermal/mechanical simulation
• Joining methods/technologies
• Simulation tool/process development
• Process optimisation. 
• Candidates should be self-motivated and possess project management and technical communication skills
