Post-Doctoral Research Associate

About us

College School London is amongst one of the best universities on the earth; we’re ranked ninth within the 2024 QS World College Rankings and rated 2nd within the UK for analysis energy within the Analysis Excellence Framework 2021. Based in 1826, UCL is a multidisciplinary college with greater than 16,000 workers and 50,000 college students from different 150 totally different international locations.

Established in 1847, Mechanical Engineering hosts many recognised world-leaders of their fields. Within the Manufacturing Futures Laboratory, we research the science of droplets, from breakup to splashing. We additionally research droplet affect on regular and shifting liquids, on mushy and exhausting solids and on patterned surfaces resembling materials. Furthermore, our analysis outcomes are sometimes coated by the broader worldwide media such because the New Scientist, Scientific American, and In style Mechanics.

In regards to the function

This can be a joint undertaking between The UCL Nice Ormond Road Institute of Baby Well being (GOS ICH) and UCL Mechanical Engineering.

The physical-mechanical interactions that form our skulls throughout infancy are poorly understood. This lack of basic information limits our means to advance therapy of a variety of craniofacial circumstances largely affecting youngsters. This can be a vital engineering problem because of the complexity of this method. On this undertaking (CranioMech) you’ll tackle this problem and significant hole in our information whereas specializing in creating a revolutionary remedy for a significant craniofacial situation referred to as craniosynostosis (CS).

CranioMech goals to: (1) additional develop the brand new remedy in mouse and unravel the basic underlying mechanism by which it really works; (2) take a look at its scalability in bigger animal fashions; and (3) perform a sequence of proof of idea research in preparation for the primary human trials, whereas unravelling the bio mechanics of present therapies of CS.

About you

The profitable applicant could have a PhD in a related self-discipline, e.g. Biosciences or is close to completion. They may have expertise of utilizing fundamental laboratory strategies (i.e. histology and immunohistochemistry) and an excellent information of well being and security evaluation/good laboratory practise. Expertise in presenting and publishing work in main conferences and journals within the area of biomedical science is important. Expertise in working with laboratory animals (i.e. mouse and pig) can be advantageous.

Appointment at Grade 7 depends upon having been awarded a PhD; if this isn’t the case, the preliminary appointment will likely be at Analysis Assistant Grade 6B with fee at Grade 7 being backdated to the date of ultimate submission of the PhD thesis. Please notice the submit is for twenty-four months within the first occasion.
