This is an exciting opportunity for a skilled and motivated researcher, with an interest in working at the interface of chemistry and reactor design & development. The vision of this project is taking a promising new reactor technology, the Spinning Mesh Disc Reactor (SMDR) from the lab into industry to enable commercialisation of resource efficient chemistry to align with the UK NetZero 2050.

This project will harness the advantages of the SMDR to develop three case studies to scale-up resource efficient chemistry demonstrating: (i) enzyme catalysis, (ii) photochemical synthesis and (iii) plastic recycling. Enzymes, due to their selectivity, show promise to synthesise complex chemicals at ambient conditions, including pharmaceuticals. Visible light allow for the direct conversion of solar energy into chemical energy as it removes the need to use photovoltaic devices to generate electricity for use in heating in chemical synthesis. Thirdly, catalytic breakdown of plastics into their constituent monomers can be reused to develop products, with properties that match those of virgin polymer.

The PDRA will work closely with other researchers from the department of Chemistry, the Institute for Mathematical Innovation and at the University of Nottingham. There is also an industrial advisory board to provide a commercial perspective.

About you

The ideal candidate will have:

• A PhD in a relevant subject area.
• Extensive lab experience, preferably with catalytic reaction systems.
• Prior experience or a demonstrable interest in working at the interface of chemistry and chemical engineering and a willingness to learn.
• Good organisational and presentation skills

As a member of Research Staff at the University of Bath, you will be encouraged to take a minimum of 10 days professional development pro rata per year.

Further Information 

This role is offered on a full time (36.5 hours) fixed term basis with an expected end date of 30 September 2027.

Part time working and/or some degree of flexible working may be possible and if interested in applying on this basis, you should make this clear on your application form.

Reliably detecting heat stress in time has been always a challenge in cattle barn. Early signs of heat stress can be subtle while conditions may deteriorate rapidly, making timely intervention difficult. After the first step of detecting heat stress, farmers need clear and practical recommendations on what actions to take. To provide solutions for these challenges, we invite applications to a PhD position, aiming at designing and developing an AI-agent to detect heat stress in early stage and provide actionable recommendations to farmers.

Project description: The candidates are inquired to prepare for a 2 – 3 pages project description for the topic, including a sound state-of-the-art, the key tasks, and a research plan.

Qualifications and specific competences:

The successful candidate for this PhD position must have:

• A MSc degree in engineering, e.g., Mechanical Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, or Energy Engineering.
• Good knowledge in building ventilation systems, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, machine learning, data analysis, and coding e.g., Python.
• Understand sensors, actuators, data acquisition, and control systems for monitoring and managing animal environments.
• Highly motivated in design and development of reliable LLM-based agents, integrating APIs and indoor environmental control systems, and translating natural-language and combining real-time and historical data to provide actionable recommendations.
• Strong written and oral communication skills in English.
• Critical thinking ability and excellent problem-solving skills

As a Research Associate in Motile Vesicle Engineering for Mitochondrial Matrix Delivery, you will join a vibrant, multidisciplinary team developing next-generation synthetic biology platforms to overcome one of the central bottlenecks in mitochondrial genome engineering: getting genetic cargo across the double membrane and into the matrix. You will contribute to pioneering research at the interface of synthetic biology, soft matter biophysics and membrane engineering, leading the development of autonomous, motile synthetic vesicles within an ambitious UK consortium spanning Imperial College London, the University of Birmingham and partner Institutions, funded through the UK’s Advanced Research and Invention Agency’s (ARIA) Precision Mitochondria programme.

What you would be doing:

You will take the lead on the design, development, and testing of motile synthetic vesicles capable of delivering genetic cargo into the mitochondrial matrix. You will work closely with collaborators across disciplines, gaining experience in cutting-edge methods at the interface of synthetic biology, soft matter biophysics and membrane engineering.

This position is part of an ARIA-funded Precision Mitochondria programme. As a key member of this collaborative consortium, you will benefit from close interaction with world-class partners working on complementary delivery, editing and transfer technologies, milestone reviews and consortium meetings, and an exceptional environment to advance both your research and career development.

Specifically, you will:

• Design and fabricate motile synthetic vesicles with controlled morphology, topology and membrane composition, optimised for structural stability, autonomous motility and mitochondrial compatibility.
• Implement and quantify biocompatible propulsion mechanisms that drive sustained, directional vesicle motion.
• Develop biological assays using cell-mimetic membrane systems (GUVs with cell-mimic composition), isolated mitochondria and cell cultures, to evaluate membrane engagement, penetration and matrix delivery.
• Combine motility with mitochondrial-targeting ligands to develop a dual strategy of active intracellular exploration followed by selective anchoring.
• Work closely with consortium partners to hybridise vesicle systems with complementary delivery components and contribute to a shared benchmarking and validation framework across the programme.

What we are looking for:

We are seeking a highly motivated, collaborative and forward-thinking researcher. This is a highly practical, hands-on project that will suit someone who enjoys experimental work, is a hands-on problem-solver and finds creative ways to move the project forward.

• A PhD in soft matter/polymer chemistry, physical chemistry, biophysics, bioengineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent research or industrial experience.
• A track record of thriving in vibrant, multidisciplinary, and collaborative research environments, in academia and/or industry.
• Experience designing, executing and troubleshooting complex experimental research programmes.
• Experience with, or strong interest in, active/motile matter, self-assembly, or stimuli-responsive soft materials.

Further Information

This is a full-time post (35 hours per week).

This role is for a fixed-term contract for 18 months, with the possibility of extension.

You will be based in the Department of Life Sciences at the South Kensington Campus with visits to White City Campus.

Candidates who have not yet been officially awarded their PhD will be appointed as a Research Assistant.

If you require any further details about the role, please contact: Dr Claudia Contini – c.contini@imperial.ac.uk
