Closing Date: 26 May 2026

Department: Management, Specialist and Administration

Salary: £24,685 to £26,093 pro rota per annum

We are looking for a researcher to join our team work on an exciting multi-institution project on circular economy for buildings: BuildZero. 

BuildZero aims to understand if the UK’s needs from its building stock can be met with zero new raw material extraction, zero emissions and zero waste. Our research will show to what extent this vision is achievable and desirable, and provide a platform for translating circular economy approaches into practice and policy at scale.

Within this wider project, your focus will be on understanding the impact of circular economy strategies for buildings, at regional/national scale in the UK. To do this, you will develop models of the current UK building stock and how it will be affected by new construction and demolition activities, as well as strategies such as retrofit, extension, adaptive reuse, component reuse, and material recycling. This will allow us to show to what extent these circular economy strategies really do move us towards zero carbon and zero waste construction at scale. To conduct your work you will be an integral member of the large, multidisciplinary BuildZero project team, and you will also contribute to wider project tasks, events, and outputs. 

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

A lower grade offer may be made (Grade 6) with comparable reduction in responsibilities and amendment in job title to Research Assistant, if a suitable applicant cannot be found to fill the Grade 7 position. Applicants will need to be within six months of their course [PhD] completion date and will be promoted to Research Associate once their PhD has been awarded. 

Please ensure you submit your application via our website. Please note that during initial shortlisting, the panel can only see your application form and your answers to the shortlisting questions; they cannot see your attachments (e.g. your CV), so ensure your answers stand alone.

Please note there are two roles currently being advertised for the BuildZero project at Bath: see also  https://www.bath.ac.uk/jobs/Vacancy.aspx?ref=SS13588 

About you

Our ideal candidate will have:

• Completed a PhD in a relevant discipline.
• Ability to model systems/processes representing buildings stocks, and the effect of circular economy strategies on the stock, resource and waste flows, and energy and emissions.
• Familiarity with issues of circular economy and the built environment, though this could be substituted by a strong ability for interdisciplinary collaboration and a willingness to learn.
• Interest in accounting for uncertainties involved in the scale-up modelling and understanding how this affects the robustness of the findings.

Apart from excellent technical skills, you will need:

• The ability to organise and prioritise your own workload, and to work in a broad interdisciplinary team, both within Bath and across the wider project.
• Excellent oral, interpersonal and written communication skills.

Interaction with academic and industrial partners of BuildZero, and participation in consortium events, will be expected. 

Further information

This is a full time (36.5 hours per week) role initially offered for 30 months and available from June 2026. Part time working may be possible and if interested in applying on this basis you should make this clear on your application form.

Interviews are scheduled to be held on 18 and 19 June. 

We offer a hybrid working arrangement, combining the benefits of remote working with regular on-campus collaboration. You will be required to work on campus 2–3 days per week.

About the role

The MBA Programmes Officer plays a central part in delivering an exceptional experience for our Full-time and Executive MBA students. You’ll work closely with academic staff, professional services teams, and external partners to ensure our flagship programmes run seamlessly from day to day.

This is a varied, hands-on role where no two days look the same. You’ll be the friendly face students turn to, the organisational engine behind module delivery, and the calm presence who keeps everything on track.

In this varied and people-centred role, you’ll play a vital part in ensuring the smooth delivery of our Full-time and Executive MBA programmes. Your work will directly shape the experience of a diverse, globally experienced student community, and you’ll become a trusted point of contact for both students and academic colleagues.

A key part of your role will involve supporting the delivery of teaching and learning activities. You’ll co-ordinate module preparation, scheduling, and logistics, ensuring that academic staff, guest speakers, and external contributors have everything they need. You’ll also help support blended and hybrid learning formats, contributing to a modern and flexible learning environment.

You’ll take responsibility for a wide range of programme administration tasks. This includes producing clear programme information, maintaining high-quality materials, and managing assignment submissions and student records. You’ll respond to queries relating to enrolment, fees, and registration, and you’ll support academic boards and continuous improvement initiatives that enhance the programme’s overall effectiveness.

A significant part of the role centres on student experience. You’ll act as a friendly, approachable first point of contact, offering guidance and helping students navigate their programme. You’ll build strong relationships with student representatives, support feedback processes, and help identify when students may need additional support, signposting them to relevant services. You’ll also contribute to Orientation, pre-arrival communications, and activities that help new students integrate smoothly.

Beyond this, you’ll support engagement and community-building initiatives, working with colleagues to deliver social, networking, and learning support activities. You’ll also assist with student-led initiatives such as mentoring schemes and peer-to-peer sessions, helping to foster a vibrant and supportive MBA community.

About you 

We’re looking for someone who is warm, approachable, and confident working with a wide range of people. You’ll be highly organised and accurate in your work, with a strong commitment to doing things properly and maintaining excellent administrative standards. The role calls for someone who remains calm under pressure, adapts quickly to changing circumstances, and can prioritise effectively when demands are high.

You’ll be motivated by helping others succeed and by creating a positive, supportive environment for students and colleagues alike. Professionalism and discretion are essential, as you’ll often be trusted with sensitive information and situations that require tact and good judgement. Strong communication skills are key, along with exceptional attention to detail and a genuine service mindset that shapes the way you interact with everyone you support.

Department: Management, Specialist and Administration

Salary: £38,784 to £56,535

We are looking for a researcher to join our team work on an exciting multi-institution project on circular economy for buildings: BuildZero.

BuildZero aims to understand if the UK’s needs from its building stock can be met with zero new raw material extraction, zero emissions and zero waste. Our research will show to what extent this vision is achievable and desirable, and provide a platform for translating circular economy approaches into practice and policy at scale.

Within this wider project, your focus will be on understanding the environmental footprint of circular economy strategies into the future. To do this, you will conduct prospective life cycle assessment of BuildZero strategies. This is essential to ensure that selected strategies really do move us towards zero carbon and zero waste construction when the whole life cycle is considered. To conduct your work you will be an integral member of the large, multidisciplinary BuildZero project team, and you will also contribute to wider project tasks, events, and outputs.

A lower grade offer may be made (Grade 6) with comparable reduction in responsibilities and amendment in job title to Research Assistant, if a suitable applicant cannot be found to fill the Grade 7 position. Applicants will need to be within six months of their course [PhD] completion date and will be promoted to Research Associate once their PhD has been awarded. 

Please ensure you submit your application via our website. Please note that during initial shortlisting, the panel can only see your application form and your answers to the shortlisting questions; they cannot see your attachments (e.g. your CV).

About you

Our ideal candidates will have:

• Completed a PhD in a relevant discipline.
• Expertise in life cycle assessment.
• Experience using Brightway 2 and/or openLCA, or other relevant experience in programming (particularly Python).
• Familiarity with issues of circular economy and the built environment, though this could be substituted by a strong ability for interdisciplinary collaboration and a willingness to learn.

Apart from excellent technical skills, you will need:

• The ability to organise and prioritise your own workload, and to work in a broad interdisciplinary team, both within Bath and across the wider project.
• Excellent oral, interpersonal and written communication skills.

Interaction with academic and industrial partners of BuildZero, and participation in consortium events, will be expected. 

Further information

This role is a full time position, initially offered for 2 years and available from July 2026. Part time working may be possible and if interested in applying on this basis you should make this clear on your application form.

Interviews are to be held on 18 and 19 June.

We offer a hybrid working arrangement, combining the benefits of remote working with regular on-campus collaboration. You will be required to work on campus 2–3 days per week.

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

Role

The Digital Portfolio Director will lead the University of Bath’s Digital Foundations Portfolio—a £20–30 million, five-year transformational programme that underpins the University’s strategic priorities and impacts every department and function. This is a rare opportunity to define and deliver digital transformation at scale, shaping how technology, people, and processes come together to create a connected, innovative, and future-ready institution.

In this role, you will:

• Set the vision and operating model for digital transformation, building frameworks and governance from the ground up.
• Lead a complex portfolio spanning research computing, education technology, student and staff experience platforms, and foundational infrastructure.
• Drive measurable benefits, ensuring projects deliver tangible improvements to staff and student experiences.
• Engage senior leadership and stakeholders, managing relationships across diverse groups and key third-party partners such as Infosys.
• Champion cultural change, embedding new ways of working, building organisational capability, and fostering innovation.

This is not a traditional portfolio management role—it requires a visionary leader who thrives on complexity, combines strategic thinking with hands-on delivery, and is passionate about making a real difference. You will have the autonomy to shape what good looks like, influence the University’s digital future, and position Bath as a sector leader in digital transformation.

About You

You are a strategic leader with hands-on delivery experience, passionate about driving complex change and digital transformation. You have a proven track record of designing and delivering organisation-wide change programmes in large, complex environments, underpinned by expert knowledge of best practice in change management. Your background spans both digital and change projects, where you have managed multiple concurrent initiatives with intricate interdependencies and diverse stakeholders. You combine strategic vision with operational agility—setting direction while actively engaging in delivery, removing blockers and accelerating progress. You thrive in complexity, embrace innovation, and have a builder’s mindset—creating new frameworks rather than relying on pre-defined models. With exceptional leadership and communication skills, you inspire teams, influence senior stakeholders, and maintain relentless focus on delivery and measurable impact.

Salary: £38,784 to £46,049 (plus 4.5 % on call allowance in addition to the basic salary)

An exciting opportunity is available for a research assistant to join a collaborative project investigating the molecular mechanisms of temperature sensing in ion channels, with a focus on the TRPM8 channel.

The position is part of a Human Frontier Science Program award: “Understanding the molecular basis of animal cold thermosensation” 

The project aims to understand how thermosensitive ion channels detect and respond to cold temperatures across species adapted to very different thermal environments. In particular, we investigate how evolutionary changes in ion channel proteins may influence their temperature-dependent behaviour, including comparisons between extinct species such as the woolly mammoth and their closest living relatives, such as the Asian elephant.

The research uses molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of ion channels, together with analysis and interpretation of simulation data, to investigate how thermosensitive ion channels respond to temperature changes across different species.

The project is a collaboration with leading experimental researchers in structural biology, electrophysiology, and evolutionary biology.

About you

• Hold (or be close to completing) a degree in a relevant discipline such as Chemistry, Physics, Biological Sciences, Engineering, or a related field.
• Have experience with programming, preferably in Python, and an interest in developing computational skills further.
• Be comfortable working with data analysis and scientific computing.
• Have some familiarity with computational or quantitative approaches applied to physical or biological systems (e.g. modelling, simulations, or data-driven research).
• Be willing to learn and apply computational methods to problems in biophysics, particularly related to membrane proteins.
• Have good problem-solving skills and the ability to work both independently and as part of a research team.
• Be willing to undertake occasional travel (typically once or twice per year) to attend consortium meetings with project partners.

Desirable (but not essential)

• Experience with molecular simulations, modelling, or related computational techniques.
• Familiarity with Unix/Linux environments or high-performance computing.
• Exposure to relevant software tools (e.g. molecular dynamics packages or data analysis libraries).

Further information

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

This is a full time fixed term role (36.5 hours per week for 12 months) with an expected start date of October 2026.
