Closing Date: 26 Aug 2026

Department: Management, Specialist and Administration

Salary: £31,236 to £37,694 pro rota per annum

The CEREBRIS project is groundbreaking project tackling one of the most pressing health challenges: neurological disease. These conditions now account for the highest share of global disability. By age 75, one in three people will be affected by a neurological condition, and one in five women will experience a stroke each year. These conditions disproportionately affect low-and-middle income countries. There is a critical need for solutions that are scalable, affordable and personalised to patients.

CEREBRIS is a European Innovation Council (EIC) Pathfinder Open 2025 project involving an innovative, data-driven approach to managing neurological diseases. It aims to develop a secure, federated and explainable ecosystem- starting with stroke care. Its AI models will be designed from multiple types of patient data- such as brain scans, motion patterns and brain signals- to help doctors understand and predict more objectively how an individual is progressing and will recover after a brain injury. Using privacy-preserving technologies, the system will allow hospitals and clinicians to work together without ever sharing raw data, ensuring trust and compliance with global regulations. 

Driven by a multidisciplinary European consortium with deep expertise in neurology, AI, neurotechnology, and clinical translation, CEREBRIS will transform the entire stroke pathway- from early diagnosis to recovery. By delivering precise diagnostics and targeted rehabilitation, CEREBRIS will significantly reduce long term disability, substantially reduce healthcare expenses, and set a new standard for brain health globally.

This is a research-intensive role, with the expectation of significant contributions to research excellence, translational medicine, and innovation. 

Working alongside Prof Michael Yang, Prof Damien Coyle and the CEREBRIS team associated with the Bath Institute for the Augmented Human and Centre for Spatial Intelligence, the Research Associate will develop novel artificial intelligence methods for the analysis and integration of multimodal biomedical data, as described in the CEREBRIS work plan. The research will focus on developing advanced generative and foundation AI models that learn shared representations from neuroimaging, wearable physiological signals, movement analysis and clinical data to improve the understanding, assessment and prediction of post-stroke motor function and recovery.

About you

The postholder will design, implement and evaluate state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms for multimodal data fusion, representation learning and predictive modelling, including the development of scalable AI pipelines and synthetic data generation approaches. The role will also contribute to privacy-preserving and federated learning methodologies to enable secure analysis of distributed healthcare datasets and support the translation of AI technologies into clinically relevant tools for stroke prognosis and personalised rehabilitation.

The post-holder will be expected to publish the results of the research in high impact journal publications (e.g. T-PAMI, IJCV) and top-tier AI conferences (e.g. NeurIPS, ICLR, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV). Experience of AI research (e.g. diffusion models, agentic AI), developing and applying technologies including deep learning using platforms such as Keras, Pytorch and/or experience of optimising the performance of software for high-performance computing on GPU clusters is requirement for this role.

Essential:

• A PhD (or equivalent experience and professional qualification) in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Machine Learning, Biomedical Engineering, Computational Neuroscience or a closely related discipline. 
• Experience with multimodal AI, foundation models, generative AI or representation learning. 
• Experience developing AI, machine learning or signal processing methods using frameworks such as PyTorch and/or TensorFlow. 
• Evidence of research excellence, including publications in high-quality peer-reviewed journals or top-tier conferences. 
• Excellent programming, analytical, written and verbal communication skills. 
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage competing priorities and meet project deadlines. 
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively within a multidisciplinary and international research team. 
• A commitment to conducting research to the highest professional and ethical standards. 

Desirable:

• Hands-on experience acquiring, processing or analysing EEG and/or fNIRS data, with the ability and enthusiasm to work across both modalities. 
• Experience integrating neurophysiological, neuroimaging and/or movement datasets. 
• Experience with GPU-accelerated computing or high-performance computing environments.
• Experience contributing to research proposals, supervising students or working within collaborative research projects. 

Further information

This is a full time (36.5 hours per week) fixed term role with an expected duration of 36 months.

Department: Operations & Facilities Support

Salary: £26,301 to £26,600 pro rata
Please note the annual salary quoted is inclusive of a market supplement to ensure the annual pay rate aligns with our commitment as a voluntary living wage employer.

Chemical separations are critical to almost every aspect of our daily lives, from the energy we use to the medications we take. Separations consume 10-15% of the total energy used in the world, with novel membranes having the potential to make these separations 10x more energy efficient and save millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions. However, commercial membranes do not possess the necessary selectivity to deliver these savings, and novel membrane materials are often non scalable nor sustainable. One post is offered to tackle these challenges: 

In the 10-months post-doctoral position you will work on the manufacturing of monolayer nanoporous graphene membranes for liquid separations. 

You will join a multidisciplinary group with expertise in materials, chemistry and process engineering, working with Prof.s John Chew and Davide Mattia, Dr Shiqi Huang in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Bath, UK: https://www.bath.ac.uk/campaigns/membranes-research-expertise/ 

About you

You should have a PhD in Chemical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Material Science or a closely related field and a track-record in membrane fabrication, characterisation and testing. Practical experience in membrane fabrication using graphene or other 2D materials and testing of membranes for liquid separations are highly desirable. Expertise in mathematical modelling is a bonus point. You should also have expertise in advanced characterisation techniques like Raman spectroscopy, AFM, SEM, TEM and XPS. 

Further Information 

This role is offered on a full time (36.5 hours per week) fixed term basis with an expected duration of 10 months. 

For informal discussions about the role please contact either Dr Shiqi Huang, sh3292@bath.ac.uk, Prof Davide Mattia, d.mattia@bath.ac.uk, or Prof John Chew, Y.M.Chew@bath.ac.uk

Closing Date: 19 Aug 2026

Department: Education & Research

Salary: £47,389 to £56,535

We are seeking to recruit a highly motivated Research Assistant to join our team to work on a project titled "Direct Expression, Direct Effect: Functional Mapping of Druggable Transcription Factor Interfaces in Pancreatic Cancer".

This project will use innovative molecular and cellular approaches to explore new ways of understanding and targeting pancreatic cancer. You will help build and screen genetically encoded peptide libraries in cancer cell models, with the aim of identifying molecules and mechanisms that influence cancer cell behaviour. The role offers an excellent opportunity to gain experience at the interface of molecular biology, cancer research and drug discovery.

You will develop and expand your practical skills in plasmid library generation and validation, mammalian cell culture, cell-based screening and proteomics. You will also contribute to experimental planning, data analysis, record keeping, preparation of figures and reports, and presentation of results. The post would particularly suit a researcher with practical experience in cancer cell culture or proteomics but is open to anyone with a strong drive to develop methodological expertise in these interdisciplinary techniques, a curiosity-driven approach to research, and a genuine interest in understanding pancreatic cancer and how it can be more effectively treated.

You will join a collaborative and supportive research team focused on developing new chemical and biological approaches to treat cancer. Training will be provided in relevant techniques, and you will be supported to develop increasing independence over the course of the project.

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 time can be used for activities that support your career development and personal growth, including workshops, training courses, mentoring, networking, conferences, public engagement, and preparation of future PhD/job applications.

About you

We encourage applicants from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. You will hold a degree in biochemistry, natural sciences, pharmacology, chemistry or a related discipline. Some practical experience from your degree or other equivalent laboratory experience in standard molecular biology techniques such as PCR, gel electrophoresis and DNA sequencing is desirable. You will have a good understanding of cell biology, with practical experience of cancer cell culture being highly beneficial. Experience with the preparation of proteomics samples and subsequent data analysis would be highly advantageous but is not essential. We value reliability, care in laboratory practice and willingness to learn as much as formal experience. Excellent communication and organisational skills, the ability to work both independently and as part of a collaborative research team, and enthusiasm for learning new experimental techniques are essential.

Further information

This is a full time (36.5 hours per week) fixed term role.

Department: Management, Specialist and Administration

Salary: £47,389 to £56,535

You will join a highly engaging and supportive environment as part of our Physics Technician Team, working at the heart of a department that continues to evolve and grow. This is a temporary role, providing short-term technical support to the Department, and we will provide appropriate training and development opportunities to help you succeed quickly and make a meaningful contribution during your time with us.

As part of our technical team, you will support the Department of Physics by providing high-quality technical and electronics expertise across our teaching and research laboratory spaces. Working in a collaborative environment across multiple buildings, you will contribute to the smooth running of laboratory activities, with particular responsibility for the maintenance, fault-finding, and repair of electrical and electronic equipment.

You will work closely with academic and technical colleagues to develop and construct teaching laboratory equipment and experimental setups, supporting activities across a range of year groups where required. You will also play an active role in supporting a semester of undergraduate teaching, working with students in laboratory settings to help them carry out experiments safely, develop practical skills, and make effective use of equipment.

A significant part of the role will involve providing bespoke electronics support to research laboratories, including the design and fabrication of custom analogue and digital circuits and equipment to detailed specifications. Depending on your experience, you may also contribute to the development of software for instrumentation and measurement systems (for example using LabVIEW), or support projects involving 3D printing or CAD design for both teaching- and research-based activities.

About you

You will bring a scientific or technical background, and while a degree in Electronics or Physics would be an advantage, this is not essential. What matters most is a practical, problem-solving approach, strong electronics knowledge, and the ability to apply this effectively in a laboratory or research environment.

Experience working with electronic systems, laboratory instrumentation, or bespoke equipment in a technical or research setting would be particularly valuable. Alongside strong hands-on electronics experience, an interest in supporting teaching and helping students develop practical laboratory skills will be important for this role.

We’re looking for someone who can demonstrate:

• The ability to organise and prioritise workload effectively to meet deadlines.
• Clear and effective communication skills, with the confidence to engage a range of colleagues and students as needed.
• A collaborative approach, working well within the technical team and with academic staff.
• An awareness of health and safety compliance; experience producing risk assessments or COSHH documentation would be an advantage.

If you enjoy solving technical problems, creating practical electronic solutions, and contributing to the effective delivery of teaching, research and laboratory activities within a dynamic academic environment, we would be excited to hear from you.

Further information

This is a full time (36.5 hours per week) fixed term role until March 2027.

For an informal conversation about the role, please contact the Technical Manager for Physics, Jenny Williams (j.williams@bath.ac.uk), or the Technical Director, Daniel Lou-Hing (delh20@bath.ac.uk).
