Postdoctoral Research Associate in Chemical-Free Antimicrobial Technology Development University of Liverpool in United Kingdom

Funded PhD opportunity at Coventry University in the Centre for Discoveries in Life Sciences, delivered through the Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership (MIBTP). This project focuses on bioleaching , tantalum recovery , superalloy waste , critical minerals , and environmental biotechnology . The research will investigate microbial mechanisms for mobilising tantalum from superalloy-processing wastes and selectively removing contaminating metals such as calcium and tungsten. It co...

PhD opportunity in programmable DNA nanotechnology for the selective recovery of critical and rare elements at The University of Edinburgh . The project is jointly supervised by Davide Michieletto and Jason Love and explores how DNA nanostructures could enable more selective, reusable, and sustainable recovery of rare-earth elements and other rare and precious metals. These elements are important for electronics, permanent magnets, and low-carbon technologies, but their clean separation and recy...

PhD opportunity at the University of Warwick in a CASE project on combined chemical and biological treatments for man-made plastics . The project sits within the Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership and is supervised by Prof Timothy Bugg and Prof Sébastien Perrier . This research combines polymer degradation , microbiology , biochemistry , materials science , and polymer chemistry to develop new approaches for recycling and treatment of plastic waste. The work will investigate c...

PhD opportunity at the University of York in chemistry , focused on designing new chemical routes to diversify therapeutic peptides via amino-carbonylation . The project is part of the Chemical Synthesis for a Healthy Planet (CSHP) CDT and involves collaboration with Johnson & Johnson , Ian Fairlamb (York), and Molly Stevens (Oxford). This is a strong fit for students interested in organic/medicinal chemistry , peptide synthesis , and translational research at the interface of chemistry and drug...

The University of Liverpool is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Plasma Catalysis to join its School of Engineering and contribute to interdisciplinary research on sustainable chemical conversion. The project focuses on adaptive plasma catalysis for converting CO2, CH4, and other feedstocks into valuable fuels and chemicals. The researcher will contribute to the design, development, and optimisation of plasma-catalytic reactors, alongside catalyst synthesis and characterisation. The r...
