The University of Leeds is one of the top 80 universities in the world. We have a truly global community, with more than 39,000 students from 170 different countries and over 9,000 staff of 100 different nationalities. Established in 1904, we have a strong tradition of academic excellence, reflected in first-class student education, along with world-leading research that has a real impact around the globe.

The role of Research Administrator will provide support to two key initiatives within the Faculty of Environment:

(1) The Production and Consumption Transformations (PACT) Centre, a collaborative research project that explores how we can align low carbon production and consumption to deliver the step change needed to meet our 2030 targets and set a path towards a fair and just net zero transition. This project brings together three leading UK universities with government partners to deliver actionable insights and ensure real-world impact; 

(2) PROFEED, a collaborative research project that enhances the resilience of EU farming systems. Climate change and soil degradation challenge the resilience of European farming systems, making the transition to locally sourced, sustainable protein crops an urgent priority. PROFEED responds to this challenge by establishing a comprehensive, multi-actor innovation framework to accelerate European self-sufficiency in plant proteins for feed, focusing on viable and sustainable alternatives.

The role will involve working with a vibrant and growing group of researchers based primarily in the Faculty of Environment and with extensive interdisciplinary collaborations across the University, and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ). As part of the Horizons Europe project, you will work with a wide range of national and international collaborators. You will act as a key point of contact for researchers, external collaborators, and managers, supporting a wide range of activities including collating reports, coordinating high-level meetings, developing communications materials and managing data. The ideal candidate will bring experience of supporting research projects, an efficient and proactive approach, and the ability to work across organisational boundaries. An interest in climate, environmental and sustainability science would also be an advantage.

ThIs role will sit in our wider Energy, Climate Change and Sustainability Support Team, and work closely with academic leaders involved in sustainability research. There may also be opportunities to support other research partnerships and initiatives within the school over time.

We are looking for a proactive individual to join our team of researchers at the institute of Medical and Biological Engineering, to support our vision to improve the quality of life of an ageing population. This role will support projects funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences research Council (EPSRC) and industry related to hip replacement surgery. 

Over 10% of adults over 45 years of age are living with hip osteoarthritis, and there are nearly 100,000 total hip replacement (THR) surgeries performed in the UK each year. While the procedure is very successful, it is not suitable for all patients and some experience complications such as implant dislocation or loosening that require further ‘revision’ surgery. A range of THR designs have been developed to reduce the risks of complications in different patient cohorts, however, there remain challenges in determining the optimum device choice and implant positioning for each patient. 

This role will involve using computational finite element analysis and image processing to examine how different patient variables would affect outcomes of THR. It will bring together evidence from ongoing clinical and experimental studies, including patient image data and kinematic measurements, alongside data from experimental simulator studies and retrieval analyses.     

You will have a strong background in image analysis and finite element modelling and have a proactive approach to working in an experimental and computational environment. You will join an institute that includes different expertise and substantial experience in supporting early-stage researchers in a key phase of their career. We encourage an environment of collaboration, trust and wellbeing, which embraces diversity.

This role will be based on the university campus. We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have an established background in in situ structural biology»? Do you want to further your career in one of the UKs leading research intensive Universities?

We seek to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to the research team led by Prof. Elton Zeqiraj in the Faculty of Biological Sciences at the University of Leeds, Leeds, UK. The position is initially available for 3 years. The successful applicant will undertake in situ structural analysis using advanced cryoEM, cryoET and cutting-edge correlative microscopy methods. A major aspect of the post is setting up new pipelines for in situ structural biology and cryoET from cell systems using modern techniques to study ribosome quality control mechanisms. In addition, you will resolve the mode of action and target engagement of signalling proteins using signal particle cryoEM and sub-tomogram averaging. The position will suit someone interested in protein structure, in situ imaging / structural biology and cell signalling.

The project builds on recent work from the laboratory on quality control mechanisms [1,2] and the mode of action of signalling proteins [3], which the successful applicant will extend into a native cellular context using in situ cryoET and correlative imaging.

You should have (or be very close to completing) a PhD in in situ Structural Biology, or a related discipline. You should have a strong background in cryoEM, CryoET or related methods, and experience with setting up pipelines for cryoET data processing and/or FIB milling. Experience with in situ structural biology is essential.

The Astbury Centre for Structural & Molecular Biology at the University of Leeds has excellent facilities for in situ structural biology and is fully equipped for cryo-electron microscopy (two Titian Krios 300 kV with Falcon-4 detectors and Selectris energy filters), FIB-milling (Hydra Bio plasma-FIB) high pressure freezing equipment. Computational resources with dedicated workstations are available in the Zeqiraj laboratory and through high performance computer clusters within the University. 

Additionally, the centre has protein crystallography and protein production facilities with expertise in multi-subunit expression in insect cell, yeast and bacterial expression systems. Other facilities provide capabilities for biophysical interactions, including the latest Biacore, MST, Dianthus (Nanotemper), ITC and Mass Photometry instruments. The University provides state-of-the-art infrastructure for insect cell and mammalian cell culture, high-throughput screening, imaging, mammalian genetics, chemical biology and proteomics.

Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have an established background in Neuroscience? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research-intensive Universities?

Learning does not just shape what we remember, it reshapes how we perceive, altering the earliest stages of sensory processing. We are recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Fellow for a BBSRC-funded project investigating how the olfactory bulb, the first processing stage of the olfactory system, adjusts how it encodes odours in response to behavioural context. You will use in vivo two-photon calcium imaging in mice, alongside behavioural assays and computational modelling, to track how learning-driven changes emerge in these early circuits and how this shapes perception.

You will join a collaborative lab within a thriving neuroscience community at Leeds, home to over 44 research labs across multiple faculties, with access to cutting-edge imaging facilities.

The University of Leeds and the Faculty of Biological Sciences are committed to providing equal opportunities for all and offer a range of family friendly policies. The University is a charter member of Athena SWAN (the national body that promotes gender equality in higher education), and the Faculty of Biological Sciences was awarded a Silver award in 2020.  We are proud to be an inclusive Faculty that values all staff, and are happy to consider job share applications and requests for flexible working arrangements from our employees.
