Grade 7 (£41,064 - £48,822 p.a. depending on experience)

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 microbiology, gut microbiome or microbial ecology and functional foods? Are you interested to explore the innovation potential of a scientific discovery to bring the research to marketplace by working with food industry stakeholders? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research-intensive universities?

We are looking for a Research and Innovation Fellow to join a project funded by the National Alternative Protein Innovation Centre (NAPIC). NAPIC is a £38m entity (including a £15m UKRI investment) to lead the UK’s alternative protein knowledge and Innovation ecosystem. NAPIC’s vision is to make alternative proteins mainstream for a sustainable planet. The centre is led by the Universities of Leeds, Sheffield, Imperial College London and the James Hutton Institute, in collaboration with over 100 national and international partners. NAPIC is a cohesive pan-UK centre poised to revolutionise the UK’s agri-food sector by harnessing our world-leading science base through a co-created alternative protein strategy across the Discovery → Innovation → Commercialisation pipeline to support the transition to a sustainable, high growth, blended protein bioeconomy. NAPIC features four integrated activity streams: research to address innovation challenges; a national alternative protein knowledge base; workforce of the future; and accessible Innovation facilities.

This particular project will use a combination of in vitro models of the human colonic microbiota, small-scale human dietary interventions, analytical chemistry and both culture-based and culture-independent measurement of the gut microbiome to assess the impact of new and alternative proteins on gut health. Specifically, this project will measure the ability of new/alternative proteins to modify the composition of the gut microbiota, influence microbial production of beneficial metabolites (e.g. short chain fatty acids, amino acids and derivatives, bile acids, small phenolic acids) and improve markers human gut health (e.g. intestinal permeability and inflammation). 

This position will generate new data on the gut health properties of new and alternative proteins and in collaboration with other NAPIC researchers, generate an multi-functional database of new and alternative protein functional properties, which using AI/ML will then be used to develop predictive relationships between the fundamental properties of the individual proteins: amino acid sequence (e.g., from the Protein Data Bank); extent of digestion, production of beneficial metabolites, modulation of the gut microbiota and regulation of human gut health markers. The overall aim is to develop a model testing system to establish the ability of new and alternative proteins to support human gut health, and enable population based transition to a low animal protein diet by delivering nutritious, health promoting alternative protein foods. 

You will join a highly dynamic, interdisciplinary team focusing on the whole theme of alternative proteins, collaborating with a wide range of academics and industrial partners, helping to run workshops and outreach activities as well as conducting your own research program. 

You will have a PhD or near completion in Microbiology, Microbial Ecology, Biochemistry, or Biological Sciences or a closely related discipline together with a strong background in gut microbiome and functional foods. You will also have a positive attitude to collaborative research and the drive to make a significant contribution to making this ground-breaking project a success.

The University of Leeds is one of the top 75 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. This role is generously funded through a grant provided by the Institut la Conference Hippocrate (AICH).

You will support and undertake research focused on quality of life of patients with IDH-mutant glioma and their family carers. IDH-mutant gliomas are primary malignant brain tumours with a relatively favourable prognosis. Clinical insights into the best treatment protocols are fast advancing with new treatment modalities becoming available. These aim to provide good disease control while limiting the odds of late treatment effects which can impact on patients’ quality of life outcomes and cognitive functioning. Most research studies to date have included heterogeneous glioma patient groups (not just those with IDH-mutant glioma) and assessed outcomes only cross-sectionally. It is therefore important that we know more on how to support people diagnosed with IDH-mutant glioma as well as their family carers, in the short- and longer term.

Together with the successful candidate we will identify clinically useful questions to answer through the PhD research. You will lead your own studies in this area, including methods development, and contribute to the work of the research group as a whole. 

During your employment you will also work towards a PhD at the University of Leeds. You'll receive support from your supervisory team, which will be tailored to your background and the focus area of your research. This is an exciting opportunity if you are a nurse, allied health professional, or psychologist, especially if you are aiming to pursue an academic career. You will be a registered healthcare professional with HCPC/NMC/AHCS registration or equivalent (please note: dentists and pharmacists are not eligible for this post).

This Clinical Research Fellow role is a paid position, available for those in NHS Band 6 roles or equivalent

PhD tuition fees are fully funded at the UK (Home) rate.  Candidates who are liable for tuition fees above the UK (Home) rate will be responsible for meeting the difference between the UK (Home) and overseas tuition fee rates, unless alternative funding is secured.  A budget for consumables and training is available.

What we offer in return

• 26 days holiday plus approx.16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) – That’s 42 days a year!

We are seeking a postdoctoral Research Fellow with extensive hands-on expertise in mass spectrometry to work on a collaborative project investigating the molecular mechanisms of TDP-43 self-assembly and mis-oligomerisation in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The project overall will combine advanced mass spectrometry, protein biochemistry, cellular models and structural biology approaches to determine how TDP-43 oligomerisation is altered in ALS and to identify new strategies for therapeutic intervention.

ALS is a devastating neurodegenerative disease characterised by dysfunction and aggregation of the RNA-binding protein TDP-43. Although TDP-43 pathology is a hallmark of most ALS cases, the molecular mechanisms that drive the transition to pathogenic structures remain poorly understood. Recent evidence suggests that abnormal TDP-43 oligomerisation may represent one of the earliest molecular events in disease pathogenesis and could provide new opportunities for therapeutic intervention.

You will bring extensive experience in structural proteomics to the role, and utilise and further develop advanced structural proteomics approaches including chemical crosslinking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) using photoactivatable crosslinkers to investigate TDP-43 interactions and oligomerisation primarily in vitro.

You will be based in the laboratory of Dr Antonio Calabrese and work closely with collaborators within the Astbury Centre at Leeds as well as collaborators in Sheffield, Essex and the Netherlands. You will have a PhD (or be close to completion) in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biophysics or a related discipline. You will have an interest in analytical techniques, and significant experience in structural mass spectrometry.

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.

Name, Louise Harris, Assistant Head of Research Regulatory Compliance

Email: l.brook@leeds.ac.uk

Closing Date: 04 Oct 2026

Section: Administrative and Clerical Support

Salary: £26,707 to £28,778 per annum

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.

Do you have expertise in advanced statistical modelling, econometrics or machine learning with a particular focus on analysing large-scale behavioural data? Are you interested in developing new methodological approaches capable of extracting behavioural insight from increasingly complex and high-dimensional datasets? Would you like to help shape the next generation of behavioural modelling methods with applications in transport, health and the environment?

Understanding human decision making increasingly relies on analysing very large datasets collected through digital technologies, administrative systems, sensors and longitudinal studies. While these datasets offer unprecedented opportunities to understand behaviour at scale, they also present significant methodological challenges. Many of the most behaviourally realistic choice models remain computationally expensive to estimate, limiting their application to modern population-scale datasets.

Working with Professor Stephane Hess and colleagues within the Choice Modelling Centre, you will contribute to methodological advances that enable state-of-the-art discrete choice models to be applied to emerging data sources across transport, health and environmental applications. In particular, you will develop new computational and methodological approaches for advanced behavioural modelling using large-scale datasets. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop new estimation approaches, contribute open-source software, publish in leading international journals and help shape future methodological research in behavioural modelling.

Security Services play an important role in supporting the University community 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Alongside maintaining a safe campus environment, we provide reassurance, guidance and practical support to students, staff and visitors across the University.

We are looking for a professional, approachable and motivated Team Leader to help supervise and support our frontline Security Officers, ensuring a consistent, high-quality and customer focused service is delivered across campus.

The successful candidate will lead by example, helping to create a positive and supportive team culture while maintaining high professional standards, effective communication and a calm, solutions-focused approach to operational challenges.

Reporting to the Duty Operations Manager, the role will involve coordinating frontline activity, supporting staff development, and overseeing responses to incidents and welfare concerns to ensure Security Services remain a visible, approachable and trusted presence across the University.

Our main university campus is located on the edge of Leeds city centre and supports a vibrant and diverse community of more than 39,000 students and 9,000 staff. While much of our activity takes place on campus, Security Services also support a range of university locations across Leeds and the surrounding area.

Security Services work across the whole university estate, supporting students, staff and visitors through visible patrols, coordinated responses, welfare support and customer service. The role requires strong interpersonal skills, sound judgement and the ability to remain calm and professional in challenging situations.

Security Services is part of the Facilities Directorate, which plays a key role in supporting the University's community and campus environment. As a Team Leader, you will help deliver a professional service that supports the University's teaching, research and wider activities.

A flexible approach is important as the role involves working a rotating shift pattern, including days, nights and weekends.

We welcome applications from all sections of the community. We would particularly welcome applications from women and other underrepresented groups within Security Services. Selection will be based solely on merit and the ability to meet the requirements of the role.

A Basic DBS check will be required for this role.

Join Our Security Team – Make a Real Impact on Campus!!

This isn’t just a security role, it’s a chance to be part of a team that helps make our university a safe, welcoming and inclusive place for everyone. Whether you're responding to incidents, supporting students and staff, or monitoring activity in our control room, every day brings something different. 

We’re looking for proactive and motivated individuals who enjoy working as part of a team and are keen to help others. As part of our Security Team, you'll play a key role in creating a reassuring presence and helping to maintain a positive, safe environment for students, staff and visitors. 

No two days are the same in this role. Your daily duties will vary depending on what’s happening across our busy campus. You might be based in our control room monitoring CCTV, out on foot patrol, or providing a reassuring and friendly presence at an event. You could also find yourself assisting with a first aid incident or helping to coordinate a response during an emergency, all while supporting the wider university community and keeping people safe. 

A key part of the role involves engaging with students to build trust and offer security advice, helping to foster a collaborative and reassuring presence across campus. 

Working closely with Estates and Facilities colleagues, you’ll be part of a supportive team delivering a professional, responsive service. If you're looking for variety, purpose, and the chance to help shape a safer campus, we’d love to hear from you. 

As the role involves driving a Security Services vehicle, a full and valid driving licence is essential. This enables our team to respond quickly across both the main campus and off-campus locations, ensuring we can support colleagues and deliver a consistent, high-quality service. 

This role follows a rotating shift pattern of 12-hour day and night shifts. Many team members value the structure and regular time off it provides. Further details can be found in the candidate brief. 

You do not require an SIA licence for this role.  

A Basic DBS check will be required for this role.
