A robust supply of rare earth metals is vital for a range of applications, from nuclear energy to medicine, battery manufacturing to catalysis. Yet such metals have high production costs because they are low in abundance (requiring high volumes of ore to be mined, often in regions of political instability) and typically come with extensive purification requirements. Thus, the supply of such materials is accompanied by extreme risk. 

The TOMoRROW project (Targeted Optimisation for Intensified Metal Recovery from Wastes) explores the recovery of metals from complex mixed metal waste streams, including those that result from nuclear energy production, decommissioning and waste management activities. Some of these waste streams are unique to the UK and have resulted in considerable stockpiles of rare metals including (for example) protactinium and actinium. These are of particular interest to the nuclear medical industry as a source of radioisotopes for new techniques for treating cancer with minimal side effects and excellent outcomes. 

This project examines the recovery of rare earth metals, uses a coalescence separator to provide high separation efficiencies on mixed liquid-liquid systems. It utilises readily available non-woven fabrics and has already demonstrated efficiencies in separating complex aqueous-solvent systems which are otherwise stable over many hours and do not readily separate using other approaches. The project is in close collaboration with our industrial partners. This specific project addresses the design of the coalescing system (including remote operation) and quantification of system performance. In addition, you will work with a second Research Fellow optimising the chemical used within the process.

The University of Leeds invites applications for a 3-year postdoctoral research position working with Professor Clare Dunning to study Painlevé equations from an algebraic combinatorics perspective. Painlevé equations appear naturally in many areas of mathematics and physics including in statistical mechanics, random matrix theory, classical and quantum integrable systems, vortices, Bose Einstein condensation, quantum gravity and number theory. This project seeks to understand rational solutions of the Painlevé equations, their higher-order analogues and their generalisations by studying how the partition that encodes the building blocks of the solutions underpins the form and properties of the solutions. 

You will join the Algebra and Integrable Systems Group in the School of Mathematics at the University of Leeds, an active research community covering areas from classical and quantum integrability to algebra and representation theory. 

The School of Mathematics is committed to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, and to an environment free of any type of discrimination, where everyone can reach their full potential. We strive to support the career development of the Post-doctoral Research Fellows that we recruit, and to provide them with the flexibility and support needed in their development as the future generation of world-leading researchers.

Are you passionate about leading people and delivering an excellent customer-focused service within a diverse university community? Do you enjoy supporting and developing teams while helping to create a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment for students, staff and visitors? Are you looking for a varied leadership role where no two days are the same, and where your communication, judgement and people management skills are as important as your operational experience?

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.

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.

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.
