You will have demonstrable evidence of high-level research methods training, and, for this post specifically, advanced quantitative research skills. You will be expected to have evidence of published work of high quality, and a strong knowledge of relevant conceptual and empirical literatures relating to the digital transformation of work. Applicants with background understanding and prior research expertise of the changing nature of work and digital transformation are particularly encouraged, as are applicants with expertise in comparative study. Applicants should be willing to work on a variety of research projects and to travel, when required, for national and international meetings and dissemination and engagement activities.

Leeds University Business School is looking to recruit a Quantitative Research Fellow for the ESRC Centre for Digital Futures at Work (DIGIT). Digit is jointly directed by the Universities of Leeds and Sussex, in collaboration with the Universities of Manchester, Cambridge and Monash. Digit was established in 2020 and is now on its second phase research programme (2025-2029), supported by an ESRC Grant of £8.2 million. Digit brings together an interdisciplinary, international network that aims to advance understanding of how digital technologies are reshaping work, impacting on employers, employees, job seekers and governments. The centre’s core research programme is focused on digital ecosystems, and includes five research themes that investigate: fragmented digital governance; digital adoption; skills and reward, wellbeing; location and environment. Two further waves of Digit’s unique Employers’ Digital Practices at Work survey are planned. 

The Quantitative Research Fellow will work on the Digital Practices at Work Survey (DPAW), and other secondary and administrative data sets, in collaboration with Digit co-Director Professor Mark Stuart and Professor Danat Valizade, and other members of the research team. It is anticipated that the Fellow will focus on a number of projects related to analysis of DPAW and the linking of DPAW with other large-scale nationally representative datasets, such as Understanding Society, and comparator studies conducted in other countries. Topics for investigation will include: the changing trends in the adoption of digital technologies and AI on work-related issues, such as skills, rewards, work organisation and employee well-being; the impact of AI on jobs at a regional level; different trends in the nature of AI adoption by technology type between countries.

We are seeking a highly motivated Post-Doctoral Research Fellow to join the research group of Professor Laura Carter, UKRI Future Leaders Fellow, and contribute to the pioneering UK Research and Innovation-funded project, Closing the Loop: Emerging Contaminants in Agricultural Environments.

Sustainable agricultural practices, including the use of treated wastewater for irrigation and organic waste-derived soil amendments, are increasingly being adopted to address global challenges such as water scarcity and the need to reduce reliance on synthetic fertilisers. However, these approaches can inadvertently introduce emerging contaminants into agricultural systems. Understanding the environmental and human health implications of these contaminants is therefore critical as their use becomes more widespread.

This project will investigate the fate, uptake, and effects of emerging contaminants in agricultural systems, with a particular focus on pharmaceuticals. Through a mechanistic understanding of contaminant behaviour in agro-ecosystems, the research will provide new insights into how these substances influence soil health, crop productivity, and potential human exposure through food consumption. By integrating expertise across environmental chemistry, plant and soil sciences, and human health, the project aims to transform how environmental risks associated with emerging contaminants are assessed.

Working within a collaborative and interdisciplinary research environment at the University of Leeds, you will design and deliver a programme of innovative research examining contaminant uptake, transformation, and biological effects in agricultural systems. The outcomes will help inform sustainable agricultural practices and future environmental risk assessment frameworks.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and talented researcher with a background in Environmental Chemistry, Environmental Science, Environmental Biology, or a closely related discipline. You should hold a PhD and have experience in environmental contaminant research, alongside a strong interest in understanding and addressing the environmental risks posed by emerging contaminants.

Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have an established background in cryoEM and want to help to develop new routes to combat amyloid diseases? Do you want to further your career in one of the UKs leading research intensive Universities?

We are looking for an outstanding research fellow to join our interdisciplinary team that is investigating how proteins aggregate into amyloid fibrils, and how fibrils with different structure perturb cellular function. This BIRAX-funded role is to use cryoEM, supported with other biochemical and biophysical analyses, to understand the structure of amyloid fibrils formed in vitro and purified from patient samples and to determine the activity of different fibril types in causing neuronal dysfunction. This will help to reveal the mechanisms by which disease-relevant mutations and post-translational modifications effect changes in amyloid aggregate formation and the consequences of aggregation on cellular function. 

You will be based in the laboratories of Professors Sheena Radford and Neil Ranson, and work closely with other members of our amyloid team. The work will be carried out in collaboration with Professor Raz Jelinek (Ben Gurion University) who has recently shown an activity of amyloid fibrils in the degradation of neurotransmitters. You should have a PhD (or be close to completing one) in Structural Biology, Biochemistry, or a related discipline, and extensive experience of using cryoEM to solve questions about protein structure, assembly and biological mechanisms.

Maritime transport remains one of the most energy-efficient means for transporting goods and raw materials globally. However, it is also a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, responsible for around 2.9% of global emissions generated by human activities. As the sector moves towards decarbonisation, alternative fuels are expected to play a key role in reducing its carbon footprint. Despite this, the impact of these new fuels on the performance and reliability of existing lubricant technologies remains poorly understood.

This project aims to investigate the potential impact of alternative fuels on the friction and wear performance of marine engine lubricants. Using bespoke wear-testing rigs and advanced analytical facilities, we will investigate how fuel-lubricant interactions impact friction, wear and overall system reliability under representative engine operating conditions. 

We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements
