4. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The Leverhulme Research Grant – ‘Making Climate History’ (MCH) – was awarded jointly to Dr Staley and Professors Schaffer (History and Philosophy of Science; HPS) and Hulme (Geography). This project uses historical, oral and material methods to analyse the relation between making climates and knowing them. Its guiding principle is that the conceptual and technical work required to create effective knowledge of changing climates is strongly connected to the material technologies and practices that produce and change physical climate regimes.

8. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The group has a broad research program and explores problems at the frontier of organic and hybrid semiconductors, 2D and quantum materials. A key tool for these studies has been the development of ultrafast transient optical microscopy (TAM), which now allows us to track the transport of photoexcitations in three-dimensions with sub-10fs temporal resolution and sub-5nm spatial precision. This has opened a new frontier for the study of the spatiotemporal dynamics of photoexcitations on time and length scales dominated by quantum effects rather semi-classical behaviour [1-6].

About Postdoctoral Position
For at least one post the principal focus will be the development of open source tools for processing, annotation and analysis of connectomics data. This will include whole-brain scale analysis of multimodal features such as connectivity, morphology or cell ultrastructure. Of particular interest here are two related problems: systematic meta annotation (especially cell types) of new connectomics datasets, and across-dataset mapping for cross-validation and bootstrapping. This work feeds into the biological question of how stereotyped/variable brain wiring is (e.g. between sexes or across species). A background in neurobiology or a strong quantitative preparation with experience in bioinformatics/computer science will be essential.
Application Deadline: 6 July 2023
18. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
Most plants, including many important crops, live in beneficial associations with microorganisms, including arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. AM fungi mine the soil substrate for minerals and deliver these to the host plant at specialized structures within root cells, while N-fixing bacteria live inside nodules and convert molecule dinitrogen into ammonia for delivery to the plant. Both associations are controlled by the environmental status of the plant and our group has recently shown some of the key regulators that control this process for AM associations. Those regulators also function in nodulation, but their role in the interaction with N-fixing bacteria appears different to that with AM fungi.
Application Deadline: 9 June 2023
