1. Postdoctoral Fellowship

About Postdoctoral Position

Project Summary:  Your role will be to characterise the interfaces of functional materials, using amongst others the recently set up Imperial Centre for Cryo-Microscopy of Materials. This will be primarily focused on hybrid interfaces including thin films based on small molecules such as phthalocyanines and perylene derivatives, and will be extended to other systems across the programme. You will use advanced transmission electron microscopy techniques (TEM) to observe boundaries, including atomic diffusion between different materials and domain walls between different electrical or magnetic polarisations. The observations will be correlated with other surface techniques such as e.g. secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, synchrotron-based techniques and bulk characterisation techniques such as SQUID-based magnetometry and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy for a full understanding of structure-properties relationships across length scales.

4. Postdoctoral Fellowship

About Postdoctoral Position

Project Summary:  Almost all bacteria secrete toxins to antagonize competitors in their proximity and/or to promote their capacity to survive hostile environments including within eukaryotic hosts. Bacterial secretion systems export effector proteins with toxic activity, from the bacterial cytoplasm into the environment or directly into target cells. One such system is the type six secretion system (T6SS). These T6SSs are best known for mediating interbacterial killing enabling strains to outcompete rivals and likely facilitate dominance in a broad range of niches including in soil, plants and animals.

16. Postdoctoral Fellowship

About Postdoctoral Position

Project Summary:  A key challenge in quantum computing is dealing with errors that can arise from environmental noise or other sources. Error mitigation and correction strategies are essential to the development of practical quantum computing devices. In recent years, photonic quantum computing has emerged as a promising platform for quantum computing and demonstrating a genuine quantum advantage. Quantum states of light (QSoL) are robust to environmental noise and can be easily manipulated and measured using simple optical components at room temperature. Additionally, QSoL can be transmitted over long distances using optical fibres, which makes them an attractive option for quantum communication and networking.

34. Postdoctoral Fellowship

About Postdoctoral Position

Project Summary: The objective of the project the post holder will carry out is to determine the HLA-associated immunological mechanisms that drive natural protection to type 1 diabetes (T1D) in individuals with the protective DR15-DQ6 haplotype in the presence and absence of known HLA-associated risk alleles (DR4-DQ8 and DR3-DQ2 haplotypes). Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the DR15-DQ6 haplotype are associated with T1D protection. However, 1 in 50 individuals carrying these polymorphisms progress to T1D, representing failure in the genetic protection provided by DR15-DQ6. Understanding the underlying mechanisms by which DR15-DQ6 exerts its protective effects and how this is attenuated in people who carry the variant but still develop T1D would provide invaluable information for the design of therapies that mimic natural protection to T1D. In particular, we will be examining the frequency and functionality of autoantigen-specific CD4+ T cells in people with T1D that harbor risk and/or protective HLA alleles and diabetes-free relatives with similar HLA genotypes.
