School Administration Coordinator, Biological Sciences
An opportunity has arisen for a School Administration Coordinator to join the School of Biological Sciences administrative team. The successful candidate will be responsible for supporting core activities within the school including teaching administration. The postholder will be part of a team who are responsible for assisting the Senior School Administrator, School Administration Manager, Director of Education and Head of School in the effective and efficient running of these areas within the school.
Research Fellow, Biological Sciences
We are seeking a Research Fellow to join a new NERC-NSF project titled “Unravelling the formation and impact of the plastisphere in response to environmental stresses in microplastic contaminated soils”. The post explores the impacts of microplastics on soils, focusing on physical properties and associated microbial processes. Much of the research will use microfluidics systems to provide a high level of control to explore microplastic breakdown by microorganisms the subsequent impacts on flow and transport. The postholder will work closely with a Senior Research Fellow with expertise in soil physics, and support will be provided to measure microbial properties. The project is joint with Cornell University who provide expertise in soil biogeochemistry.
Aspire North Development Worker(Maternity Cover), Global Engagement, Marketing & Recruitment
ASPIRENorth delivers the Schools for Higher Education Programme (SHEP) as a part of the Scottish Further and Higher Education Funding Council (SFC) funded National Schools Programme. It works with young people in secondary schools to (a) raise awareness of post-school education opportunities and (b) raise aspirations to participate in these opportunities. The main focus of activity is on pupils in those secondary schools with the lowest rate of progression into higher education. Additionally, the programme works where appropriate with teachers, parents, carers and relevant community groups. The programme covers the whole of the North of Scotland. A vacancy has arisen for a Development Worker (maternity cover) to support the work of the ASPIRENorth Grampian office as a part of the Schools for Higher Education Programme.
Nutrition Assistant, Medicine, Medical Sciences & Nutrition
The Rowett Institute, University of Aberdeen, is world-leading in nutrition research focussing on some of the key global challenges with regards to healthy and sustainable diets, food safety, and the Scottish food supply chain. The research contributes not only to new scientific knowledge, but also to new understanding to underpin Government policies and to inform innovation for industry leading to increased economic growth. Our main source of funding is from the Scottish Government funded Strategic Research Programme (SRP) which we deliver along with five other globally renowned institutes as part of Scottish Environment, Food and Agriculture Research Institutions (SEFARI).
Development Officer (Maternity Cover), Development & Alumni Relations
The Directorate of Development & Alumni Relations (DAR) works to help secure philanthropic support for the University of Aberdeen. Established almost 40 years ago, our development programme is a mature and successful operation that raises approximately £6M annually in major gifts and legacies.
Cleaner, Estates & Facilities
The University of Aberdeen is looking to recruit enthusiastic, motivated and dependable cleaners to join our friendly team of dedicated cleaning staff who take great pride in providing high standards of service across the University estate.
Go Abroad Ambassador, External Relations
An exciting opportunity for recently returned exchange, traineeship or summer programme students who went abroad through centrally-managed Go Abroad opportunities.
Student Support Needs Assessor, People
In recent years, in terms of Higher Education, Student Support has seen rapid development. As a result, there has been a noticeable increase in institutional responsibilities and raised student expectations. Key among this is support for our disabled student population.
School Administration Assistant (Maternity Cover), Education
The School of Education is ranked 12th in the UK (Complete University Guide 2023). With an expansive outlook, and a strong reputation for innovation, the School operates at the forefront of developments in Initial Teacher Education, Professional Learning and Digital Learning. The School has four academic departments: Initial Teacher Education; Postgraduate Taught and Professional Learning, Counselling, Wellbeing, and Educational Psychology; and Early Years and Childhood Education; and our research within the School cross cuts these departments.
Research Fellow in Theoretical and Mathematical Biology, Medicine, Medical Sciences & Nutrition
A talented and creative researcher is sought to take part in a highly interdisciplinary project funded by the European Research Council (ERC). The overall aim of the project is to understand how intercellular signalling in developing embryos allows them to self-organize into complex structures. Our approach is to develop sophisticated mathematical models – informed by state-of-the-art biological knowledge and experimental data – to understand these counterintuitive reaction-diffusion mechanisms. We are particularly interested in discovering genuinely novel classes of reaction-diffusion mechanism, beyond the classic paradigms from applied mathematics and physics (e.g., Turing patterns). This will involve: (i) developing new analytical/theoretical tools for the study of reaction-diffusion systems, (ii) performing large scale, machine-learning-assisted numerical screens of putative reaction-diffusion circuits, and (iii) studying specific biological systems in close collaboration with experimentalists to guide our models.
