Senior Research Fellow, Engineering
This project has been funded by a leading company in flow control products for oil and gas mid- / down-stream operations and the Royal Academy of Engineering. The overall goal is to develop a new technology for attaining a zero-spill to the environment during tanker breakout in a typical mid- or downstream operation involving low-viscosity refined petroleum products. The project will involve design and optimisation of analytical, numerical, computational and experimental processes for achieving the zero-spill technology.
Research Fellow, Engineering
This post will be based at the School of Engineering (University of Aberdeen). The university’s high-performance computing (HPC) facilities will be used along with other computational resources to execute the project. The team of academics and industry partners of the project will work with the post holder to find solutions for the challenges of two-phase oil and gas flow in tubular systems to mitigate the risks of gas emissions and environmental pollutions.
Research Fellow, Medicine, Medical Sciences & Nutrition
We seek a Research Fellow to work on mechanisms of human chromosome stability in the laboratory of Professor Anne Donaldson & Dr Shin-ichiro Hiraga. The successful candidate will join a well-funded, dynamic research team within an interactive group of laboratories sharing an interest in chromosome biology.
Research Fellow, Medicine, Medical Sciences & Nutrition
We seek a Research Fellow to work on mechanisms of chromosome maintenance in the laboratory of Professor Anne Donaldson & Dr Shin-ichiro Hiraga. The successful candidate will join a well-funded, dynamic research team within an interactive group of laboratories sharing an interest in chromosome biology.
Research Fellow, Medicine, Medical Sciences & Nutrition
Obesity and type 2 diabetes are among the global health care challenges of the 21st century. The University of Aberdeen has a 100-year history of ground-breaking science in nutrition and health, principally led by researchers within the Rowett Institute (RI). The primary cause of obesity is the consumption of more food than the body requires, calories that are then stored as fat. An understanding of the neurobiological mechanisms regulating physical activity, energy expenditure and food intake is essential to successful prevention and treatment of obesity and associated conditions. The brain represents the master coordinator of voluntary physical activity and appetite, employing a number of interwoven neurological circuits to continually appraise and respond to changes in energy balance.
Research Assistant, Psychology
Applications are invited for a full-time Research Assistant position at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, to work with Prof Constanze Hesse on a project funded by the ESRC (project title: “The need for unpleasant touch: behavioural and physiological investigations into negative affective touch and how it can be used to shape interactions”). This project is part of a larger international project with collaborators in Germany and France and will be conducted in close association with all project partners.
Lecturer, Biological Sciences
The School of Biological Sciences is looking to appoint a Lecturer (Scholarship) in Ecology. This is a fixed term post for 8 months at 0.8 FTE, to cover a period of research leave; job share applications will also be considered.
Research Fellow, Divinity, History, Philosophy & Art History
The Research Fellow will have been awarded a doctorate in philosophy, preferably with a focus on social epistemology or virtue epistemology. The Research Fellow will have demonstrated a capacity to make a leading contribution to the AHRC-funded, Digital Knowledge research project, producing high-quality research in accordance with the project’s aims, and will have the skills and knowledge required to teach at the appropriate levels. The candidate will also demonstrate a commitment to developing impact and engage with non-academic audiences.
Research Fellow, Engineering
The post is for the project funded by RTE (Reseau De Transport D’Electricite) France. The project aims developing small-signal, state-space models for multiple HVDC-connected large offshore wind farms. The project is collaboration between research centre (University of Aberdeen, UK), Grid operator (RTE, France), and simulation software developer, (EMTP, Canada).
Lecturer in Energy Transition, Engineering
The School of Engineering at the University of Aberdeen is a research-intensive interdisciplinary academic unit engaged in fundamental and applied research and offering UG and PGT degree programmes across five Engineering disciplines: Chemical, Civil, Electrical and Electronic, Mechanical, and Petroleum.The School recognises that electrical power systems will play a pivotal role in the energy transition, driven by governmental goals towards phasing out of fossil fuels, sustainability and electrification across industries. The national use of electrical energy is projected to increase threefold, and the Scottish Government awarded 27GW of new offshore wind projects in the 2022 Scotwind round. All aspects of electrical power networks are undergoing fundamental change, supported by rapid advances in power electronics, and requiring expert support by skilled researchers and engineers.
