The EPICare Study is a major, multi-stage, and multi-site research programme funded by the NIHR and the Mental Health Mission, aimed at developing, implementing, and evaluating a national digital registry and embedded Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) for Early Intervention in Psychosis (EIP) services across England. We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow 1 FTE, Grade 7 to join the team from Autumn 2025 to support the implementation process evaluation of the EPICare programme. This role forms part of a four-year NIHR Programme Grant for Applied Research, running across five NHS Trust demonstrator sites, with potential expansion.
You will provide technical support for research activities as required, utilising your technical skills and a wide range of techniques. You will also be expected to ensure your working area is safe and support others in following health and safety instructions. You may need to operate out of normal working hours to accommodate research activity.
We are seeking a highly motivated experimental researcher who will be responsible for continuing the development of the experimental platform, as well as benchmarking new techniques, and assisting in planning and implementing initial experiments on fibre stabilisation. The successful applicant will closely work with the Principal Investigator on both development of the experimental facility and running subsequent experiments, including developing pipelines for data analysis.
You will provide technical expertise, support and guidance within the CoLES Environmental Mass Spectrometry Facility. This includes the analytical capability for stable isotope analyses in both solid and liquid phases as well as advanced biomarker analyses including the determination of compound-specific isotopes. At present the facility uses Isoprime IRMS, with both solid and liquid autosamplers, for the analysis of δ18O, δ13C, δ2H and δ15N. Molecular biomarker and contents analysis is undertaken by GC-FID, GC-ECD, elemental analyser and GC–MS, with compound specific-isotope analysis by GC-IR-MS.
This exciting BBSRC-funded project will explore the impact of biofilm growth on the evolution of plasmid-mediated AMR and hyper-virulence in Klebsiella pneumoniae. The Research Fellow will be a member of Dr. Michelle Buckner’s lab, which sits within the School of Infection, Inflammation, and Immunology, and the Department of Microbes, Infection, and Microbiomes. This project is in collaboration with Prof. Jose Bengoechea (LSHTM), Prof. Michael Brockhurst (University of Manchester), and Dr. Jan-Ulrich Kreft (University of Birmingham).
