CUSTOM is an EU MSCA Doctoral Training Network connecting relevant academic and industrial expertise in emerging medical-device technologies across Europe and apply them to the problems of shoulder implants.
CUSTOM is an EU MSCA Doctoral Training Network connecting relevant academic and industrial expertise in emerging medical-device technologies across Europe and apply them to the problems of shoulder implants. Many of the current problems (e.g. soft-tissue failures, implant loosening, infection) derive from a top-down, one-size-fits-all approach to implants; CUSTOM plans to invert this approach, based on combining computational, patient-specific design and additive manufacturing to offer complex, custom designs and structures. The project also incorporates multi-functionality as well as blended experimental and in-silico testing to accelerate the path to certification.
This post will contribute to the creation and validation of a digital twin (with biological bone models) to assess and interrogate the issue of implant loosening and wear/abrasion for anatomical and reverse TSR systems. This includes the use of interfacial BEM or FEM friction and wear models, as well as biological bone ingrowth models, to predict primary and secondary fixation. The digital twin then allows a virtual search of the most important variables that affect loosening and migration and enables a subsequent targeted optimization of the implant shape and properties.
The post-holder will contribute to the creation of knowledge by undertaking a specified range of activities within an established research project, specifically an MRC funded Project grant EVALUATE. The CRF will lead on delivery of this cohort study, driving patient recruitment in collaboration with nursing team at the NIHR Clinical Research Facility, supervising and undertaking sample collection including bronchoscopic sampling of the lower airways and ensuring participant eCRFs are and clinical databases are updated throughout the study.

We are seeking an excellent postdoctoral researcher to join the Social Decision Neuroscience group (www.sdn-lab.org) led by Prof. Patricia Lockwood. The lab studies the cognitive, computational and neural basis of social learning and decision-making in healthy young adults, across the lifespan and in neurological and psychiatric disorders. The lab is currently funded by the Wellcome Trust and UKRI.
We are seeking a Research Fellow to support trial activities, and forward and inversion modelling for quantum technology-based gravity gradient sensors and other geophysical sensor data. The successful candidate will focus on designing, planning and conducting field and large-scale laboratory trials using both classical geophysical sensors such as the Scintrex CG6 gravimeter and Ground Penetrating Radar as well as the quantum technology gravity gradient sensor.
We seek a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our dynamic group investigating mitochondrial genetics and function using Drosophila as the model (http://themalab.co.uk). The candidate will use genetic and biochemical approaches to study mitochondrial DNA inheritance during development. You must be ambitious and able to work independently. Applicants should have, or will soon have, a PhD in genetics, biochemistry or molecular biology with a basic knowledge of mitochondrial biology. Previous experience in Drosophila work and confocal imaging would be a strong plus.
The successful candidate will be responsible for: safely shredding cells using a bespoke instrumented, stabilised shredder; recording data for LCA including mass and energy balances, energy and resource consumption and emissions; characterising cells and recyclates; separating and purifying recyclates including black mass to improve value and recyclability. The goal is to strive for direct recycling streams targeting materials suitable for relithiation and direct recycling, and effectively benchmark performance of these recycling routes to determine and evaluate processing characteristics on the material streams.

The Birmingham Particle Physics group has a vacancy for a Research Fellow to work on the ATLAS experiment at the CERN LHC, focusing primarily on aspects of the first-level trigger systems, the calorimeter trigger (L1Calo) and the new “Global” first-level trigger which will be added in the coming years. Specifically, the successful applicant will work, together with the team, on online software for control and monitoring of the trigger, with performance studies. Further information about the post may be obtained from Prof Dave Charlton
As part of this role the post holder will work within the Energy Materials Group and contribute to writing future bids; operating within area of specialism. They will analyse and interpret research findings and results; contribute to generating funding; and contribute to licensing or spin out deals with demonstrated commercial success (such as revenues, asset or company sales, IP generated) and public understanding of the discipline.

In this role, you will analyse the types of production scrap that emerge from production processes and identify effective recycling routes for each, drawing on those already developed by the ReLiB team or within the literature. You will perform LCA/TEA calculations on the scrap recycling processes developed within the ReLiB consortium, providing comparisons between alternative processes and considering the suitability of each process to end-of-life (EoL) battery materials. In the future, it is expected that scrap rates will diminish as EoL streams grow and synergies between scrap and EoL recycling must therefore be maintained, so that a smooth transition is possible. You will define future scenarios for scrap and EoL waste streams, prioritising the compatibility of scrap recycling processes for EoL streams.
We are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join the UKRI FLF-funded research project led by Dr. Nadezhda Mamontova, based in the School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Birmingham.
