**FTE**: 1.0

**Term**: Fixed to 04/01/2026

**Closing Date**: 14 November 2024

We are looking for a Research Associate to work in the Centre for Cellular Microenvironment, Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Strathclyde. This project aims to harness how cells interpret and respond to their environment for computational purposes. You will work across various cell types, using biomaterials and engineered tools to explore cellular behaviour and understanding. Collaborating with PhD students, you will engage in experimental work, simulations, and develop mathematical models to describe these cellular processes.

As a Research Associate, under the general guidance of a research leader, you will develop research objectives and proposals, play a lead role in relation to a specific project/s or part of a broader project, conduct individual and/or collaborative research, contribute to the development of new research methods, identify sources of funding, and contribute to the securing of funds for research, including drafting grant proposals and planning for future proposals. You will write up research work for publication, individually or in collaboration with colleagues, and disseminate the results via peer reviewed journal publications and presentation at conferences. You will join external networks to share information and ideas, inform the development of research objectives and to identify potential sources of funding. You will collaborate with colleagues to ensure that research advances inform departmental teaching effort and you will collaborate with colleagues on the development of knowledge exchange activities by, for example, participating in initiatives which establish research links with industry and influence public policy and the professions. You will supervise student projects, provide advice to students and contribute to teaching as required by, for example, running tutorials and supervising practical work. You will contribute in a developing capacity to Department/School, Faculty and/or University administrative and management functions and committees and engage in continuous professional development.

To be considered for the role, you must have a strong background in applied physics, mathematics, and signal processing/programming, and be educated to a minimum of PhD level in mathematical biology or possess significant relevant experience alongside a relevant degree. You should have sufficient breadth or depth of knowledge in chemotaxis and statistical mechanics, along with a developing ability to conduct independent research, disseminate results, and prepare research proposals. You will have an ability to plan and organise your own workload effectively and an ability to work within a team environment. You will have excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to listen, engage and persuade, and to present complex information in an accessible way to a range of audiences.
