Research Fellow

This post is part of the TAILOR Evidence Synthesis collaboration – an NIHR HTA funded project to optimise a whole-person-centred approach to stopping medicines in older people with multimorbidity and polypharmacy.

A growing number of people live with the burden of problematic polypharmacy. TAILOR will generate the knowledge needed by clinicians and patients to help them make decisions about when and how to reduce burden by stopping medicines.

The successful candidate will undertake a formal scoping review describing a taxonomy of current approaches to stopping medicines. You will also contribute to a realist synthesis developing a theory-based framework of best practice led by our project partners in Oxford.

To discuss this role informally, please contact Professor Joanne Reeve: joanne.reeve@hyms.ac.uk 01482 463297 or Dr Liz Mitchell: liz.mitchell@hyms.ac.uk 01482 347537

Senior Research Fellow in Solar Thermal and Power Systems

The School of Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Hull is one of the largest Schools/Departments within the Faculty of Science and Engineering. The School has a long history of excellence in research and in the application of research to address real world problems. The challenges facing the world are complex and require a multidisciplinary approach. As a general engineering school, we are able to bring together a wide range of expertise, experience and facilities to solving such problems. The ‘Energy Technologies Research Group’ is one of the most dynamic teams within the University and has achieved tremendous successes over the past SIX years. We’re now trying to make engineering systems more energy efficient, greener in their effect on the environment and safe, robust and sustainable in operation.

The School is seeking for a senior researcher who will work on a Newton Fund – China-UK Research and Innovation Bridges project, which is jointly funded by EPSRC, Innovate-UK and China MOST. This aims to develop a novel building integrate-able solar PV/T system for space heating, hot water and power supply, by collaborating with a few UK and Chinese partners. The job context will include computer modelling, prototype design, construction and testing, real site demonstration, as well as economic and environmental performance analysis. Further, the organisations of the workshop, exhibition and other dissemination activities are also part of the works involved. From the internal side, the researcher will work with a research associate and a technician to complete the planned works as required. 

The researcher will be provided with the work programme and will complete various tasks as outlined in the schedule. The researcher will attend the regular meetings with the supervisors to identify and resolve problems arising, and prepare technical reports as part of the workload. The researcher will also be encouraged to publish papers in refereed journals and international conferences.  

You need to have a PhD degree in Building Services Engineering, Mechanical or Renewable Energy Engineering, with excellent experience in proposal writing and research application, project management and researcher supervision, laboratory work, as well as computer modeling skill. You are expected to have good communications skills in English. Knowledge in thermo-fluid, solar thermal and power, building energy performance, as well as mechanical engineering is also important to this post.  

This post is available immediately and offered on a 10-month fixed-term basis. Further extension is also possible.

Informal enquiries about this role may be addressed to Professor Xudong Zhao, Email:Xudong.Zhao@hull.ac.uk

Postdoctoral Research Assistant

Post-Doctoral Research Assistant in Offshore Wind Energy – Wind Turbine Blade manufacture with Embedded Sensors

The University of Hull is part of a £7.6M EPSRC Prosperity Partnership: A New Partnership in Offshore Wind (www.npow.group.shef.ac.uk). This is an exciting new collaboration between the Universities of Hull, Sheffield and Durham with Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (the world’s largest offshore wind turbine manufacturer) and Ørsted (the world’s largest offshore wind farm developer). The aim of this 5-year programme is to address fundamental research to reduce the cost of electricity from offshore wind, and lay the foundation for the next generation of wind turbines and farms at a significantly higher level of power generation. 

As part of this programme, the School of Engineering and Computer Science wishes to appoint a post-doctoral research assistant to work as part of a team on the development of embedded fibre optic sensing systems capable of monitoring the lifetime behaviour of wind turbine blades from manufacture to operation. This will allow improved control of manufacturing processes and allow better prediction of performance and maintenance requirements. The person appointed to this post will develop and evaluate methods of embedding sensors into the blades during manufacture and conduct experimental trials on alternative integration methods.

Candidates should have a PhD in Mechanical/Manufacturing Engineering or a related discipline. Experience of composite manufacturing processes would be an advantage. 

The University of Hull holds the Athena SWAN University Bronze Award in recognition of its commitment to advancing women's careers in science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine (STEMM) employment and offers a number of family-friendly employment practices that are designed to enable a good work-life balance.

How to apply:

Applications must include a:

• Short CV and
• List of journal publications and conference publications and presentations.

Applications will be assessed by the selection panel according to the criteria outlined in the person specification.

Yorkshire Cancer Research Career Development Fellowship

There are 3 posts available, all of which will be part of the ‘TRANSFORMing Cancer Outcomes in Yorkshire - funded by Yorkshire Cancer Research’ programme.

This post is fixed term for 5 years.

Cancer outcomes are poorer in Yorkshire than in England as a whole and especially poor in Hull. People with higher socioeconomic status have substantially better health than those with lower socioeconomic status; this is also true of cancer outcomes. Yorkshire Cancer Research has awarded the University of Hull a £4.9m programme of research to tackle these cancer inequalities. As a result of this investment we are seeking to recruit five applied health scientists as career development fellows to take forward applied cancer research. These prestigious fellowships will address key gaps in knowledge related to inequalities in experience of and outcomes from cancer, especially related to age and socio-economic differences in the following three areas: early diagnosis and detection, patient management, survivorship and palliative care. 

Each of these fellowships will be accompanied by an attractive package to support research and personal development and the expectation is that the postholders will use these fellowships to establish themselves as independent applied heath researchers with expertise in cancer and outcomes and /or care. 

The University of Hull has ambitious plans for research growth to become a world leader in applied health and clinical research, and to conduct outstanding research of relevance to our local area. This vision is being enabled by a £28m investment by the University in a new Health Campus development and the establishment of an Institute for Clinical and Applied Health Research (ICAHR), dovetailing with the Yorkshire Cancer Research award. The formation of the Institute is supported by a major investment in academic staff and the establishment of strong methods and support infrastructure. The Yorkshire Cancer Research Career Development Fellows will be based in this new Institute, either within the Hull York Medical School (HYMS) or the School of Health and Social Work (SHSW) depending on the best fit of the Fellow. Both are Schools within the Faculty of Health Sciences, which also includes the School of Life Sciences. It will be based within the new Allam Medical Building which opened in Summer 2017. 

To discuss this role informally, please contact Professor Una Macleod; una.macleod@hyms.ac.uk, 01482 463757, or Professor Miriam Johnson; Miriam.johnson@hyms.ac.uk, 01482 463309, or Professor Mike Lind; m.j.lind@hull.ac.uk, 01482 461318
