We invite applications for an exciting opportunity in the Centre for Photonics at the University of Bath. The role is a Postdoctoral 69É«ÇéƬ Associate position available for up to 12 months to develop advanced optical fibre technologies for ultraviolet (UV-C) quantum key distribution (QKD) in satellite communication networks. This well-resourced and collaborative project is led by the University of Bristol, with partners at the Universities of Strathclyde and York and Fraunhofer UK, and aims to extend the security benefits of quantum communication to a truly global scale.

Working closely with our collaborators, you will contribute to the development of a hollow-core optical fibre designed to operate in the UV-C spectral region (100–280 nm). The fibre will act as a mode-filtering solution that ensures secure quantum key distribution without disturbing the polarisation encoding—addressing one of the most challenging aspects of satellite-based quantum communication systems.

You will design, fabricate, and characterise hollow-core fibres that are single-moded at UV-C wavelengths and exhibit temperature- and stress-independent polarisation behaviour. Your work will draw on the University of Bath’s research-grade optical fibre fabrication cleanroom and state-of-the-art photonics laboratories. The project offers an opportunity to expand your expertise in fibre fabrication, UV photonics, and quantum technologies, and to contribute to the development of a pathfinder platform for future global quantum networks.

About you

You will hold (or be close to completing) a doctorate in experimental photonics, quantum optics, or a related discipline.

Posess strong experimental skills and a solid understanding of optical waveguides and light–matter interactions are required.

Experience with optical fibre fabrication, hollow-core fibre, or ultraviolet photonics will be advantageous but is not essential.

A lower grade offer may be made (Grade 6) with comparable reduction in responsibilities and amendment in job title to 69É«ÇéƬ Assistant, if a suitable applicant cannot be found to fill the Grade 7 position. Applicants will need to be within six months of their course completion date and will be promoted to 69É«ÇéƬ Associate once their PhD has been awarded.

Further information

As a member of 69É«ÇéƬ Staff at the University of Bath, you will be encouraged to take up a minimum of 10 days professional development pro rata per year

For informal discussions relating to this vacancy please contact Dr Kristina Rusimova, krr22@bath.ac.uk

We are seeking a full-time time highly motivated post-doctoral research associate to join Prof Edan Foley’s group in the Department of Life Sciences at the University of Bath.

Prof Edan Foley’s group is currently focusing on the effects of commensal and pathogenic bacteria on intestinal homeostasis in the zebrafish model. The group is particularly interested in understanding how BEST4 cells shape host responses to pro-inflammatory challenges. BEST4 cells are a recently identified intestinal epithelial cell type with putative roles in the regulation of intestinal pH and mucus hydration. However, we have minimal understanding of the relationships between BEST4 cells and inflammatory challenges in a live animal model.

This job purpose can be summarised as follows:

• Working with larval and adult zebrafish characterize the impacts of pro-inflammatory challenges on BEST4 cell function in the gut.
• Determine the consequences of BEST4 cell ablation for host responses to intestinal inflammation.
• Using genetic and genomic methodologies, characterize the transcriptional states of BEST4 cells as the intestine experiences and recovers from an inflammatory challenge.

About you

Our ideal candidate will have:

• A PhD or equivalent in a relevant subject
• Experience working with animal models of intestinal development and homeostasis.
• Experience working with intestinal responses to injurious challenges, particularly in the context of genetic manipulation of the host.
• Bioinformatic expertise in the characterization of intestinal cell types that express fluorescent markers of interest.
• Publications in a relevant field.

Further information

About the role

The MHRG is funded for an initial 5 years by the NIHR (National Institute for Health 69É«ÇéƬ). 

The focus of our work is applied research aimed at improving the health and wellbeing of children and young people in the local region.

This post will support the substance use and addiction work package of the MHRG, led by Prof Tom Freeman. 

Key areas of focus include identifying substance use needs within the local region through quantitative surveys, identifying the extent to which current services meet these needs, and mapping the gap between need and provision to inform further service development. 

Through this mapping work, as well as partnership with key stakeholders and people with lived and living experience, this post will pilot new interventions to address emerging areas of substance need, as well as supporting funding applications to support larger scale evaluations.

We are looking to recruit a candidate with demonstrated excellence in quantitative methods, and experience in addiction and/or mental health research.   

We have a clear commitment to skills training and career development for all research staff in the MHRG. You will work under the supervision of world-leading clinicians and academics. 

The Bath MHRG is partnering with the Universities of Bristol and Exeter (as part of the GW4 network) to deliver this project and there will be opportunities to work with researchers at partner institutions. 

You will have opportunities to receive further research training (e.g., in PPIE and/or good clinical practice). 

We are strongly committed to supporting candidates to develop personal fellowship applications hosted at the University of Bath.

We welcome applications from candidates with lived or living experience (either personal or within your family) of the areas covered within our research remit, including common mental health difficulties, substance use or neurodiversity. We will strive to make this an inclusive recruitment process. We plan to have online interviews.   

About the department

Our Department of Psychology is world-renowned for its excellence in research and teaching, regularly appearing in the top 5 in national league tables (e.g., The Complete University Guide). 

69É«ÇéƬ in the department occurs across more than six sub-disciplines in psychology, including clinical, cognitive, developmental, environmental, forensic, health, and social psychology. 

The department has a rapidly expanding Early Career 69É«ÇéƬer community, who offer peer support alongside a broader university programme of professional development activities for research staff.

The department is based in a new purpose-built £30 million building, containing 10,000 square feet of state-of-the-art labs for interviews, social group observation, EEG/ERP testing, virtual reality, psychobiology, eye-tracking, pain, cross-modal, and computerised testing. 

Additional information

This is a full-time (1.0 FTE) post, which is available for an initial period of 3 years. 

We would also consider applications from people seeking part-time roles although the minimum time commitment would be 4 days a week (0.8 FTE). 

Due to the project’s requirements, regular in-person attendance at the University of Bath is required.

You will also be expected to travel to undertake research or stakeholder engagement activities in the local area (Bath and North-East Somerset, Swindon, and Wiltshire).  

If you have any questions, please contact Prof Tom Freeman (t.p.freeman@bath.ac.uk), or Dr Pamela Jacobsen, pcj25@bath.ac.uk), the Director of the MHRG. Campus visits can be organised with sufficient notice.
