The School holds a departmental-level Bronze Athena SWAN award and is committed to equality of opportunity.
About the role
The postdoctoral research assistant (PDRA) will carry out research on the fluid dynamics of liquids interacting with rigid or flexible 2D nanomaterials (e.g. graphene nanosheets) within the aim to understand i) how fluid forces affect the nanosheet rotational and deformation dynamics; ii) how the liquid can intercalate between layers in multi-layer 2D materials under flow conditions, potentially giving rise to exfoliation of 2D materials layers.
The successful candidate will have a solid background in fluid mechanics and transport phenomena, possess a proven ability to develop Molecular Dynamics and/or multiscale simulations to study the interaction of liquids with molecular surfaces (ideally under non-equilibrium conditions), and have relevant publications in this area. The candidate will hold a Ph.D. in Engineering, Physics, Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, Applied Mathematics, or related engineering or science discipline (or be close to obtain the PhD title by the start of the project).
The project is funded by the ERC project FlexNanoFlow. For further information on the ERC project, see https://bottogroup.wordpress.com.

The post is a full time (35 hours per week), permanent appointment, with an expected start date of Feb 1 2019. Starting salary will be in the range of £33,615 - £39,483 per annum, inclusive of London Allowance. Benefits include 30 days annual leave, pension scheme and interest-free season ticket loan. The post is initially for 2 years, with the possibility for extensions.

About the role
Applications are invited for a full-time Postdoctoral Research Assistant to investigate mechanical sensing in cardiomyocytes. The post will be based within the School of Engineering and Material Sciences, Queen Mary University of London.
The composition and the stiffness of the cardiac extracellular matrix (ECM) change during development or in heart disease. Cardiomyocytes (CMs) and their progenitors sense these changes, which decides over the cell fate and can trigger CM (progenitor) proliferation, differentiation, de-differentiation or death. Our preliminary data suggested a cardiomyocyte specific rigidity sensing mechanism, but molecular details are still lacking. Also differences in the mechanical sensing and signalling between cardiomyocytes of different maturity are still elusive. This BBSRC-funded project uses state of the art nanotechnology, biophysical and imaging approaches to identify the key mechanosensitive elements in cardiomyocytes - depending on substrate stiffness, extracellular matrix composition and cardiomyocyte maturity or health.
The position will be based at Dr. Iskratsch’s lab (www.iskratschlab.com) in the School of Engineering and Materials Science (https://www.sems.qmul.ac.uk).
Applicants should have a PhD in a relevant subject (e.g. mechanobiology, biophysics, cardiovascular or stem cell biology). They should have prior research experience and contributions using mechanobiology or biophysical techniques, advanced imaging approaches, and computational analysis, as well as extensive experience with cell culture (ideally using induced pluripotent stem cells). Solid knowledge of cardiovascular and especially cardiomyocyte biology are desirable.
For further details of the role and selection criteria please refer to the job specification attached.
The post is full time (35 hours per week), on a fixed term of 36 months, with an expected start date of Jan 2nd 2018. Starting salary will be in the range of £33,615 - £35,459 per annum, inclusive of London Allowance. Benefits include 30 days annual leave, pension scheme and interest-free season ticket loan.
