PhD Studentship in Development of Pancreatic Tumour Treating Field System General Description: The University of Plymouth is offering a postgraduate research studentship focused on the development of a pancreatic tumour treating field (TTF) system. This innovative project aims to advance non invasive cancer treatment technologies by exploring the application of alternating electric fields to inhibit tumour growth, specifically targeting pancreatic cancer. The research will involve the design, development, and optimisation of a TTF system, integrating expertise from biomedical engineering, electronics, and cancer biology. The successful candidate will work within a multidisciplinary research environment, collaborating with academic researchers and potentially clinical partners to translate laboratory findings into practical therapeutic solutions. Key responsibilities include conducting experimental and computational research, developing device prototypes, performing modelling and simulation of electric field interactions with biological tissues, and evaluating system performance. The candidate will also contribute to data analysis, preparation of academic publications, and dissemination of findings through conferences and research outputs. The project provides access to advanced laboratory facilities and offers an opportunity to contribute to impactful research addressing a critical global health challenge. Eligibility Criteria: A first class or upper second class honours degree (or equivalent) in Biomedical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Physics, or a closely related discipline A master's degree in a relevant field is desirable but not essential Strong interest in medical device development, bioengineering, or cancer research Ability to undertake independent and interdisciplinary research Good written and verbal communication skills International applicants must meet the University's English language requirements Required Expertise/Skills: Knowledge of biomedical engineering principles and electronic system design Understanding of electromagnetics and interaction of electric fields with biological tissues Experience with modelling and simulation tools (desirable) Experimental and laboratory skills Data analysis and problem solving abilities Scientific writing and communication skills Ability to work collaboratively across disciplines Salary Details: Fully funded studentship covering tuition fees and providing a stipend in line with UKRI rates (exact amount not specified)

Research Fellow in Mathematics Ref: 43284 (Fixed Term) Location Brighton, UK Hours Full time considered up to a maximum of 37.5 hours per week. Requests for flexible working options will be considered (subject to business need). Grade 7 starting at £38,784 to £46,049 per annum, pro rata if part time. Contract Type Fixed Term Contract About the role The Department of Mathematics at the University of Sussex is inviting applications for a fixed term research position centred on advancing ecological modelling of tick-borne pathogens to better understand their distribution and prevalence along urbanisation and environmental gradients. In this role, you will develop metapopulation and network models to evaluate the roles of multiple mechanisms in structuring ecological metacommunities composed of ticks, their hosts and associated pathogens. Working closely with project partners, you will integrate process-based metapopulation models into network models to identify environmental and social factors that are key determinants of the risk of human infection, and suggest critical points for management actions. Your work will involve analysing and utilising complex spatial and temporal datasets collected by our partners in the US component of this collaborative project. The post is part of the four-year long project "Eco-social dynamics of tick-borne pathogens along urbanization gradients: establishment, spillover, and management", jointly fundded by NSF (USA) and UKRI (UK). The project aims to develop a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics and risk of tick-borne disease along environmental and biodiversity gradients. The role includes research collaboration with the University of Bath (UK) and a US team coordinated by researchers at Columbia University. While this post has the fixed duration of 24 months, there will be an opportunity to apply for a continuation of this position to be based at the University of Bath (UK) for an additional 24 months of the project.
