About the role

An exciting opportunity is available for a research assistant to join a collaborative project investigating the molecular mechanisms of temperature sensing in ion channels, with a focus on the TRPM8 channel.

The position is part of a Human Frontier Science Program award: “Understanding the molecular basis of animal cold thermosensation”

The project aims to understand how thermosensitive ion channels detect and respond to cold temperatures across species adapted to very different thermal environments. In particular, we investigate how evolutionary changes in ion channel proteins may influence their temperature-dependent behaviour, including comparisons between extinct species such as the woolly mammoth and their closest living relatives, such as the Asian elephant.

The research uses molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of ion channels, together with analysis and interpretation of simulation data, to investigate how thermosensitive ion channels respond to temperature changes across different species.

The project is a collaboration with leading experimental researchers in structural biology, electrophysiology, and evolutionary biology.

About you

• Hold (or be close to completing) a degree in a relevant discipline such as Chemistry, Physics, Biological Sciences, Engineering, or a related field.
• Have experience with programming, preferably in Python, and an interest in developing computational skills further.

Department: Education & Research

Salary: £31,236 to £37,694

About the role

A postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) position is available on a full time basis for 12 months to contribute to the project: Development and Validation of a Multi-functional, Multi-purpose Quantitative Tool for Dermal Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling.

Background: Topical drug products applied to the skin undergo substantial metamorphosis as they are rubbed into the application site: volatile excipients like water and alcohols evaporate, and drug and excipients absorb into the skin. The resultant residual film on the skin surface has quite different composition, structure and properties compared to the starting formulation that “came out of the tube”. Predicting drug absorption during metamorphosis and from the residual phase is an unsolved challenge. This multi-institution collaborative grant funded by the US-FDA aims to expand the capabilities of an existing physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model simulating drug skin absorption and disposition to incorporate the metamorphosis of topical products following skin application. The final aim is developing tools that predict the performance of topical medicines and support bio(in)equivalence decisions.

This opportunity falls within an ongoing collaboration with the University of Reading, the Colorado School of Mines, the company Simulations Plus, and the FDA. Bath’s contribution to this research involves primarily the generation of experimental data to guide the development of this enhanced PBPK model by formulating products and the characterization of their metamorphotic events and their kinetics. Specifically, this PDRA will contribute to the project by: (a) formulating series of drug-vehicle combinations chosen for their potential to inform about metamorphotic events and provide relevant data for modelling purposes, (b) characterizing formulations by measuring drug stability and solubility in selected vehicles (initial formulations and after metamorphosis) and performing other tests (e.g., pH, viscosity, microscopy) as needed, © investigating drug and excipients (as feasible/relevant) skin permeation and disposition, (d) in collaboration with other researchers, link permeation data to metamorphosis events and formulation properties; and (d) investigating the manner in which experimental data might be exploited by a PBPK model. This challenging, fast-pace work will involve extensive formulation, IVPT and solubility tests and thus, quantitative analysis by HPLC. A successful candidate will be experienced in these techniques and will independently and pro-actively develop HPLC methods and propose alternative analytical approaches and tools which may be informative for the research aims. A background on skin formulation and percutaneous permeation is required. The successful candidate will have demonstrated capacity for carrying independent research including provision of technical reports, scientific outputs and efficient data presenting and sharing with the extended grant team and funders.

As a member of Research Stall at the University of Bath, you will be encouraged to take up a minimum of 1- days professional development pro rata per year.

About you:

1. Contribute to the choice of formulations which will be used to elucidate the metamorphosis process, and identify relevant, quality and other drug and formulation characteristics that can inform about the metamorphosis process and its impact on drug absorption.
2. Conduct IVPT experiments to characterise the drug and excipients (as feasible and relevant) in vitro permeation across the skin and their disposition in skin layers. This experiments may involve the starting product, the residual phase and intermediate transition phase (as relevant/feasible).
3. Conduct preformulation work such as solubility and stability studies and other tests (e.g., viscometry, pH) identified as relevant.
4. Develop and validate HPLC methods (or appropriate alternative analytical approaches) for the quantitative measurement of drugs and excipients.
5. Conduct data processing, analysis, and interpretation in collaboration with research partners and ensure prompt interactions within the team to advance the project.
6. Participate in monthly meetings with stakeholders (regulators, industry, research networks, as relevant). The PDRA will play a key role in these meetings presenting latest results and acquiring background information required for data interpretation and the planning of future steps.
7. Contribute to scientific outcomes (conference presentations, scientific articles) of the grant.
8. Together with other researchers, ensure that University of Bath policies, including but not limited to health and safety, research integrity guidelines and SOPs are observed.

The appointee to the position should understand, and have first-hand experience of the techniques used; (a) for characterizing the in vitro skin permeation and disposition of chemicals, (b) for determining solubility and stability of drugs in formulations and © for the quantitative analysis of drugs in biological media including HPLC. A good understanding of the pharmaceutical sciences underpinning drug delivery across biological barriers and the formulation and testing of topical drug products will be advantageous.

Enquiries including a full CV, list of publications/presentation to Prof. Begoña Delgado-Charro ( ) University of Bath, Department of Life Sciences, Claverton Down, Bath, BA2 7AY, U.K. Please note, applications must be submitted through the job portal.

About the role

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced and motivated Research Assistant, with an interest in creating international impact in collaborative cortisol biosensing and contributing to the success of an UK-Turkey corSENSE partnership funded by The British Council.

CorSENSE aims at tackling a clear expertise gap and global healthcare need in cortisol biosensing technologies whilst addressing a development need at a partner country, Turkey, by empowering world-class research capabilities and gender-balanced expertise development in cortisol biosensing research and connecting local and international research communities to key stakeholders.

Cortisol is the primary glucocorticoid released by the body in response to environmental stressors. When cortisol production is dysregulated (in a chronic, elevated state), individuals are susceptible to metabolic disorders, neuropathology’s, repeated infections and more. By quantifying cortisol levels in the body, relevant stress management techniques and/or medication can be prescribed to restore normal secretion patterns. Similar to glucose monitoring, cortisol levels fluctuate throughout the 24hr day cycle as a result of the body’s circadian rhythm common to virtually all life forms. CorSENSE will boost transference of skills and expertise and build new interdisciplinary research capabilities required for leadership in advanced biosensing strategies (optical, electrochemical and wearables) tuned to rapid and/or continuous monitoring of cortisol. This will be realised by bringing together world-class expertise at the Centre for Bioengineering and Biomedical Technologies (CBio) at Bath in microfluidic assay development and biosensors development with experience in electrochemical and wearable sensors existing at parter Koç University.

corSENSE involves six activities; the post holder is expected to directly contribute to all of those in a way that is sustainable and equitable within the time frame of the project:

The Department of Psychology is seeking a talented and motivated Research Associate to join the UKRI -funded PRIME (Peer Review Improvement for Minimizing Bias in Evaluation) project .

PRIME is an ambitious international initiative designed to test whether Results -Blind Peer Review (RBR) —a review process where decisions are based on the introduction and methods before results are revealed—can reduce publication bias and strengthen the reliability of scientific evidence.

This project will deliver the first large -scale, real -world randomised controlled trial of RBR, working in collaboration with a range of scholarly publishers across sectors.

Bias in peer review contributes to the over-representation of positive findings in the scientific literature, undermining evidence quality and distorting policy and practice.

PRIME addresses this challenge by evaluating whether RBR shifts editorial decision-making toward methodological rigour and away from outcome favourability.

It also investigates the feasibility and acceptability of implementing RBR within journal workflows, and will generate actionable policy recommendations , guidance materials, and communication resources to support improvements in peer review.

About the role

The post holder will play a key role in coordinating aspects of the trial, assessing the methodological characteristics of submitted manuscripts, contributing to analysis and interpretation of trial outcomes, and supporting the development of resources informed by behavioural science and stakeholder consultation.

They will work closely with the Principal Investigator and with partners across the UK and internationally.

As part of the University’s commitment to research staff development, the post holder will be supported to undertake professional development, including a minimum of 10 days per year pro rata.

We welcome applications from candidates who have:

• A PhD in Psychology, Epidemiology, or another relevant discipline , with strong training in quantitative research methods and inferential statistical analysis .
• Experience evaluating empirical research, including extracting data from research articles and assessing methodological rigour or study quality (e.g., using structured checklists).
• A strong commitment to open research practices , such as transparent coding and analysis pipelines, reproducible workflows, pre-registration, or open data/materials, in line with sector-wide best practice.
• Excellent analytical skills, including the ability to work with quantitative datasets and interpret statistical evidence.
• (Desirable) Experience conducting meta -analysis or synthesising effect-size data across studies.
• Strong communication, organisation, and time-management skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with researchers, international partners, and publishing stakeholders.
• An interest in metascience , peer review, research integrity, or improving scientific processes more broadly.

Additional information

This is a fixed-term post of approximately 9–10 months as a 1FTE role.

We are open to supporting part-time working with a longer duration. A 0.6 FTE would be feasible if the individual could start immediately. 0.8 FTE or above is preferred. Please note your request for part-time working in the last supporting statement of your application.

The exact duration will depend on the appointed candidate’s start date and working pattern, and the post must finish no later than 31 August 2027.

A lower grade offer may be made (Grade 6) with comparable reduction in responsibilities and amendment in job title to Research Assistant, if a suitable applicant cannot be found to fill the Grade 7 position.
