WE have two postdoctoral vacancies open. These are for 1) to undertake life cycle analysis (not experimental work) on polymer cryoprotectants and the cold chain; 2) to work with an industrial partner to formulate new drug delivery devices. All vacancies are here.

We have several PhD vacancies to join our team in 2026. These projects are suitable for candidates form chemistry, biochemistry and cell biology backgrounds. The projects aim from new glycobiology tools for controlled delivery, polymers to bind/interface with ice crystals and polymers to recover/remediate metals. We have world-class facilites and a large multidisciplinary group of … Continue reading PhD Vacancies for 2026 start

WE have a fully funded (For UK applicants only) PhD studentship to join our team.

We have a long interest in developing new tools for cryobiology: a key challenge is looking at Nature for inspiration. In our latest work, in collaboration with Tom Whale and Kew Gardens, we explore how a range of ice nucleating macromolecules from >50 pollen species nucleate ice. This appears to suggest that the ice nucleation … Continue reading Latest work published in Biogeosciences
