We are seeking to recruit an experienced post-doctoral researcher to work at the exciting interface between DNA nanotechnology and bottom-up synthetic biology. The candidate will be supported by the ERC starting grant "NANOCELL", which utilises DNA nanotechnology to construct cell-like micro-robots, or "artificial cells". They will join the NANOCELL team consisting of another post-doctoral researcher and two PhD students, and collaborate closely with the group of Dr Lorenzo Di Michele including several other PhD students and postdocs working on closely related topics. Artificial cells are fully synthetic entities, constructed de novo starting from non-living molecular components in order to replicate responses typically associated with biological cellular life, including adaptation, energy consumption, communication, motion, division etc. Artificial cells can be constructed out of anything, from biological proteins and enzymes to polymers, lipids and nanoparticles. In our group,...

PCA Engineers Limited (PCA) and Cambridge University's Whittle Laboratory have secured funding for a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) project to develop and enable the commercialisation of a novel low-cost, high-efficiency turbine for Waste Heat Recovery systems.

A position exists, for a Research Assistant/Associate in the Department of Engineering, to work on AI for Additive Manufacturing. The post holder will be located in West Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, UK. Additive manufacturing, commonly also known as 3D printing, offers virtually limitless opportunities to make devices by controlling geometry, material composition, and processing conditions at every point in an object. The wider adoption of additive manufacturing is limited, though, by challenges including manufacturing process errors, poor design for additive manufacturing, lack of trained staff, and material quality. This project will involve using AI to address these challenges, for instance by using camera and other sensor data to correct and prevent manufacturing errors in additive processes. There will also be diverse opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations. The key responsibilities and duties are research, planning and organising, and liaison and networking....
