RNA polymerase II is the enzyme that transcribes genes into mRNA, enabling subsequent protein synthesis. Its transcriptional activity is continuously challenged by the occurrence of DNA damage, resulting from exposure of DNA to cellular metabolites and environmental agents. Bulky and helix-distorting DNA damage physically blocks the forward movement of transcribing RNA polymerase II. Such DNA damage-induced transcription stress can lead to severe cellular dysfunction, death and senescence, and is believed to be a major contributor to aging-related diseases, such as neurodegeneration, and neurotoxic side effects of chemotherapy. You will perform biophysical experiments to unravel the molecular mechanisms behind these aging-related phenotypes. A willingness to learn and employ biochemical approaches and interact with external collaborators in molecular biology and biochemistry at the University of Oxford and in the Netherlands is essential.

This full-time post is initially fixed term until 30 September 2027, with the possibility of an extension, subject to funding. The postholder will work under the supervision of Professor Johannes Weickenmeier.  </div><br> <div>     </div><br> <div>You will be part of an interdisciplinary team of pioneering researchers, with the primary aim to understand the impact of age, trauma, and neurodegenerative diseases on the brain’s unique form and function. We pose that brain shape changes result from continuously evolving microstructure that may be affected by age, injury, and neurodegeneration. We seek to uncover fundamental mechanisms of healthy and accelerated brain aging by coupling mechanics and neurobiology to create multiphysics-informed predictive models of brain health. Specifically, our approach combines finite element modelling and medical image analysis. Our finite element brain models are based on tissue segmentation and our numerical simulations are validated against existing imaging data. The group’s long-term vision is to impact clinical practice by identifying characteristic manifestations of age, trauma, and disease on the brain’s form and function.</div><br> <div> </div><br> <div>You will be expected to dedicate your time to the field of Brain Health Across the Lifecycle. Examples of areas of research are: i) identify physiological manifestations and physics-based biomarkers that allow to differentiate between healthy and accelerated brain aging; ii) create multiphysical constitutive models of cortical tissues degeneration during aging and injury; iii) utilize longitudinal medical image data to infer brain aging and injury mechanisms; and iv) study the potential relationship between exposure to head impacts and the development of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and related dementias later in life. </div><br> <div> </div><br> <div>You will hold a relevant PhD/DPhil with post-qualification experience in the field of mechanical or biomedical engineering, applied mathematics, or another field relevant to the proposed area of research.

<div> <p></p><div>Current conceptual frameworks for antigenically diverse pathogens either ignore or dismiss the existence of protective epitopes of limited variability, with most efforts to make “universal” vaccines being focused on artificially trying to establish potent responses to conserved epitopes.  This is based on the dogma that all epitopes under strong immune selection are inevitably highly variable. Our research group has shown, by contrast, that the dynamics of antigenically diverse pathogens is driven by naturally acquired immunity against epitopes of limited variability (ELV), thereby opening up the possibility of making “universal” vaccines by targeting these epitopes.</div><br> <div>We have validated this methodology for the influenza virus (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-06228-8) and the technology has been patented and licensed.  We are currently seeking to apply such a pipeline to other important antigenically diverse pathogens thereby identifying vaccine candidates of limited variability but high potency to protect against the associated infectious diseases and potential pandemic threats. The focus of this project is to explore the possibility of using this methodology to develop a pan-corona virus vaccine in readiness for future coronavirus pandemics.  You will be expected to to carry out experimental work, including studies animal studies, to explore the potential of candidates identified in-silico to serve as components of such a vaccine, as well as to assist eventually with the design of the vaccine itself and liaise with appropriate partners to conduct clinical trials.    </div><br> <div>The University of Oxford is committed to equality and valuing diversity.

<div> <p></p><div>Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate with expertise in advanced spectroscopic techniques applied to next-generation semiconductors for light-harvesting applications.</div><br> <div>The position is available for a fixed term of 36 months from time of appointment.</div><br> <div> </div><br> <div>This project is associated with a new EPSRC/UKRI-funded project <strong>entitled “Mastering charge-lattice interactions in novel semiconductors for renewable energy generation”</strong>. This collaborative project will tackle the complex array of exciting fundamental science arising in “soft” inorganic and hybrid semiconductors, seeking to develop new understanding to bridge the gap between existing models for well-established hard and soft semiconductors. The resulting discoveries will provide a blueprint for light-harvesting materials, guiding and accelerating the development of next-generation inorganic and hybrid crystalline semiconductors for the net-zero carbon transition. Materials explored will expand from an initial selection of semiconducting metal halides, chalcohalides and metal chalcogenides. The unusual properties displayed by many of these materials, including structural flexibility, strongly anharmonic lattice potentials, ionic migration, nanoscale assembly, or complex charge-screening processes are still poorly understood despite their critical impact on electronic properties and device performance. The project will provide a paradigm shift in our fundamental understanding of the charge-lattice interactions that govern such effects.</div><br> <div> </div><br> <div>This PDRA role will utilize several state-of-the-art spectroscopic techniques, such as transient photoluminescence, absorption & photoconductivity experiments and structural probes, to reveal new understanding of light harvesting materials with intermediate lattice softness.

Against this background, the goal of this project is to reframe the field of multi-agent systems in the context of contemporary LLMs. If we are successful, then we will have constructed a new “Standard Model” for multi-agent systems: one which embraces LLMs, and leverages them to their maximum advantage. More specifically, we will develop both a methodology for deploying LLMs in individual agents (an “LLM-based agent architecture”) and a methodology for building LLM-based multi-agent systems for a range of typical interaction scenarios (negotiation, evaluation, etc). Our work is expected to embrace emerging standards for LLM agents (notably MCP, A2A).</div><br> <div> </div><br> <div>Candidates will be expected to have a PhD (or be close to completion) in a related area and should indicate their special area(s) of interest from the four topics above in a cover letter.
