We are seeking to recruit 2 Research Fellows in Marine Biogeochemistry to undertake research into the processes controlling biological productivity and trace element supply in the Southern Ocean. Based within the School of Ocean and Earth Science (SOES) of the University of Southampton and located at the National Oceanography Southampton (NOCS), the role will focus on the analysis of samples and observational and experimental data from the Southern Ocean within the NERC funded ‘Iron and Manganese Impacts on the Future of Southern Ocean Ecosystems (Iron-Man)’ project. Applicants should have a PhD* or equivalent in biological oceanography / marine biogeochemistry (or a related field). You would be expected to undertake sample and data analyses originating from the recent research expedition associated with the project and disseminate key aspects of the research project related to phytoplankton ecophysiology, trace element supply and biogeochemical cycling. Knowledge or experience of at sea observational and/or experimental work, or data analysis thereof, related to phytoplankton/microbial ecology/physiology and trace elements would be advantageous. Strong quantitative and communication skills, and the ability to conduct innovative research resulting in publications in international refereed journals are essential.The successful applicants will be provided with a supportive and rewarding environment for further development of their knowledge, skills and experience, including through working as part of a large interdisciplinary oceanographic team comprised of sea-going phytoplankton and zooplankton ecologists, nutrient and trace metal biogeochemists and experts in ocean modelling.

University of Nottingham – School of Chemistry PhD role 2026: Electrocatalysis of sulfur redox in the solid state Supervised by Prof Graham Newton, Prof Lee Johnson, Prof Darren Walsh Start date: October 2026 Application closing date: July 17th 2026 We are seeking to recruit a highly motivated and enthusiastic PhD student to work in our lithium-sulfur battery team at the University of Nottingham. The lithium-sulfur battery is very promising for our future energy-storage requirements, as it has the potential to exceed the specific energy of the lithium-ion battery. However, the performance of the battery is limited by several technological challenges. This project will focus on the interfacial processes occurring within lithium-sulfur cells with a particular focus on the development of new catalysts and electrocatalysts for sulfur redox reactions. We encourage applicants with a range of skill sets to apply. The candidate will work within the Nottingham Applied Materials and Interfaces Group at the University of Nottingham. Our research focuses on understanding the chemistry that underpins advanced energy systems and how this knowledge can be used to unlock a new generation of energy storage technologies for electrification of the automotive sector. The target is to enable alternative, sustainable technologies that can supersede the lithium-ion battery and the group maintains active research programmes in lithium-ion, magnesium-ion, lithium-air and lithium-sulfur batteries. Our approach spans synthetic chemistry, electrochemistry and device development, and is delivered in collaboration with a range of collaborators throughout the energy storage sector. The successful candidate will join Cohort 9 of the Faraday Institution PhD Training Programme designed to increase the knowledge, skills and aspirations of UK battery related PhD researchers, and setting up individuals for career success. The project will combine synthetic and analytical chemistry, electrochemistry, and device fabrication, equipping the applicant with key skills vital for many of the UK’s emerging industries.
