Research Associate in Quantitative Social Science at UCL

This post represents an exciting opportunity to undertake high-impact research in UK’s birth cohort studies using rigorous quantitative methods. You will be part of a multi-disciplinary team and will work in two funded projects led by Dr Morag Henderson and Professor Alice Sullivan:



1) Next Steps: transitions to adulthood 2) BCS70 age 46 biomedical survey initial findings

You will be expected to produce high quality research outputs and contribute to technical reports, user guides and policy briefings.



You will conduct high quality research based on quantitative analysis of Next Steps, BCS70 and NCDS and conduct some analysis using administrative datasets linked to BCS70 and Next Steps.

You will also publish your research in high quality peer reviewed academic journals and present research findings and contribute to workshops about the content and design of Next Steps and BCS70.

This post is available from 1 October 2018 and is funded until 31 March 2020 in the first instance.



Key Requirements

Completion or near-completion of a PhD in a quantitative social science discipline, such as sociology, economics, psychology, social statistics, demography; or with a background in epidemiology or other quantitative health-related discipline is essential. Candidates with no PhD, but demonstrating a substantial record of high-quality publications that could be used in submission for a PhD by publication will also be considered. Expertise in analysing large [longitudinal] datasets, including data cleaning and deriving variables, and interpreting results is also essential.

Experience of working with the UK birth cohort studies is desirable.

PhD Position: Cavity Enhanced Nanochemistry, Netherlands


Scientific aim: :
It has been recently shown that it is possible to control the rate of chemical reactions by strong coupling of molecular transitions to the vacuum electromagnetic field. For this purpose, chemical reactions are typically confined within a closed optical cavity composed of two parallel mirrors spaced by a controlled distance. The present research project studies how strong coupling affects the rate of chemical reactions, using open cavities made of plasmonic nanoparticle arrays. The arrays will be fabricated using e-beam and nano-imprint lithography techniques available at the Nanolab@TU/e. Strong coupling between collective plasmonic modes and electronic or vibrational modes of the reactant and product molecules will be achieved by tuning the cavity resonance frequency to the desired molecular transitions. Compared to classical optical cavities, the proposed nanophotonic geometry has the promise of a much greater ease of operation, spectral modulation, and detection of the reaction products.

Responsibilities and tasks:
The proposed research is perfectly aligned to the current strategy at DIFFER, focused on fundamental research on novel materials, processes, and devices for energy conversion. The research tasks are highly interdisciplinary, ranging from nanophotonics modeling, to optical microscopy and spectroscopy, to the characterisation of catalytic reactions. In particular, you will:

Select suitable model catalytic reactions to study under the strong coupling regime.
Perform numerical modeling of the optical modes of the cavity and find optimal nanoparticle array geometries.
Assemble a flow cell microscopy setup and study catalytic rates under strong coupling regimes.
Write scientific publications and present your work at national and international conferences.
Qualifications:
We seek an outstanding candidate that is willing to work in an international and interdisciplinary team of physicists and chemists. You should have a recent Master degree in physics, chemistry, materials science or a closely related field. Prior experience in numerical modeling, nanophotonics, or optical microscopy and spectroscopy is not required, but is considered a plus. You should also have excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.

Closing date:
Friday, August 31, 2018
