The Critical Research on Industrial Livestock Systems (CRILS) Network connects academics with practitioners to develop a critique of the drivers and negative externalities of industrial animal agriculture. The CRILS Network Post Doctoral Research Fellow will deliver online and in-person workshops, convene Working Groups to advance methodological approaches, and strengthen local networks. The role includes overseeing all CRILS activities and communications, applying for further funding, and launching and participating in Working Groups. The position offers the opportunity to develop an independent research portfolio aligned with the CRILS agenda, working with leading experts in political economy, political ecology, human geography, critical public health or similar disciplines.

Over a Two-year Period, The Research Fellow Will

• Lead the delivery of two in-person workshops (spring 2026 and 2027)
• Facilitate collaborators to deliver online workshops annually
• Manage and participate in two Working Groups, including submission of research outputs to peer-reviewed journals and other platforms
• Conduct ongoing network research into prominent academics and practitioners engaged in CRILS
• Manage CRILS communications (written, online, in-person, and website)
• Attend relevant events, conferences and workshops to represent the CRILS Network
• Apply for grant funding to continue CRILS activities

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious and creative early career researcher to develop research expertise in political economy, political ecology, human geography, critical public health or related disciplines, as well as project management skills.

You will work under the supervision of Dr Mehroosh Tak and will be based in the Economics department at SOAS, benefitting from the wealth of economics, agrarian change and food systems expertise at SOAS.

The role combines academic research with network and events organisation. You will conduct interdisciplinary research as part of an international, multi-sectoral team, and deliver online and in-person events to a high standard while engaging a diverse network of actors in CRILS activities. Experience in writing and translating research for a wide audience is essential, as is knowledge of critical food systems literature and agricultural policy or political economy, especially of the Global South. A core focus of CRILS is sharing research in a constructive and discursive setting to ensure relevance and impact, including policy, campaigns and public engagement. The candidate should be enthusiastic, proactive, highly motivated, with excellent organisational and interpersonal skills.

Informal inquiries are encouraged. Please email Yannis Dafermos

Overview

Research Fellow in Biological Physics – We are currently seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral Research Fellow to join the University of Surrey and work in Dr Isabella Guido's research group for a 2.5-year project funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).

The project aims to investigate how physical forces and collective dynamics lead to deformation and shape changes of biological systems by using biomimetic networks of reconstituted microtubules and motor proteins. These active networks will be designed to mimic the dynamic behaviour of the cellular cytoskeleton and provide a unique model system to explore how active stresses generated by microtubules and motor proteins at the nanoscale scale up and are collectively transmitted to the mesoscale. By encapsulating the active networks in cell-like compartments, this system will enable us to investigate the mechanical principles underlying symmetry breaking and morphological changes in cells. The interdisciplinary project involves experimental work spanning active matter physics, membrane biophysics, and microfluidics.

The successful candidate will work closely with Dr. Isabella Guido and academic collaborators from Paris-Saclay University, and Kyoto University. The candidate will develop and apply experimental and imaging techniques to characterise the pattern formation and mechanical deformation of the reconstituted active networks within confined, cell-like environments.

The post is ideally suited to a candidate with a strong interest in experimental biological physics, reconstitution of life-like systems made of biopolymers, and microfluidic technologies.

• Develop and apply experimental and imaging techniques to characterise pattern formation and mechanical deformation of reconstituted active networks within confined, cell-like environments.
• Collaborate with Dr. Isabella Guido and academic partners from Paris-Saclay University and Kyoto University.
• Design and perform experiments across active matter physics, membrane biophysics, and microfluidics to address project aims.

• Strong interest in experimental biological physics, reconstitution of life-like systems made of biopolymers, and microfluidic technologies.
• Experience in experimental methods, imaging, and data analysis related to active networks or cytoskeletal systems is desirable.
• Ability to work in an interdisciplinary environment and collaborate with international partners.

In addition to salary, you will receive a generous annual leave entitlement of 25 days holiday plus 7 university closure days and 8 bank holidays, a generous pension, access to world-class leisure facilities on campus, a range of travel schemes, and supportive family friendly benefits including an excellent on-site nursery.

To apply please upload your CV and a cover letter (2 pages maximum) via the University website. You will also be asked to address some brief questions to help us assess your suitability for the position.

For more information, please contact Dr Isabella Guido ( ).

Interviews will be held 28/11/25.
