You will be part of an active research programme in the Heat and Fire Lab (   ) in the Department of Engineering at King’s College London.

We are looking to appoint a full-time (1.0 FTE) Research Associate as part of a Faraday Institution funded project on battery fire modelling, specifically focusing on thermal runaway and cell-to-cell propagation of flaming combustion. The role-holder will be part of a larger team on the SAFEBATT Project, major grant of the faraday institution, being led by UCL.  At King’s, you will be joining a department with new laboratory facilities.

The post is funded until 29th  March 2026.

The research in this project at King’s will help develop a full model that integrates a thermal electrical coupled battery model, a chemical kinetics model and a flame dynamics model  to provide a tool that can be used to predict battery fire propagation and flame properties as well as heat

The Santos Lab is a clinical translational research group formed of clinicians and scientists at various career stages. Our research focuses on food allergy – improving the diagnosis of food allergy and our understanding of the immune mechanisms of food allergy and oral tolerance to identify new targets for a definitive treatment. We are a friendly, enthusiastic, supportive and inclusive team that thrives on collaboration across disciplines. We are proud of our positive work culture and our shared commitment to making a real impact through outstanding research. We are part of the Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine of King’s College London, based in central London, with the lab near London Bridge and the clinical trials unit near Westminster.

Food allergies are increasing, affect 8% of children and 10% of adults and can be life-threatening. With no cure, patients must avoid allergens and carry emergency medication, leading to restricted social lives and anxiety. While immunotherapy can raise the reaction threshold, it does not eliminate life-style limitations and risk of reactions. Urgent action is needed to develop definitive treatments for food allergies.

Exposure to food allergens through the gastrointestinal tract is tolerogenic. Peanut consumption from the first year of life reduced peanut allergy by 81% in a randomised-controlled trial. This impressive effect was allergen-specific and sustained over time. However, the underlying immune mechanisms of oral tolerance induction to peanut are not well understood.

In this research programme, we will use unique samples from young children undergoing their first oral exposure to peanut to explore the changes in the immune response to peanut induced by oral exposure. This work will be done in close collaboration with the Neves Lab at King’s College London, where a novel co-culture of human gut organoid models will be established with patients’ immune cells. This collaborative effort will allow us to pinpoint key pathways involved in establishing oral tolerance to food allergens and explore how they can be modulated to develop curative treatments for food allergies.

The postdoctoral research associate is expected to develop the project, to maintain accurate records of performed experiments, to analyse and summarize research results, to write reports and manuscripts, to prioritize work and meet deadlines, to join in research group and departmental activities, and to contribute to their positive and inclusive research culture.

This is a full-time post (35 Hours per week), based at Guy’s Campus, and you will be offered a fixed term contract for 3 years, starting no earlier than the 1st November 2025.

Research staff at King’s are entitled to at least 10 days per year (pro-rata) for professional development. This entitlement, from the  Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers , applies to Postdocs, Research Assistants, Research and Teaching Technicians, Teaching Fellows and AEP equivalent up to and including grade 7. Visit the  Centre for Research Staff Development for more information.

King’s College London is consistently ranked among the UK’s top 10 universities by the QS World University Rankings and is home to one of the country’s leading Physics departments. 

Our department brings together internationally renowned scientists engaged in cutting-edge research across a broad spectrum of interdisciplinary fields. This work extends across the Faculty of Natural, Mathematical & Engineering Sciences and is further strengthened by flagship initiatives such as the Net Zero Research Centre.

This is a full time role (35 hours per week), offered on a fixed term contract under the supervision of Dr. Ivana Savic at the Department of Physics, King’s College London and the co-supervision of Prof. Johannes Lischner at the Department of Materials, Imperial College London.  The successful applicant will start on September 1st, 2025 or soon thereafter, and the position is fully funded up to August 31, 2028.

The purpose of this role is to carry out research on the Leverhulme Trust Research Project titled “Harnessing electron-phonon interactions in nanoplasmonic solar energy conversion”. The goal is to develop new computational methods that will enable design of metallic nanoparticles with dramatically increased efficiency of solar to chemical energy conversion by exploiting the interactions of hot carriers generated by light with lattice vibrations (phonons).

The key obstacle to exploiting phonon-assisted processes in accelerating chemical reactions on the nanoparticle surface is the lack of computational approaches that can describe these processes in realistic nanoparticles (which contain more than one million atoms). In this project, we will develop a new atomistic modelling approach based on the Kernel Polynomial method that will overcome this challenge.

The successful applicant will carry out ab initio calculations of electronic and vibrational properties and electron-phonon coupling in bulk materials, small nanoparticles and surfaces. S/he will then use these calculations to parametrize and verify the Kernel Polynomial method to calculate electron-phonon coupling in large nanoparticles, which will be developed by another postdoc working on the project based at Imperial College London. S/he will use the Kernel Polynomial method to study physical processes driven by electron-phonon interactions in large nanoparticles for applications in photocatalysis.

The successful candidate will work both independently and as a part of the team to deliver the outputs of the Leverhulme Trust Research Project. S/he will report results to team leaders and collaborators. S/he will effectively communicate research findings, usually in the form of journal publications and conference presentations. S/he will also partially supervise/assist postgraduate and/or undergraduate students.
