Overview
Marie Sklodowska-Curie Doctoral Candidate Researcher in Modelling Healthcare Infection Risks. Are you an early career researcher looking for your first challenge? Do you have a background in fluid dynamics and an interest in improving engineering control for healthcare acquired infections. Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research-intensive universities and work with a vibrant European consortium of researchers?
Responsibilities
* We are seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic doctoral researcher to join our team at the School of Civil Engineering, focusing on modelling the dispersion of microorganisms due to healthcare activities.
* The successful candidate will be part of the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) doctoral network. The HumanIC network will bring together leading academic teams from across Europe with hospital and healthcare HVAC industry partners to train early-stage engineers and scientists to enable a new approach to the human-centric indoor climate in Healthcare Environments.
* You will join a cohort of 11 doctoral researchers across seven European universities.
* You will play an instrumental role in developing new computational models to describe the dispersion of airborne microorganisms from healthcare activities and validating the model using chamber and/or real-world data.
* You will use the models developed to gain an understanding of the air and surface exposure risk resulting from different transient releases, and the potential mitigating measures.
* This role offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to a vital research project and make a significant impact on healthcare safety standards.
* You will also have the opportunity for secondments with industrial and academic partners across Europe.
Eligibility
* Important eligibility rules for this position: there are no restrictions on nationality, but at the time of recruitment, applicants must not already be in possession of a doctoral degree; at the time of recruitment, applicants must not have resided or carried out their main activity (i.e. work, studies, etc.) in the UK for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to their recruitment under the HumanIC project. Compulsory national service, short stays such as holidays and time spent as part of a procedure for obtaining refugee status are not taken into account.
