This means raising research quality and impact, building a compelling and diverse educational offer, championing commercialisation and innovation, and ensuring the Faculty is an environment in which exceptional people do their best work. 
2. Academic Executive. Working closely with the Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Provost, you will lead strategic planning, budget setting, student number targets, and KPI delivery, with direct accountability for the Faculty's financial sustainability and operational performance. 
3. Institutional Leader. You will sit on the University Executive Board from day one, contributing to Bath's wider institutional strategy and policy. This role extends well beyond the Faculty, and we are looking for a Dean who is genuinely energised by that broader institutional responsibility. 

Key priorities will include: 

• Developing a compelling and distinctive educational offer, attracting and inspiring a diverse student community 
• Enhancing research performance, interdisciplinary collaboration, and commercialisation 
• Growing global engagement, partnerships, and transnational education activity 
• Strengthening the Faculty's culture, supporting staff, enabling high performance, and championing equality, diversity and inclusion 
• Ensuring strong financial management and maximising new income streams 
• Leading strategic planning, operational delivery, and cross-University collaboration at scale 

This appointment carries a genuine mandate to lead. The University will set the strategic direction and values, and then empower you, as Dean, to deliver, with the trust, autonomy, and institutional backing to make bold decisions and drive meaningful change at pace. 

About You 

You will:

• bring academic and/or professional qualifications and relevant experience in a discipline appropriate to the Faculty, with the personal authority and credibility to lead a top-performing engineering community. 
• have a proven record of leadership and management in a higher education environment, with the ability to motivate, develop, and performance-manage academic and professional staff. Your style will be open, inclusive, and collaborative, earning trust at all levels of the organisation. 
• be an exceptional communicator, with the confidence and interpersonal range to engage effectively with students, academic colleagues, senior leaders, and external partners, supported by strong written, negotiation, and presentation skills. 
• have a track record of leading change, managing complex resources, and making strategic decisions that deliver results, alongside a sound understanding of the national and international higher education landscape. 
• have experience of cross-disciplinary working and engagement with professional bodies would be an advantage. Above all, you will bring the leadership character and cultural conviction to build an environment in which people and performance genuinely thrive. 

Why Bath? 

We are a distinctive institution: compact, campus-based, and genuinely cohesive. It is a place where leaders can see strategy become reality, and where the relationships between academic and professional communities are substantive rather than merely formal. You will join at a moment of genuine strategic momentum, working alongside a Vice-Chancellor who is an engineer and who understands this Faculty, a Provost who is deeply invested in Faculty performance, and a senior leadership team committed to excellence. This is a role with real autonomy. You will be trusted to lead, empowered to act, and supported to succeed. 

What we can offer you 

• a very generous employer contributory pension scheme 
• generous annual leave allowance with an additional 5 discretionary days so that you can enjoy a positive work-life balance. 
• we are a family-friendly University and with an increasingly agile workforce, are open to flexible working arrangements. 
• an excellent reward package that recognises the talents of our diverse workforce 
• a wide range of personal and professional development opportunities 
• several support options available for new and existing staff to help with the cost of some immigration expenses which you may be eligible for: Relocation allowance, Visa Reimbursement, and Interest-Free Loan. 

Equal Opportunity 

We aim to be an inclusive university, where difference is celebrated, respected and encouraged. We have an excellent international reputation with staff from over 60 different nations and have made a positive commitment towards gender equality and intersectionality receiving a Silver Athena SWAN award. We truly believe that diversity of experience, perspectives, and backgrounds will lead to a better environment for our employees and students, so we encourage applications from all genders, backgrounds, and communities, particularly from under-represented groups, and value the positive impact that will have on our teams.

Salary: £75,182 to £138,905

The position is offered on a 24-month contract with the potential to extend for an additional 12-months. Blended and flexible working arrangements will be considered. The position is available to start as soon as possible. 

Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a huge burden to both global health and economy. Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) is a top 3 pathogen for AMR related deaths worldwide and classed as critical priority for which new antibiotics are urgently required (WHO).

β-Lactams, the most prescribed antibiotic class worldwide, kill bacteria by binding and inhibiting Penicillin Binding Proteins (PBPs). β-Lactam resistance can be conferred by β-lactamases (BLAs), enzymes evolutionarily related to PBPs that inactivate the antibiotics, threatening their continued clinical efficacy.

The Tooke Lab aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms governing PBP and BLA function, inhibition, and resistance evolution in K. pneumoniae. We adopt an integrated approach spanning microbiology, biochemistry, structural biology, and biomolecular simulation, with access to state-of-the-art structural methods, including time-resolved crystallography at X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs).

This role offers exceptional training at the interface of experimental and computational biology, within a supportive and collaborative research environment.

This project is highly collaborative and interdisciplinary, combining:

• Molecular biology (cloning, generating plasmid constructs for recombinant protein expression)
• Microbiology (MIC determination and checkerboard assays)
• Biochemistry (protein purification and enzyme kinetics)
• Structural biology (primarily protein crystallography (including time-resolved crystallography at XFELS) with the additional potential for some cryo-EM on suitable targets.)
• Computational chemistry (biomolecular simulation)

To 1) Identify how inhibitors optimally bind to PBP/BLA targets. And 2) Understand (and predict) resistance determinants (BLA production, BLA evolution and the further possibility for PBP modifications contributing to reductions in antibiotic susceptibility and resistance).

About you

The successful candidate should possess:

• PhD in Biochemistry, Microbiology, Chemical Biology, Chemistry or a closely related discipline
• Demonstrated expertise with recombinant protein expression, purification and crystallisation.
• Hands-on experience with X-ray crystallography from crystals through to data collection and data processing.
• Proficiency and familiarity with biomolecular simulations (Molecular dynamics or higher-level calculations) of proteins in AMBER (or another similar simulations package). 
• Active interest in AMR, antibiotic drug discovery and pathogen biology research. 

Additional expectations:

• Strong organisational, communication, and teamwork skills
• Ability to work independently and solve problems proactively
• Willingness to supervise and train junior lab members
• Some laboratory management responsibilities will be included

Further Information

As a member of Research Staff at the Â鶹´«Ã½, you will be encouraged to take up a minimum of 10 days professional development pro rata per year.

For informal queries please contact Dr Catherine Tooke at clt81@bath.ac.uk.

A lower grade offer may be made (Grade 6) with comparable reduction in responsibilities and amendment in job title to Research Assistant, if a suitable applicant cannot be found to fill the Grade 7 position. Applicants will need to be within six months of their course completion date and will be promoted to Research Associate once their PhD has been awarded.

Salary: £38,784 to £46,049

About the role

The project investigates the hidden mechanics of how Britain has repeatedly funded the seemingly unaffordable across history, and what this means for financing today’s Green Transition. 

It traces how the UK has used public finance innovation to work around fiscal constraints and mobilise private capital for public purposes, from wartime and post-war reconstruction through to contemporary net-zero investment.

Working closely with Dr Andrei Guter-Sandu in the Department of Politics, Languages & International Studies, you will play a central role in the project’s empirical work. 

Your responsibilities will include archival and documentary research in UK repositories (such as the Bank of England and The National Archives), collecting and organising qualitative and quantitative data on past and present financing arrangements, and helping to build and maintain a structured database of key institutions and instruments. 

You will also support the production and dissemination of research outputs. This will include assisting in the preparation of academic publications, policy briefs and practitioner-facing pieces, helping to develop visualisations and other accessible presentations of the project’s findings, and contributing to workshops and engagement activities. 

There will be scope to shape specific strands of the empirical work in line with your interests and experience.

Our ideal candidate

The role is an excellent opportunity for someone interested in the political economy of finance, energy and climate policy, economic history, or public policy to gain substantial research experience on a funded project and to develop a strong research profile in an area of high policy relevance. You will join a supportive research environment at the Â鶹´«Ã½ and will have access to mentoring and development opportunities through both the project and the wider University. 

We are looking for a motivated and organised Research Assistant with a strong interest in the political economy of finance, energy and climate policy, economic history, or closely related fields. 

You will have, or be close to completing, an undergraduate degree in a relevant discipline such as politics, international relations, economics, history; a Master’s degree in a related area is desirable but not essential. You should be comfortable working with qualitative materials and documentary sources (such as archival records, policy documents, and reports), and be willing to develop your skills in systematic data collection, analysis, and visualisation over the course of the project.

You will have good written and verbal communication skills, strong attention to detail, and the ability to plan and manage your own work within agreed deadlines. 

Experience with archival research, historical methods, qualitative analysis software or basic data management (for example using spreadsheets or databases) would be an advantage, as would prior interest in topics such as Green Transition finance, critical macro-finance, or British economic history. 

You should enjoy working collaboratively as part of a research team while also being able to work independently when needed. 

Above all, we are looking for someone who is curious, reliable and keen to contribute to an ambitious project on how we finance large-scale economic and social transformations.

Additional information

A hybrid working pattern can be arranged, with occasional travel to London for archival research.

We anticipate a provisional start date of April 2026.

For an informal discussion about the role please contact Dr Andrei Guter-Sandu (ags77@bath.ac.uk) or Dr Maria Garcia (mg716@bath.ac.uk).

• Implementing AI control strategies that leverage this deep physical understanding to achieve superior dexterity and adaptability.
• Designing and conducting experiments to validate the new models and findings on physical robotic hardware.
• Collaborating with external partners and other ARIA Creators to integrate hardware and software solutions.

We are looking for a highly motivated researcher with a strong background in AI, Mathematics, and Robotics. You should possess a creative approach to problem-solving and a passion for using data to decode physical reality.

• A PhD (or be close to completion) in Robotics, Control Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Strong expertise in analytical modelling of dynamic systems and physical interactions. Experience in using data analysis to identify system parameters or model physical phenomena.
• Knowledge of soft robotics, continuum robots, or flexible manipulators.
• Excellent programming skills (e.g., Python, C++, MATLAB).
• A strong publication record in reputable journals or conferences.
