(03) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc summary/title:– Postdoctoral Research Associate
Heriot-Watt University is looking to appoint a Post-Doctoral Research Associate to support research on the UKRI-funded TRANSECTS (TRANSitions in Energy for Coastal communities over Time and Space) project. TRANSECTS will apply an interdisciplinary spatial-temporal lens to learn from past marine energy transitions to support and inform future decision-making. Combining natural and social sciences with arts and humanities, TRANSECTS will interrogate the shifts from non-renewable systems of production (whale oil in the 1800s through to offshore oil and gas in the later-1900s) to more sustainable marine renewable energies in the early-2000s (and the competition with transitioning oil and gas via CO2 and hydrogen storage). This post will contribute to the aims of TRANSECTS by identifying the ecological values associated with natural capital (stocks) and ecosystem services (flows) from past, present and future marine energy transitions. This research will take a place-based approach and consider how the stocks and flows identified for our three case study areas (Orkney Islands, East Coast Scotland, Humber Estuary) are interlinked with wider societal benefits and explore how they have affected coastal community resilience.
TRANSECTS is adopting such a natural capital approach to ensure that society’s dependence on natural resources for energy is considered when assessing the broader impacts of marine energy transitions. Showing the ecological values, and spatio-temporal changes, of particular habitats and species within marine energy transitions makes them visible and facilitates their inclusion within marine decision-making processes.
The successful candidate will be hosted in the Institute of Life and Earth Sciences (ILES) at the School of Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society (EGIS), within Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh. The ideal candidate will have knowledge in areas related to marine environmental impacts, assessment and management, and experience in GIS and/or applying natural capital approaches. Essential requirements are excellent communication skills, as well as the ability to work both independently and as part of a team. Work activities will vary according to the requirements of the job; however, general responsibilities are typically, but not restricted to, the following:
Strong research ethos, engaging in research activities related to the TRANSECTS project and contributing to the University’s research and outreach profile;
Establishing collaborative research links outside the university via funding councils, industry, business and public bodies (including existing TRANSECTS partners/collaborators);
Representing Heriot Watt University and the TRANSECTS project in a professional capacity, particularly through research dissemination and development e.g. conferences, meetings with project partners.

(04) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc summary/title:– Research Associate
The broad application of metal AM faces critical challenges, such as the need for improved process control to eradicate build errors and enhancing productivity to make the technology cost-effective. Issues like porosity and residual stresses in printed parts can compromise mechanical properties and dimensional accuracy. Consequently, there is a pressing need for advanced research to move beyond the current requirement of part-specific print development to ensure quality and reliability.
The successful applicant will work in collaboration with leading industrial partners and will have the chance to work in state-of-the-art experimental research facilities. The primary goal is to develop a deep understanding of the in-process mechanisms leading to build defects in metal AM. By integrating this knowledge with sophisticated modelling approaches, this project aims to revolutionize the field, enabling the direct manufacturing of safety-critical, high-quality metal parts from digital files, thereby eliminating the need for trial-and-error in build development. This research will also focus on expanding the capabilities of powder-bed AM processes for increasingly complex geometries and new material types.

About Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, United Kingdom – Official Website
Heriot-Watt University (Scottish Gaelic: Oilthigh Heriot-Watt) is a public research university based in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was established in 1821 as the School of Arts of Edinburgh, the world’s first mechanics’ institute, and subsequently granted university status by royal charter in 1966. It is the eighth oldest higher education institute in UK. The name Heriot-Watt was taken from Scottish inventor James Watt and Scottish philanthropist and goldsmith George Heriot.
Known for its focus on science and engineering, it is one of the 39 old universities in the UK comprising the second cluster of elite universities after Oxbridge.
Heriot-Watt was established as the School of Arts of Edinburgh by Scottish businessman Leonard Horner on 16 October 1821. Having been inspired by Anderson’s College in Glasgow, Horner established the School to provide practical knowledge of science and technology to Edinburgh’s working men. The institution was initially of modest size, giving lectures two nights a week in rented rooms and boasting a small library of around 500 technical works. It was also oversubscribed, with admissions soon closing despite the cost of 15 shillings for a year’s access to lectures and the library.
