The Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) is looking to appoint a Professor in Clinical Psychology. With long standing, close links with the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, our research continues to fundamentally change and shape the understanding of mental illness and neurological disorders, leading to novel therapies and approaches to health and wellbeing.  We would welcome you to be a part of that journey.

Our unique collaborations include the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre at Maudsley that provides a unique environment to translate insights from discovery science into clinical care and the new Pears Maudsley Centre (PMC) which is a £90m state-of-the-art hub for mental health research focused on children, adolescents, young adults and their families. The IoPPN has three schools, with over 1000 academic and research staff, and more than 4000 under and post-graduate students, making us the largest centre for mental health research and education in Europe. IoPPN research was recognised for our world leading research environment and 100% research impact (REF 2021).  

We seek a clinical researcher who can complement departmental and faculty activity, particularly in relation to the treatment of disorders involving anxiety, depression, psychosis and bipolar disorder. The post is based in the Psychology Department, part of the School of Mental Health and Psychological Sciences (MHaPS). The postholder will not only contribute to our research but will also be active in education, contributing through occasional lectures and providing research project supervision and personal tutorship   to our students across our degree courses, and particularly those in the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology.  The postholder will have access to PhD funding opportunities. 

Bringing an internationally recognised research programme and Principal Investigator experience relevant to mental/neurodevelopmental disorders, the appointee will demonstrate impact through their work, be collegiate, progressive, and interdisciplinary by nature.

Massey University

Finland

Aalto University is where science and art meet technology and business. We shape a sustainable future by making research breakthroughs in and across our disciplines, sparking the game changers of tomorrow and creating novel solutions to major global challenges. Our community is made up of 13 000 students, 400 professors and close to 4 500 other faculty and staff working on our dynamic campus in Espoo, Greater Helsinki, Finland. Diversity is part of who we are, and we actively work to ensure our community’s diversity and inclusiveness. This is why we warmly encourage qualified candidates from all backgrounds to join our community. 

The School of Electrical Engineering is one of the six schools of Aalto University. Our portfolio covers fields from natural sciences to engineering and information sciences. In parallel with basic research, we develop ideas and technologies further into innovations and services. We are experts in systems science; we develop integrated solutions from care of the elderly to space robotics. The School is an international unit with close to 60 professors and 2 000 full-time students, including over 200 doctoral students.

The Designer Materials and Devices Group at the Department of Electronics and Nanoengineering is looking for a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to work on Metasurfaces for Future Communications, related to a large international project "Self-Programmable Metasurface Networks for Wireless Communications and IoT".

Scientific context

6G will enable revolutionary technologies like the Internet of Everything, 3D holographic communication, robotics, Industry 4.0, and wireless brain-computer interactions. A key challenge for 6G, which will operate at sub-THz frequencies, is high signal attenuation in the atmosphere and common urban materials like concrete. To overcome this, 6G will require novel solutions such as reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (metasurfaces). These passive adjustable structures can deflect electromagnetic waves in specific directions, optimizing the wireless environment by enhancing communication without adding costly active components.

Your role and goals

As a postdoctoral researcher, you will contribute to advancing the science necessary to enable next-generation communication systems based on metasurfaces and revolutionizing communication networks and IoT. You will work on new physical mechanisms in electromagnetic wave control and design application-oriented metasurface geometries supporting human-machine interaction.
