Salary: The salary shall be determined by the Researcher, the University and the KTP partner. The amount shall be appropriate to the experience and qualifications of the appointed Researcher, up to £45,000 per annum.

This post is full time and funded fixed term for 24 months

A unique and exciting opportunity has arisen for a KTP Research Associate with expertise in mathematical modelling and fluid mechanics to lead an innovative Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) between the University of Glasgow (School of Mathematics and Statistics) and Quanta Dialysis Technologies Limited (https://quantadt.com/us/), tackling the challenges associated with traditional dialysis treatment. This position is co-funded by Innovate UK and Quanta.

Kidney disease is one of the leading causes of mortality across the globe, with millions of patients dying each year without access to affordable treatment. Except for transplantation, dialysis treatment remains the only option for patients with kidney disease to keep living, with toxins and excess fluid from the patient’s blood filtered through an artificial kidney known as a dialyser.

The KTP Research Associate will leverage Quanta's unique capability for fluid pulsation – a first in the dialysis industry – to pioneer the development and optimisation of a suite of mathematical models for novel flow modalities within dialysers for enhanced, sustainable and cost-effective treatment of acute and chronic kidney disease. The associate will lead the collaboration between the experimental and software teams at Quanta Dialysis Technologies and the academic supervisors (Dr Katarzyna Kowal and Dr Matthew Durey) at the University of Glasgow.

The KTP Research Associate will be employed by the University of Glasgow and predominantly based at Quanta’s site in Warwick.

The position offers you the opportunity to:

Lead your own project, delivering positive change
Bridge the interface between academia and industry to deliver impact and shape your career
Apply your academic knowledge to tackle a real-life challenge
Implement strategic development within an innovative company and shape the future of academic research in dialysis technologies
Spend £2,000 per year on personal training (e.g. skills development, conference attendance, membership of professional bodies, etc.)

The post offers bespoke training (residential and online training), mentoring and supervision.

For informal enquiries or further information about the project, please contact Dr Katarzyna Kowal (Katarzyna.Kowal@glasgow.ac.uk) and Dr Matthew Durey (Matthew.Durey@glasgow.ac.uk).
