Current activities at the Centre for Surface Chemistry and Catalysis are centred around designing materials at a molecular level for catalysis, adsorption, controlled release and membrane separations. The research program should complement this work by hierarchically organising these materials at length scales beyond the single porous crystal or particle or plain film, to control dynamics and kinetics of the systems and devices via optimised transfer of mass (molecules, ions), heat, or by enhanced propagation of radiation. This will include spatial structuring of these materials at length scales from nanometres up to the millimetre scale, with the aim to enhance yields of chemical reactions, efficiencies and energetics of separations and to develop other advanced materials applications, like energy conversion and storage

100%; Research to study the interactions between host and pathogen (viral, bacterial, protozoan, worm) in farm animals requires a multidisciplinary approach to develop novel strategies in terms of diagnosis, analysis of virulence mechanisms in pathogens, possible treatment and imporvement of production. The interaction between pathogen and host implies changes and reactions at both the local (cellular) level and the organism level. These can be due to innate and acquired immunity and changes at the "-omics" level (transcriptome/proteome/lipidome, metabolome) and immune response. The candidate is expected to evaluate these responses in a broader and generalized physiological perspective at the organism level. Based on these fundamental insights, the succesful candidate will develop economically realistic strategies and collaborations with both the pharmaceutical and agricultural sector for the diagnosis and treatment of these infections
