EngBio Postdocs
EngBio Postdocs (formerly SynBio Postdocs) is a new initiative to help connect postdocs across the university. We will be hosting regular events where you can meet and network with other postdocs from across university departments, as well as supporting postdocs to pursue their own projects and initiatives.
Postdocs are welcome from across the University and University-affiliated institutes (MRC-LMB, Babraham Institute etc.). Whilst the main aim of the group is to support postdocs, interested PhD students and other research staff are more than welcome to join our meetings.
You can sign up to join the EngBio Postdoc community and receive notifications about events and opportunities using the link here list information on Sympa. Look for Engbio Postdocs List or sign up at the form at end of page.
You can also receive notifications about upcoming meetings by signing up to the Meetup Group and Postdoc Mailing List (below)

Dr Nikolai Kazantsev ‘Rapid Response Capability to Future Disruptions: A Consortium Network Case’
Abstract: This talk aims to theorise the role of consortia capabilities to recover from future disruptions. The scope is longitudinal data collected from "Ventilator challenge UK"── a consortium formed by the UK government, which embraced the leading automotive, aerospace and healthcare manufacturers to build at least 20 years' worth of ventilators in 12 weeks. The talk challenges the existing view of uncertainty buffering from inventories, capacities and lead time perspective by adding the new measure to mitigate uncertainty ─ capability buffer, as the most sustainable response for future disruptions. The talk will be supported by the interactive dashboard developed during the study (https://exchange.iseesystems.com/public/mustermann/ventilatorchallengeuk).
Dr Nikolai Kazantsev is a postdoctoral research associate in the Elastic Manufacturing Project, Institute for Manufacturing. He received his Ph.D. from the Alliance Manchester Business School, The University of Manchester. His research interests include flexibility, collaboration and business model innovation of production systems. His papers have been published in journals such as Supply Chain Management: An International Journal, Decision Support Systems, Information and Management, among others. In 2023, Nikolai has joined an Early Career Editorial Board of Journal of Strategic Information Systems, and he serves as a Social Media Editor for the International Journal of Production and Operation Management. In his free time, which rarely exists, Nikolai plays cello in a symphony orchestra.
