A postdoctoral research associate is sought to develop an experimental (hardware) platform that enables efficient exploration of complex parameter spaces. The platform will integrate comprehensive data collection and logging across the electrolyser, generating a rich dataset linking device design and operating conditions to performance. Working with partners at the University of Liverpool, you will also investigate process optimisation algorithms, providing a route toward autonomous optimisation and ultimately enabling long term stable operation under variable load conditions.
This post is funded through GB Chemicals, a UKRI‑supported National Research & Innovation Centre developing scalable, sustainable technologies for defossilising chemical manufacturing. The position sits within the Centre’s Moonshot programme, focused on ambitious new approaches to sustainable chemical production.
If you are still awaiting your PhD to be awarded you will be appointed at Grade 6, spine point 30. Upon written confirmation that you have been awarded your PhD, your salary will be increased to Grade 7, spine point 31.
This post is fixed term for 6 months with potential for an extension.
