About the role

We are looking for a Postdoctoral Research Associate / Fellow to join a two-year fixed-term project in sustainable engineering, advanced materials, and biohybrid energy systems. You will help develop adaptive conductive materials and experimental platforms for solar-driven carbon utilisation. Your work will focus on designing and testing responsive material systems, fabricating and characterising functional structures or electrodes, and generating high-quality data to support publications, project reporting, and future funding activity.

You will work across materials synthesis, device fabrication, electrochemical testing, and interface characterisation. Depending on your background, your typical activities may include preparing conductive nanomaterial-based coatings or composites, supporting printed or structured prototype development, carrying out microscopy and surface characterisation, and analysing performance under changing operating conditions. You will also contribute to mentoring students, preparing papers, and building collaborations with project partners.

About the team

You will join a collaborative and interdisciplinary research environment spanning manufacturing, materials, and electrochemical systems. We welcome applicants from different disciplinary backgrounds and value inclusive working practices, openness to new methods, and a willingness to work across traditional subject boundaries.

About you

You should have:

A PhD, or be close to completion, in materials science, physics, chemistry, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related area
Experience in at least two of the following: conductive or functional materials, electrochemistry, electrode fabrication, microscopy, or biointerface/material characterisation
Experience planning experiments, analysing data, and communicating results through publications or presentations
The ability to work independently while contributing effectively to a wider interdisciplinary team
Good written and spoken communication skills

Experience with nanomaterials, printed devices, CV/EIS, or surface and structural characterisation would be an advantage.

What we offer

A friendly, diverse, and supportive working environment
A hybrid working arrangement with the blended approach of home and office working each week
Generous holiday entitlement of 27 (30) days (or pro rata) plus standard bank holidays and five university closure days including closure between Christmas and New Year.
Our reward scheme grants bonuses of numerous values for excellent work
We are committed to staff development through the provision of training, continued support, and career progression opportunities
You will have access to a range of benefits and rewards, including fitness and health facilities, staff discounts, travel schemes and many more. To find out more about what we can offer you, follow the link to our benefits website
