Role Description

The Cranfield Water Science Institute welcomes applications from passionate, skilled and motivated engineering, chemistry or environmental science graduates with a PhD in the field of water or wastewater treatment processes to join our team and contribute to investigate treatment strategies for chemical circularity and sustainability in drinking water production.

About the Role

We are looking for a self-driven Research Fellow to join our dynamic team to address the challenge of chemical circularity and sustainability in drinking water treatment. The UK produces 5 trillion litres of high-quality drinking water each year. Producing this water currently relies on large volumes of chemicals and energy intensive processes, which generate significant waste, emissions, and environmental pressures. Based at Cranfield University, this research is part of Chemnovate – Circular and Low Carbon Chemical Solutions for Drinking Water. Chemnovate is a new project awarded funding by the UK water regulator OFWAT, and isled by Anglian Water in partnership with Cranfield University, Essex and Suffolk Water Limited, Northumbrian Water Limited, Scottish Water Limited, Spring Innovation Limited. The project aims to address the major challenges to achieving chemical circularity and sustainability in drinking water production.

The successful candidate for this position will investigate advanced and innovative treatment options for brine salt recovery from ion exchange processes used for nitrate removal in drinking water. This research will assess technologies such as biological denitrification, and membrane processes to remove nitrate and other contaminants from used brine and options for brine salt reuse.

The researchers will use our drinking water laboratory, analytical facilities and the National Research Facility for Water and Wastewater Treatment to deliver this innovative research.

You will join us as part of a cross-organisational team, working with Cranfield researchers, water companies and innovation facilitators to translate experimental findings into feasibility analyses, benchmarked against UK water company operational data. This is a great opportunity for any researcher passionate about water processes, environmental engineering and science to deliver impactful research for the water sector

About You

You will have a PhD(or close to completion) in a relevant engineering or science discipline such as, but not limited to, chemical engineering, environmental engineering, chemistry or environmental science related to the research topic. The successful candidates will assess the feasibility of advanced and innovative technologies for removal of nitrate and recovery of useful materials from brine waste streams.

The ideal candidate will have expertise in:

Experimental research related to water treatment processes, and ideally, biological processes such as denitrification, and/or physicochemical separation processes, including membrane processes
Relevant advanced analytical techniques such as biological quantification, PCR, ion chromatography, spectrophotometry and solid analysis
statistical data analysis
designing new experimental bench-scale set ups
working with pilot plants

You will have project management skills and demonstrable experience of timely research delivery, with excellent demonstrable communication skills and experience working with different stakeholders. You will be able to demonstrate a track record of high-quality scientific publications. The ideal candidate will have knowledge and experience of water chemistry and treatment. Equivalent industry experience would be considered.
