THIS IS A RE-ADVERTISEMENT. PREVIOUS APPLICANTS NEED NOT APPLY.
We are seeking an experimental scientist to support our activities as a partner in The Sir Henry Royce Institute (The Royce). A particular focus is in hands-on support of research in electrochemical systems (ES), for example in energy storage and for production, transportation, and usage of hydrogen and associated carriers. Royce facilitates access for industry and external university collaborators to state-of-the-art equipment and the post holder will co-ordinate and provide that access. The role provides an opportunity to be involved in collaborative science driving multiple leading-edge technologies central to the energy transition.
The post is available immediately and is fixed-term until 31 March 2027.
With a background in materials science or chemistry you will be self-motivated, able to plan and support multiple visitors and collaborators. You will have a MSc, BSc or possibly a PhD in Materials/Chemistry and experience in electrochemical systems, and operation of multi-user research facilities.
The Royce is a UK wide institute with multiple partners working in collaboration to support the UK materials community.
