Hours of work: Full-time

Tenure: Fixed term for 1 year

We are seeking to appoint two outstanding researchers to join an ambitious, multidisciplinary research programme focused on the discovery of next-generation materials for electromagnetic shielding applications.

You will join a world leading group in materials discovery and will play a central role in the computational design and prediction of novel inorganic materials.

The project is collaborative, with a major industrial partner, and aims to identify and develop new classes of materials capable of delivering step-change advances in electromagnetic shielding performance. Current focus areas include magnetic MXenes and large-unit-cell magnetic hexaferrites, although candidates with expertise in related aspects of computational materials discovery are strongly encouraged to apply.

You will work within a highly collaborative, interdisciplinary environment that brings together expertise in chemistry, physics, and computer science. Success in this role requires the ability to engage effectively with colleagues from diverse backgrounds and career stage.

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.
