University of Cambridge -Department of Engineering
2 Posts
(Fixed Term)
Salary: £24,049-£36,298
Reference: NM01887
Closing date: 15 November 2013
Applications are invited for two Research Assistants/Research Associates in the Department of Engineering, to work in the field of nanotechnology. The post holder will be located in West Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, UK.
In this project, we aim to develop new techniques to create highly organized assemblies of nanoparticles, including carbon nanotubes and graphene. Herein we emphasize the importance of controlling the arrangement of nanoparticles at different length scales in order to create superstructures with tuneable properties. The project will follow a methodical approach, bringing together different fields of expertise ranging from macro- and microscale manufacturing, to nanoscale material self-assembly and chemical surface modification. Key responsibilities include taking a prominent role in conducting the research, and interacting with team members; designing, executing and analysing experiments; reporting and publishing research results.
Applicants are required to have obtained (or be close to obtaining) a PhD in one of the following: material science, soft matter physics, chemistry, electrical or mechanical engineering;(or any other relevant subject). Applicants should also have: experience in laboratory work; the ability to conduct projects and analyse processes; the ability to work autonomously and effectively in a team. We are also looking for experience in relevant material characterization methods, lithography, microfluidics, self-assembly, electrodes for energy storage, water filtration. Chemical modification or synthesis of nanomaterials is an advantage but not required.
Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 24 months in the first instance.
Once an offer of employment has been accepted, the successful candidate will be required to undergo a health assessment.
Further details may be obtained from Mrs Alice Cozens (see below). The CHRIS /6 can be found by clicking the Apply link below. Please send the completed form with C.V and covering letter to Mrs Alice Cozens, Institute for Manufacturing, University of Cambridge, Alan Reece Building, 17 Charles Babbage Road, Cambridge CB3 0FS, (Tel +44 (0)1223 765598, Fax +44 (0)1223 766142, email: ac867@cam.ac.uk).
