Location: Cambridge Salary: 24,775 to 37,394 per annum Hours: Full Time Contract Type: Contract \/ Temporary <\/p>\n
Applications are invited for a Research Assistant\/Associate (Postdoctoral Researcher) in the Department of Engineering, to work in the field of nanotechnology. The post holder will be working in the nanomanufacturing group in Cambridge, UK - http:\/\/www.nanomanufacturing.eng.cam.ac.uk\/<\/a> <\/p>\n In this project, we aim at the development of new scalable techniques to create highly organized assemblies of carbon nanotubes and\/or graphene. This process builds on techniques such as microfluidics and requires understanding of colloidal physics, self-assembly, physical chemistry. <\/p>\n The researcher will take a prominent role in planning experiments and leading the research activities. Also, as this project is a subcomponent of a larger project, the researcher will need to interact closely with team members towards the application of these materials in energy storage and filtration. <\/p>\n We will consider candidates with various research backgrounds including material science, chemistry, engineering, and physics. We are particularly interested in candidates with a track record in one or more of the following: colloidal physics, surfactant systems, self-assembly, microfluidics, chemical modification or synthesis of nanomaterials, as well as nanomaterial characterization techniques. Applicants are required to have a PhD or be close to obtaining a PhD. <\/p>\n Salary Ranges: <\/p>\n Research Assistant: 24,775 - 28,695; Research Associate: 28,695 - 37,394 <\/p>\n Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 24 months in the first instance. <\/p>\n Once an offer of employment has been accepted, the successful candidate will be required to undergo a health assessment. <\/p>\n When submitting your application, please ensure that you upload your Curriculum Vitae (CV), a covering letter, and a publication list (please highlight what you think are your three best publications) in the Upload section of the online application. If you upload any additional documents which have not been requested, we will not be able to consider these as part of your application. Please submit your application by midnight on the closing date. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Excerpt from:<\/p>\n Research assistant \/ associate in nanotechnology (fixed term)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Location: Cambridge Salary: 24,775 to 37,394 per annum Hours: Full Time Contract Type: Contract \/ Temporary Applications are invited for a Research Assistant\/Associate (Postdoctoral Researcher) in the Department of Engineering, to work in the field of nanotechnology.
