Research Fellow in Corrosion Science and Engineering

Are you skilled in Corrosion Science and Engineering? Do you have a passion for collaborating with industry to create effective methods for understanding corrosion inhibition mechanisms using surfactants?

This role centers on innovating technologies to enhance comprehension of corrosion processes in CO2-containing aqueous environments, along with techniques for corrosion management utilizing surfactant-based solutions. Building upon successful research at the University of Leeds, we aim to delve deeper into the performance of corrosion inhibitors in combatting general and localized corrosion of carbon steel under various challenging conditions.

The primary objective is to refine existing methodologies from previous PhD projects to gain a more profound understanding of how inhibitors influence general and localized corrosion. Special focus will be on corrosion products/mineral scale deposits and their impact on triggering/accelerating localized corrosion in the presence or absence of inhibitors.

The project will entail conducting corrosion tests, electrochemical analyses, and creating/adopting new techniques such as utilizing a rotating cylinder electrode and under deposit test cells.

What we provide in exchange

  • 26 days of annual leave coupled with approximately 16 Bank Holidays/university closure days (including festive) – totaling up to 42 days annually
  • Attractive pension plan with life coverage – the University contributes 14.5% of your salary
  • Wellness and Fitness: Exclusive staff discounts for The Edge, our modern Campus gym, featuring a pool, sauna, climbing wall, cycle circuit, and sports halls
  • Professional Growth: Access to training programs facilitated by our Organizational Development & Professional Learning unit
  • Additionally, benefits like on-site childcare, shopping offers, and commuter schemes are accessible, among other perks
