Research Fellow in Smart Textiles

Found in: beBee jobs GB - 2 weeks ago


Leeds, Leeds, United Kingdom University of Leeds Full time

Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Can you perform technically challenging tasks with smart textiles, e-textiles, wearable electronics, sensors and intelligent materials to support research projects? Do you have a background in smart materials, electronics or smart textiles? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK's leading research intensive Universities?

You will join the Leeds Institute of Textiles and Colour (LITAC), a collaborative, multi-disciplinary research institute addressing global challenges in textile industries through research and innovation, as well as teaching. Development of innovative science and technology, materials, methods and processes to enable sustainable development is key to our mission.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and skilled researcher to support multiple research projects working with various sensors, electronic devices, smart textiles, e-textiles, wearable electronics, smart polymers, smart composites, as well as laboratory scale textile manufacturing equipment, on innovative research projects applying knowledge of electronics, mechatronics and smart materials to undertake research in the field of innovative and sustainable smart textile, wearable electronics and composite products. You will assist in the day-to-day planning, organisation and implementation of experiments in the laboratory to ensure the smooth running of the research facilities.

The role encompasses three main areas of support: research, teaching and lab/workshop operational management.

You will work closely with the Director of the Leeds Institute of Textiles & Colour (LITAC) and the School of Design Director of Research and Innovation as well as with various academics in LITAC and the School, playing a key role in their projects by carrying out research in the areas of smart textiles, e-textiles, smart composites, prototype, characterisation and testing of such systems (e.g. smart textile fibres, fabrics, garments and composites) to address defined and unmet needs in a diverse range of industry and consumer applications. You will engage in all aspects of research and will be also involved in the analysis and dissemination of the research findings, including the preparation of journal papers.

You will work closely with relevant Academic Lead(s) responsible for school labs to help with the management and operational running of those areas.

You will work closely with the Director of Student Education and Programme Leaders to provide guidance and instruction to students for research projects on smart textiles, e-textile, intelligent clothing, smart materials, smart composites, and their integration into smart products.

You will work closely with other textile technology researchers working in the same area to provide advice and support to staff and students, including advice on Health and Safety related matters for staff and students within the School and the general upkeep of textile and electronic equipment and School premises in relation to prototyping, manufacturing and characterisation of smart textiles, e-textile, intelligent clothing, smart materials, smart composites, and their integrated products.

You will gain invaluable experience in the field and obtain an excellent developmental opportunity as a researcher and instructor/tutor. You will benefit from being a Research Fellow in a research-intensive Russell Group University and gaining excellent training, taking part in research colloquia and networking with other researchers at the University of Leeds and beyond.
