Postdoctoral Research Associate

5 months ago

Edinburgh, United Kingdom University of Edinburgh Full time

**Grade UE07: 37,099 - 44,263 per annum**

**College of Science and Engineering / School of Chemistry**

**Full-time: 35 hours per week**

**Fixed-term: for 18 months**

**Vacancies available: 2
The School of Chemistry at the University of Edinburgh is seeking to appoint two **Post-doctoral Research Associates **. These positions will be based in the Joseph Black Building on the King’s Buildings campus and will commence as soon as possible.

**The Opportunity**:
The successful appointees will become part of a multidisciplinary, multipartner fusion research programme, which aims to develop and rapidly demonstrate technology crucial to future fusion reactors in collaboration with industrial partners.

Deuterium-tritium fusion reactors offer the prospect of providing a clean civil energy supply to address the net zero energy challenge, but they will need a continuous supply of tritium in order to produce this energy continuously. Tritium is not naturally abundant but can in principle be continuously generated in the reactor by the capturing of the neutrons generated through fusion in a “breeder blanket”.

The challenge for each postholder is to utilise our extensive and leading open access pyrochemical research (PRL) and molten salts in nuclear technology (MSNTL) laboratory facilities and work with the associated and established team in a defined programme aimed at establishing underpinning physicochemical properties and developing and demonstrating processes (at laboratory scale using non-radioactive surrogates) capable of the effective and efficient breeding and extraction of tritium.

These are fixed term positions for 18 months. There is potential for extension of the programme through the securing of further strategic funding.

**As a valued member of our team you can expect**:
An exciting, positive, creative, challenging and rewarding place to work. We give you support, nurture your talent and reward success. You will benefit from a competitive reward package and a wide range of staff benefits, which includes a generous holiday entitlement, a defined benefits **pension scheme **, **staff discounts, **family friendly initiatives **, flexible working and much more. Access our **staff benefits page **for further information and use our **reward calculator **to find out the total value of pay and benefits provided.

The University of Edinburgh holds a Silver Athena SWAN award in recognition of our commitment to advance gender equality in higher education. We are members of the Race Equality Charter and we are also Stonewall Scotland Diversity Champions, actively promoting LGBT equality.

If invited for interview you will be required to evidence your right to work in the UK. Further information is available on our **right to work **webpages.

On this occasion the University will not consider applicants requiring sponsorship for this role. International workers will therefore only be able to take up this role if they can demonstrate an alternative right to work in the UK.
