Liverpool, United Kingdom University of Liverpool Full time

We are seeking to recruit an enthusiastic, highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) to work on an exciting plasma project. You will join the group of Professor James Bradley in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics at the University of Liverpool and work closely with the ASTeC group at STFC Daresbury. The position should start on 1st March 2023.

The project will focus on the development and diagnosis of new plasma systems for the production of high-quality superconducting thin films in 3-D RF cavities for particle beam accelerators. The role will involve the development of new plasma sputtering sources to deposit thin films inside of complex geometries as well as the deployment of advanced plasma diagnostic tools to understand better the how the plasma parameters affect the superconducting properties of the thin films. The diagnostic techniques will include Langmuir probes, energy-resolved mass spectrometry and optical emission spectroscopy.

You must have a PhD in Plasma Physics or a closely related field and some knowledge of either magnetron sputtering, plasma diagnostics or surface analysis will be an advantage. A willingness to travel at times between Daresbury and Liverpool to support all aspects of the project is essential.

This post is available for 24 months and will provide you with the opportunity to gain experience in advanced plasma surface engineering, the development of plasma diagnostic tools and skills in surface analysis while working with world class research leaders. You should therefore be enthusiastic in the discipline, committed, and motivated with an aptitude for independent working as well as working as part of a diverse, interdisciplinary team. To be considered for this post, you should include a **cover letter** that clearly highlights your skills, how you meet the criteria set out in the person specification below and sets out your career motivation.

Any applicants who are still awaiting their PhD to be awarded should be aware that if successful, they will be appointed at grade 6, spine point 30. Upon written confirmation that they have been successful in being awarded their PhD, they will be moved onto grade 7, spine point 31 from the date of their award.
