**Research Assistant / Research Associate in High Pressure Physics x 2 (Fixed Term)**

**Department of Physics, West Cambridge**

**Salary: £29,605- £33,966 or £36,024- £40,521**

**Closing Date: 29**th** February 2024**

The project will involve the study of correlated electron materials of interest including unconventional superconductors and unconventional insulators under high-applied pressures, low temperatures, and high magnetic fields. The role will include designing and preparing of diamond anvil pressure cells and / or cubic anvil pressure cells to perform low temperature electrical resistivity measurements on various materials under high hydrostatic pressures above 10 GPa. These high-pressure conditions will be combined with facilities offering low temperatures down to 10 mK and high magnetic fields up to 22T in the laboratories of Prof. Suchitra Sebastian at the Maxwell Centre, Department of Physics, Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge, UK, and Prof. Katsuya Shimizu at the Graduate School of Engineering Science, Osaka University, Japan.

Work will be performed across locations in Osaka and Cambridge. Measurements under the most extreme conditions will involve travel to international facilities. Analysis and interpretation of high-pressure measurements, often within collaborations, will be performed for publication in scientific research journals.

Research Associate: £36,024 - £40,521 (Grade 7). Appointment at Research Associate level is dependent on having a PhD. Those who have submitted but not yet received their PhD will initially be appointed as a Research Assistant (Grade 5, Point 38 - £32,982) moving to Research Associate (Grade 7) upon confirmation of your PhD award.

Dates: Starting date is flexible, from March 2024 or later.

Location: The post holder will be located 6-8 months per year in the group of Prof. Suchitra Sebastian, Cavendish Laboratory, Department of Physics, Cambridge. For the remaining 4-6 months per year the post holder will be located in the group of Prof. Katsuya Shimizu, School of Engineering Science, Graduate School of Engineering Science, Osaka, Japan.

The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
