Leeds, United Kingdom University of Leeds Full time

**Research Fellow in Experimental Crystallization**:
**Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have an established background in crystallization? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research-intensive universities?**

We are looking for an outstanding Research Fellow to join a research project based in the group of Professor Fiona Meldrum in the School of Chemistry. The project is part of a £5.6M EPSRC Programme Grant that brings together a team of researchers including three experimental groups and five modelling groups from UCL and the universities of Leeds, Sheffield, and Warwick.

The overall goal of the consortium is to develop new ways to control crystallization by combining cutting-edge experiment and modelling to understand the mechanisms that determine how inorganic crystals nucleate and grow. There are multiple opportunities to collaborate, take part in network events and undertake research placements.

The position at Leeds will focus on strategies for controlling nucleation and crystal growth in the real world, where you will focus on the influence of graphene nanomaterials on crystallisation.

You will employ a wide range of techniques including scanning electron microscopy, and XRD to address this problem. Coupled with the insight provided by the modelling groups, this work will deliver an enhanced understanding of crystallization in the real world. You will have a PhD in Physical Sciences or a closely related field, and you will have a background in the experimental study of crystallization.

**What we offer in return**
- 26 days holiday plus approx.16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) - That’s 42 days a year
- Generous pension scheme plus life assurance - the University contributes 21.6% of salary.
- Health and Wellbeing: Discounted staff membership options at The Edge, our state-of-the-art Campus gym, with a pool, sauna, climbing wall, cycle circuit, and sports halls.
- Personal Development: Access to courses run by our Organisational Development & Professional Learning team, and self-development courses including languages, Creative Writing, Wellbeing Therapies and much more.
- Access to on-site childcare, shopping discounts and travel schemes are also available.

And much more
