7 months ago
**BACKGROUND**
Applications are encouraged for a position as Research Associate based in the Department of Materials, funded by an EPSRC Impact Acceleration Account project entitled “Insights and Optimisation of Quantum Dot Coatings for Infrared Sensing”. You will focus on characterizing, understanding, and optimising the packing of quantum dot (QD) films/coatings for use in IR sensing technologies, working closely with our industry partner Quantum Science Ltd.
The main characterisation technique you will employ will be grazing incidence X-ray scattering SAXS/WAXS (GISAXS/GIWAXS), providing access to structural information on the relevant length scales (Å - nm m). You will have experience in conducting small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and in particular model fitting of experimental data, utilising software packages such as SASView (or equivalent). Direct experience working with quantum dots is not required and we are seeking seeking researchers with a materials/physics/chemistry postgraduate degree who are able to demonstrate suitable experience in utilising SAXS for material characterisation.
What you will get in return:
- Fantastic market leading Pension scheme
- Excellent employee health and wellbeing services including an Employee Assistance Programme
- Exceptional starting annual leave entitlement, plus bank holidays
- Additional paid closure over the Christmas period
- Local and national discounts at a range of major retailers
