**Salary**: £32,348 - £37,474 per annum
**Closing Date**: 10 January 2023
The Role
**What we are looking for**:
We want to work with highly-talented, ambitious scientists and engineers. You should therefore be able to demonstrate a track record (suitable for your career stage) that is based upon collaborative, thought-provoking laboratory research aligned with the Materials, Concepts and Reaction Engineering Group [1].
As this position will be funded by two specific research grants [2, 3], you must have experience in laboratory experiments with ion-conducting ceramic membranes or molten salts, and, in addition, experience in one of the following: carbon dioxide separation processes; experimental study of gas-solid and/or gas-liquid reactions; experimental study of ion transport processes.
Your role will be to fabricate and characterise supported molten-salt membranes [4], which will include inorganic materials synthesis, gas sorption/permeation testing, and (typically via external collaboration) inorganic materials characterisation (diffraction, tomography, microscopy, spectroscopy, surface area and porosity analysis etc ).
**What we provide**:
It is only fair to expect that we will support your career aspirations. Whether you want to build your research track record, seek a position in industry, or launch your own independent academic career, we are very well placed to provide guidance and support. Our previous group members work in leading companies, hold prestigious research fellowships, and have started their own research groups. If you invest your time in us, we will support you to reach your goals.
Due to the funding associated with this award you will be provided with opportunities for collaborative research (including travel to partner universities) and researcher development training as part of multi-institution cohorts. Additionally, there is financial support to attend national and international conferences.
**Who we are**:
**Newcastle University**:
Newcastle University is a Russell Group University, situated in a modern, vibrant, affordable, mid-sized city. Most other major UK cities can be reached within 2 - 3 hours by train, there are multiple national parks and coastal areas within 1 - 2 hours, and there is significant regional investment in battery manufacturing, carbon capture, and hydrogen production.
As part of our commitment to career development for research staff, the University has developed 3 levels of research role profiles. These profiles set out firstly the generic competences and responsibilities expected of role holders at each level and secondly the general qualifications and experiences needed for entry at a particular level.
