About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Research Fellow to join our team at the Centre for Defence Chemistry. As a Research Fellow, you will contribute to our research in the development of insensitive explosive formulations using a wide range of conventional and processing techniques.

Your key responsibilities will include:

  • Assessing the compatibility, hazard, and thermal properties of novel explosive formulations
  • Investigating various process methods and developing safe process workflows
  • Conducting trials on processing methods to study the effects of changing processing parameters on the properties of the final product
  • Carrying out pressing studies on novel compositions

You will also be expected to work on existing formulation research contracts and support several projects within the Centre, working closely with colleagues and making effective use of our facilities.

About You

We are looking for a candidate with a PhD (or nearing completion) in a chemistry-related subject area and experience working with energetic materials.
