Research and PhD Administrator
3 weeks ago
Fixed-term: We are excited to announce a new opening for a Research Assistant/Associate position in the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, University of Cambridge, through the Translational Impact Funding Scheme from Cambridge Enterprise.
The research project will aim to produce and characterise new compostable cellulose films based on processing of cellulose nanofibrils, with the potential for industrial scale-up and widespread adoption.
The outcomes will be an improved scientific understanding of naturally derived plastics and a suite of prototype materials suitable for emerging markets in compostable films.
The position available is in the area of fabrication and characterisation of plastic packaging from natural feedstocks.
The work will comprise manufacture of films from cellulose nanofibrils and characterisation of mechanical properties and smart functional properties relevant to their use in food packaging.
The project will be based in the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy and will be co-supervised by Professors James Elliott, Ruth Cameron and Serena Best.
Completion of a PhD in a relevant technical area is required.
Knowledge, skills and experience specific to the research area are essential.
Excellent communication skills and evidence of the ability to produce high-quality research outputs are also required.
A successful applicant who has submitted their thesis but not yet received their PhD would be appointed at Research Assistant level, which will be amended to Research Associate once the PhD has been awarded.
The University actively supports equality, diversity and inclusion and encourages applications from all sections of society.
