We are seeking a talented and motivated Research Fellow to join a multidisciplinary team developing innovative air sterilisation technologies for infection control in future hospital environments. The project adapts space technologies originally designed for propulsion and in-situ resource utilisation (ISRU) to healthcare applications. You will work under the supervision of Prof. Minkwan Kim, collaborating with the European Space Agency (ESA) and NHS Hampshire Hospitals. More information about the project is available at https://project-pasta.com. Key responsibilities include: Designing Power Processing and Control Unit, targeting compact and robust power delivery. Developing a PASTA testbed enabling remote control and monitoring. Optimising a PASTA plasma reactor. Developing a PASTA pilot test system You should hold a PhD (or equivalent experience) in Plasma Physics, Electrical or Aerospace Engineering. Experimental experience is essential; CFD or non-thermal plasma and power electronic design expertise is desirable. Excellent communication and writing skills are required. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research at the intersection of aerospace technology and healthcare innovation. Equality, diversity and inclusion is central to the ethos in the School of Engineering. We particularly encourage women, Black, Asian and minority ethnic, LGBT and disabled applicants to apply for this position. In recognition of our continued commitment to improving equality for women in science we were awarded an Athena SWAN bronze in 2013 and 2016.
