Research Associate in High-performance 2D Membranes (KK

Job at University of Bath in Bath, Bath and North East Somerset, BA2

The Department of Chemical Engineering are seeking a Research Associate in High-performance 2D Membranes to provide subject-specific research expertise and undertake collaborative research work within the department.

About the role

This is a full-time, 24 month, fixed term position and is part of the EPSRC-funded Programme Grant ‘SynHiSel’, a major effort linking membrane researchers at Bath, Manchester, Newcastle, Imperial College, Queen Mary and Edinburgh Universities:(https://gow.epsrc.ukri.org/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/V047078/1)

Chemical separations are essential to almost every aspect of our daily lives, from the energy we use to the medications we take. Separations consume 10-15% of the total energy used in the world, with novel membranes having the potential to make these separations 10x more energy efficient and save 100m tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions and £3.5bn in energy costs annually (US DoE). 

2D membranes have the potential to deliver on this promise of higher efficiency, provided lack of stability and high manufacturing costs can be overcome. At Bath, we have developed a new class of inherently stable 2D membranes for liquid separations which overcome the limits of graphene-based membranes, and using an abundant and inexpensive feedstock material. In this 2-year post-doctoral position you will work on exploring new applications for our 2D membranes and work on manufacturing scaleup in collaboration with academic and industrial partners.

About you

You will have prior expertise on membrane fabrication using 2D nanomaterials, membrane characterisation and their testing in liquid separations. 

You will be joining a multidisciplinary group with expertise in materials, chemistry, process engineering and water treatment, working with Prof John Chew and Prof Davide Mattia in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Bath, UK.

As a member of Research Staff at the University of Bath, you will be encouraged to take up a minimum of 10 days professional development pro rata per year"

Please note, a lower grade offer may be made (Grade 6) with comparable reduction in responsibilities and amendment in job title to Research Assistant. To be considered, you will need to be within six months of your course completion date and will be promoted to Research Associate once your PhD has been awarded.
