The appointment will be full time on UCL Grade 7. The salary range will be £33,686 - £40,716 per annum, inclusive of London Allowance.
Applications are invited by highly talented researchers for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position under the supervision of Professor Asterios Gavriilidis in the Department of Chemical Engineering at UCL, to work on "magnetic Nanoparticle Engineering via Microreaction Technology". This is a multidisciiplinary project whose goal is to synthesise novel magnetic nanoparticles to be used in healthcare and nanomedicine.
This project is supported by the EPSRC and is in collaboration with the UCL Department of Physics. The successful applicant will join a highly motivated group working at the interface of chemical engineering, chemistry, materials, and nanomedicine. The main purpose of this role is to undertake experimental and theoretical work in designing and evaluating microchannel reactors and continuous processes for the synthesis of nanoparticles and the post-holder will be expected to contribute to the design and implementation of the research strategy. The post is available immediate and is funded for 1 year in the first instance.
Applicants must be able to demonstrate commitment to high-quality research and proven research skills. In particular, knowledge and experience in chemical reaction engineering, continuous processing, flow chemistry, imaging techniques, modelling reaction and transport processes (mass and heat transfer, mixing, multiphase flows), micro-fabrication, microfluidics, nanoparticle synthesis, nanoparticle characterisation and multi-disciplinary working would be an advantage. Candidates should have published work in international journals, have a first degree in Engineering or cognate discipline, and have (or be about to obtain) a PhD degree in Chemical /Process Engineering, Engineering, or cognate discipline, and will ideally have submitted their thesis prior to taking up the position.
