Job description

The Henry Royce Institute (Royce) is an EPSRC-funded national institute, with its Hub at The University of Manchester. The Institute has spokes at ten partner and associate organisations, the Universities of, Sheffield, Leeds, Liverpool, Cambridge, Cranfield, Strathclyde, Oxford and Imperial College London, as well as at the UK Atomic Energy Authority and National Nuclear Laboratory. Royce, driven by a vision of ‘advanced materials for a sustainable society’, supports the UK in growing its world-leading research and innovation in advanced materials.

The Royce is seeking to establish a distributed team of 4 Application Scientists to help develop and deliver short/sprint projects based around the capabilities of our world-leading infrastructure and research expertise.

Each member of the team will have a particular area of focus:

  • Sustainable polymer synthesis, characterisation and end-of-life (Manchester based)
  • Evaluation of materials for demanding environments (fatigue, corrosion, high temp materials etc.) (Manchester based)
  • Electrochemical material characterisation (batteries and electrolyser technologies) (Oxford based)
  • Biomaterials development and characterisation (electrospinning, nanofiber technologies, 3D Printing and additive manufacturing) (Manchester-based)

The Application Scientist post is a substantive new role within the Royce. You will form part of an interconnected, diverse team who, working with each other and the Research and Business Engagement team, will engage with industry (and the national RTO network), to identify, scope, and most importantly, help deliver technical solutions in the area of materials science which cannot be supported by the existing national infrastructure.

The posts would suit recent PhD graduates or others who would enjoy working in a university environment on a series of short term applied problems of relevance to industry. You will work closely with our academic and technical teams to help develop solutions to applied problems and show a high level of initiative. You will be flexible to travel to partner organisations and whilst the roles are initially for one year, if successful we hope to extend them.

As an equal opportunities employer we welcome applicants from all sections of the community regardless of age, sex, gender (or gender identity), ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation and transgender status. All appointments are made on merit.

Our University is positive about flexible working – you can find out more here
