Are you an experienced Post-Doctoral Research Associate (PDRA) looking to join our dynamic and collaborative team, working at the forefront of sustainable access to high-tech and energy-critical materials in the transition to the green economy research?


We are looking for a PDRA to join the high-tech and energy-critical materials Research Group and contribute to the delivery of the European Li4life project, which deals with the novel domestic battery-grade lithium carbonate value chain for green living.

Li4life is a large Horizon Europe research project scheduled to run for three years, starting on January 1, 2024, with 18 partners across Europe, including both academic and industrial collaborators.


The project aims to develop an innovative, energy-efficient, and environmentally conscious scalable pilot plant for processing and refining lithium from underutilized battery raw materials deposits.

This focus will be on both poor and complex ores and tailings, creating the necessary prerequisites for scaling.

The project will ensure continuous operation, excellent co-recovery, and selectivity for lithium and other valuable elements such as Nb, Ta, Sn, Cs, REEs, Y, Sc.


You will have the opportunity to collaborate with a diverse, international team of academics, research institutes, and relevant industrial partners from different European countries and around the world.

Ideally, you should hold a PhD degree in a relevant field, such as material chemistry, chemistry, extractive metallurgy, material science, mineral engineering, or chemical engineering.

**This is a redeployment opportunity for colleagues who have been placed at risk of redundancy only, which includes anyone on a fixed term contract which is due to end before 31st August 2024.
