    Research Fellow in Automated Polymer Chemistry - Liverpool, United Kingdom - University of Liverpool

    Default job background
    Full time, Fixed-Term/Contract
    Description

    A Research Fellow position is available in the group of Professor A. I. Cooper FRS to work in a team of scientists funded by the EPSRC Prosperity Partnership 'Cleaner Futures (Next-Generation Sustainable Materials for Consumer Products)'. The part of the project led by Prof. Cooper will focus on two key objectives: 1) development of automated and robot-assisted methods for polymer synthesis, reaction monitoring and evaluation of physicochemical properties (e.g. biodegradability and solubility) of polymers. 2) To apply model-driven automation to polymer synthesis and properties characterisation platforms.

    You will have a key role in developing automated methodologies for polymer chemistry and will work closely with roboticists and engineers in the Cooper group and other collaborators. The aim is to use automation to accelerate materials discovery and where possible to free up researcher time. You should have a PhD in relevant field (Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering etc.), expertise in polymer or materials chemistry is essential and any automation/high-throughput experience would be advantageous.

    The project will deliver a wide range of outcomes and impacts including new scientific platforms for designing and inventing renewable and biodegradable materials, and new routes to make these materials. We will exploit unique high-throughput robotic synthesis capabilities, coupled with optimisation algorithms. You will have the opportunity to work with unique robotic platforms and to gain experience that could help to launch a career either in academia or in industry.

    The post is available on a fixed-term basis for 2 years.

    The University has the right to close the vacancy early if it is deemed that there have been enough applications received.
