The Institute boasts a vibrant team of experienced and young researchers, and if successful you will join a team exploring research in aspects of bioenergy and sustainable chemicals.

This position offers the unique opportunity to work in a highly multidisciplinary setting and work with academic and non-academic partners.

We are proud to provide a supportive environment for early career researchers and offer mentoring/shadowing and other development opportunities to support staff in transitioning to new roles.

You are invited for a full-time (6 months) or part -time (27 hours for 9 months) Research Associate position in the Sustainable Fuels and Chemicals Group within EBRI.
