Research Fellows in Liquid Crystals Physics (2 posts)

Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have a background in experimental liquid crystal physics? Do you want to further your career in one of the UKs leading research-intensive Universities?

You will have an experimental PhD degree (or have submitted your thesis before taking up the role) and research experience in Physics and/or Engineering along with significant experience in experimental liquid crystal physics, including novel low molar mass and elastomeric systems and their applications, or related areas.

You will work as part of a multidisciplinary team, focusing on a range of liquid crystal-based systems and working on the design, fabrication, optimisation, and characterisation of liquid crystalline materials. In addition to contributing to different research topics as part of the team, you will be an excellent communicator, writing papers, contributing to patent applications, and making presentations.

We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements. 

Interviews to be held on 5^th or 6^th February 2025.
