Post Doctoral Research Associate in Low Temperature Plasma Modelling - Grade 7

We are seeking to recruit an enthusiastic, highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate to work on an exciting EPSRC project "Plasma-triggered gelation". The starting date of the project is 1^st April 2025. This is a highly multidisciplinary skills project involving three universities.

You will be working closely with Dr Mohammad Hasan in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics at the University of Liverpool. Your role will include building a computational model for the interaction of a plasma with a solution undergoing the sol-gel transition process. The role also includes conducting experimental validation against experimentally available data, analysis and dissemination of results in journal papers and conferences.

You should have a PhD degree or near completion in Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics or a closely related subject.

Research experience and excellent knowledge in numerical modelling of plasmas is essential.

To fulfil all the deliverables of the project you will work closely with team members as well as external collaborators. You should therefore be enthusiastic in the discipline, committed, and motivated, with an aptitude for independent working, as part of a diverse, interdisciplinary team.

The post is offered on a fixed term basis until March 2028.

If you are still awaiting your PhD to be awarded you will be appointed at Grade 6, spine point 30.  Upon written confirmation that you have been awarded your PhD, your salary will be increased to Grade 7, spine point 31.
