The University of Surrey is a global community of ideas and people, dedicated to life-changing education and research.  We are ambitious and have a bold vision of what we want to achieve - shaping ourselves into one of the best universities in the world, which we are achieving through the talents and endeavour of every employee. Our culture empowers people to achieve this aim and to collectively, and individually, make a real difference. The role Applications are invited for a Research Fellow position to work in the Catalysis for Chemical Circularity Group in the School of Engineering, University of Surrey. The main role of the post holder will be to carry out research to develop a geological inspired mechanochemical-UV process for efficient ROS production, using earth-abundant rock minerals. This interdisciplinary project is in close collaboration with academics in the University of Newcastle, University of Birmingham, and companies in the waste management and plastic production sectors. By participating in the stakeholder engagement, the post holder will gain great insight in the geo-mechanochemistry and plastic chemical recycling field. In addition, as part of a new EPSRC supporting career development initiative, the post holder will be provided with a separate amount of career development funding dedicated for their career development. The main project objectives are: Mineral screening for ROS generation and inter-discipline knowledge transfer. Optimise control parameters with high-throughput mechanochemical platform, and investigate interaction between mechanochemistry and UV. Demonstrate the effectiveness of on-demand ROS generation for polyolefin waste upcycling. About you The successful candidate should hold or be about to receive a PhD in Material Science, Chemistry or Chemical Engineering, or a closely related discipline. You should have a strong background in experimental catalyst design, characterisation and testing. Prior knowledge of mechanochemistry, polymer chemistry and physics, plastic chemical recycling is especially welcomed. Essential experiences, knowledge and skills include: Practical experience with experimental design, catalytic reactions, material characterisation and chemical product analysis Ability to conduct a detailed review of recent literature Skilled in characterisation and analysis techniques such as XRD, FTIR, TGA, Raman spectroscopy, chromatography, NMR, and mass spectroscopy Excellent verbal and written communication skills  Willingness to travel both within the United Kingdom and abroad to conduct research and attend conferences How to apply To apply for this role, please upload a CV and cover letter with your application via the University of Surrey website.

Dr Jonathan West is Associate Professor in Biomedical Microfluidics. Research is focussed on clinical translation and technology commercialisation to benefit patient care. Jonathan has patented a microfluidic method for understanding platelet activity with potential to predict thrombosis risk and associated heart attack and stroke risk. These are poised for commercialisation in readiness for clinical impact. Please contact Dr West (J.J.West@soton.ac.uk) if you have any queries regarding this role or would like further information. The Role The role involves using an advanced microfluidic technology to monitor the platelets of patients with sepsis or severe respiratory infection. The research entails working with our partners at University Hospital Southampton and commercial partners providing comprehensive flow cytometry data sets to benchmark the microfluidic technology. What We Can Offer You Committed to supporting our teaching and research community we are open to flexible working. With an understanding that there is a need to be on campus for teaching duties we are open to a hybrid approach. We give full consideration to applicants that wish to work flexibly including part-time and those who have taken a career break. Proud to be a founding signatory of the Athena Swan gender equality charter we hold an institutional Silver award.
