background

As a research colleague, the description of modern materials will be applied to face the urgent industry challenge: the discovery and improvement of the new ionic ion exchange materials mechanically to remove radioactive stretium ions and cesium that form a water liquid nuclear waste. It will work as part of a multidisciplinary team within the Dr. Vibi Alan group of the University of Birmingham (UOB), and in cooperation with scientists from the College of Minerals and Materials at UOB, Diamond Light Source, National Nuclear Laboratory, Sellafield Ltd and Henry Royce Institute. It will work through the boundaries of chemistry and materials to provide new materials and knowledge, while developing a wide range of modern scientific skills that apply directly to the job in academic or industry.

Role summary

The role involves:

• Work within the project team for the Epsrc project “The compound ion-ion-for the treatment of nuclear waste.”
• Chemical research for experimental materials to investigate mechanical properties and the structure of ionic ionic exchange materials using mechanical test, X -ray and calculated tomography and the development of the structure of the kingdom.
• Working through the limits of discipline for materials and chemistry science and Synchrotron science with the support of the broader project team to develop new and improved materials.

Person specifications

Basic standards

• The first degree in science, chemistry, physics, or related subject, and a doctorate degree (or near completion) in the science of materials, chemistry, or related discipline.
• A busy record in describing the structure or mechanical properties of solid condition materials.
• Experience in analyzing any of the mechanical test data (for example, pressure tests, nanoparticles) or Data of X -ray and calculated tomography experiences, including the polishing of Rietvert.
• The ability to deliver complex information clearly to various fans.
• Preparing to acquire skills (with appropriate training) in new technologies to complete the current experience.
• A clear ability to contribute to planning and organizing research, and a clear willingness to work as part of a multidisciplinary research team.

Desired criteria

• Experience in analyzing any of the mechanical test data (for example, pressure tests, nanoparticles) and Data of X -ray and calculated tomography experiences, including the polishing of Rietvert.
• A busy record for high -quality search outcomes and a clear commitment to research excellence.
• Experience in developing and applying Synchrotron experiences on site or neutron, especially those that use mechanical properties test.
• Experience in the creation and modification of solid status materials through water thermal techniques.
• Experience the characterization of ion exchange properties of solid status materials.
• The ability to successfully secure access to central facilities and lead the time of central facilities.
• The work experience in a multidisciplinary team.
• Experience with supervising and directing more young researchers.
