The School of Materials Science & Engineering (MSE) invites applications for the position of Research Fellow. The Research Fellow should have a strong record of polymer chemistry with related experience in composites, resin transfer moulding, adhesives, and/or formulation development. Other desirable qualifications include industrial background in induction, nanomaterials, coatings, polyesters, acrylates, and/or elastomeric materials. We look for applicants who are highly motivated and can demonstrate initiative and lead a technical team.
Key Responsibilities:
Develop, improve and assess metal oxide nanomaterial additives in thermoplastic resins.
Identify and select monomers for use in thermoplastic composites.
Define and measure colloidal stability of nanomaterials in selected resins.
Assess chemical and rheological properties of in situ polymerization resins.
Use Computer Aided Design (CAD) programs to create demonstrator and product concepts
Manage and deliver project KPIs and objectives per plan
Ensure milestone delivery per plan/schedule, manage/control project risks & mitigating actions
Prepare/consolidate periodic reports (finance, technical) as required
Manage project documentation, knowledge/data capture and reporting
Manage logistical issues and laboratory inventory
Ensure compliance with health and safety in all aspects of the research work
Work in a research group comprising postdoctoral fellows, PhD/undergraduate students, internships, and academic/industrial collaborators who are actively engaged in novel methods of composite manufacturing.
Job Requirements:
Master’s/PhD (preferred) in Science or Engineering field from reputable university.
Polymer chemistry experience related to in situ polymerization or resin transfer moulding is highly desired.
Formulation development related to colloidal stability, dynamic light scattering, rheology, and/or composites manufacturing is an advantage.
Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, and ability to work in a diverse, international, and inter-disciplinary research environment.
Minimum of 2 years of public/private sector or industrial experience.
Hands-on knowledge of polymer chemistry and resin formulation development.
Experience in schedule and resource planning of complex multi-party engineering projects.
Ability to work well with multiple competing priorities, manage projects and meet deadlines.
Ability to work independently and as part of a team with strong initiatives.
Evidence of research outputs, communication, and interpersonal skills.
Strong record of scientific/industrial impact within a composites/materials/engineering sector.
We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
