Fixed term for 3 years, 37 hours per week
The School of Computing and Engineering at the University of Huddersfield is a research-intensive environment and home to many world-leading research groups including Electron Microscopy and Materials Analysis (EMMA). In EMMA, we specialise in radiation damage in materials including for nuclear applications, semiconductors technologies and extraterrestrial environments. Our principal experimental facility is the Microscope and Ion Accelerators for Materials Investigations (MIAMI-2) instrument which combines a transmission electron microscope (TEM) with dual ion-beamlines allowing in-situ observation of the dynamic evolution of radiation damage in materials on the nanoscale.
This is an exciting opportunity to join our team as a Research Assistant to provide support to our large numbers of projects. The duties of the successful applicant will include the following:
For a suitably motivated appointee, there will also be opportunities to be more-actively involved in our research projects both internally and with our international network of collaborators. We will also support the successful applicant in the development of their career by facilitating the pursuit of their own research interests and development of research funding bids (for example, for a fellowships or EPSRC New Investigator award) with the understanding that any additional activities must not cause conflict with the fulfilment of the core responsibilities of the role.
We offer an excellent employment package including hybrid working, blending a mix of remote and on-campus working (dependent on work duties).
