英國克拉菲爾德大學(xué)2024年招聘博士后(膜科學(xué)與技術(shù))

克蘭菲爾德大學(xué)(Cranfield University)前身為1946年創(chuàng)立的英國皇家空軍(RAF)貝德福德郡克蘭菲爾德基地航空學(xué)院,是全歐洲唯一擁有機場的大學(xué),是與歐洲工商界以及英國軍方有緊密合作的大學(xué)。是全英唯一僅培養(yǎng)科技與管理學(xué)碩士和博士研究生的大學(xué)。由于該校僅培養(yǎng)研究生和博士生,沒有本科部,故不參與各類綜合大學(xué)排名,是全球頂尖的國際化研究型高校,全英Top 5的研究型大學(xué)。

Research Fellow or Research Assistant in Membrane Science and Technology

Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Cranfield University

About the Role

Reverse osmosis (RO) membranes are critical to desalination and water reuse applications, for the selective separation of unwanted contaminants to produce high quality water. However, the polymer chemistry of the current class of reverse osmosis membranes makes practical operation a challenge due to the sensitivity to chemicals used for cleaning, limited tolerance to feedwater composition and an inability to operate intermittently, with these collective factors also reducing the membrane lifetime.

Cranfield are therefore working on a new generation of inorganic 2D materials to produce a chemically and physically robust reverse osmosis membrane technology, comprised of unique geometry that can provide a disruptive solution to the existing RO market which is experiencing substantial market growth. The successful candidate would work as part of an existing team developing this 2D technology at Cranfield, and as part of a wider international team of membrane scientists collaborating to accelerate this technology to market. Our ambition is unique, in seeking to accelerate from the basic materials science to a commercial scale module within the duration of the project. Consequently, the successful candidate would work within the team across areas of membrane preparation, synthesis, scale-up, system design and characterisation, with their specific role being dependent on experience and expertise. This is a rare opportunity to have meaningful input into the development of a new generation of membrane technologies which we intend to accelerate into the marketplace.

About You

You will have a PhD (or close to completion) in chemistry, chemical engineering, environmental engineering or a related discipline. Extensive knowledge in membrane materials science and/or membrane systems operation and diagnostics is essential. Applicants must have a proven ability in the design, build and construction of laboratory testing equipment, as well as undertaking extensive laboratory based experimental research.
