Research Fellow in Molten Salt Corrosion in Low Carbon Energy Systems

Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next exciting challenge? Do you have a background in materials science and corrosion? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research-intensive Universities? 

This post is for an EPSRC funded research project in collaboration with an international industrial partner, Sulzer Ltd.  Sulzer Ltd is a global leader in flow equipment; particularly high-performance pumps used renewable and low carbon energy generation systems that uses molten salts as heat transfer and storage medium; concentrated solar power systems and molten salt reactors.  This project will provide the research fellow an exciting opportunity to lead an exciting research project with potential for generating significant outputs and industrial impact and supported by an exciting research team and industrial partners.  

You will hold a PhD degree (or have submitted your thesis before taking up the role) in material science or corrosion science/engineering or a closely allied discipline.  You will also have significant experience in high temperature corrosion research preferably related to chemically aggressive environments.
