University of Warwick - School of Engineering

Location: Coventry, University of Warwick
Salary: £35,116 to £45,413 per annum
Hours: Full Time
Contract Type: Fixed-Term/Contract
Placed On: 3rd July 2025
Closes: 24th July 2025

For informal enquiries, please contact Dr Hungyen Lin (Associate Professor) Hungyen.Lin@warwick.ac.uk

This is a full time (36.5hrs/week) fixed-term contract for up to 3 years, finishing 31st December 2027, with possible extension.

We are seeking to appoint a Research Fellow for a multi-institutional EPSRC project led by Dr Hungyen Lin.

The overall goal of the project is to work collaboratively with colleagues at University of Surrey to develop new understanding on ion-exchange membranes, focussing on developing novel environmental-controlled terahertz spectroscopy, systematic experimental characterisations and advanced characterisations such as X-ray, electron, and neutron scattering and imaging experiments.

You will undertake independent and collaborative research and will be expected to write up your research for publication.

You will be expected to deal with any management/administration problems that may arise from the project and produce and present regular project reports to project stakeholders ensuring that the project objectives and deadlines are met. 

You will also be willing to supervise PhD/Masters and undergraduate final-year levels on related projects.

This post is based at the University of Warwick at the School of Engineering, however the successful candidate will be required to make occasional trips to the project partners in the U.K.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone previously researching on terahertz spectroscopy and ion-exchange membranes.

About You  

We are seeking a highly qualified individual with a PhD (or near completion) in in Electronic Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Applied Physics, or a closely related subject.

The ideal candidate will have proven ability in research and evidence of quality research output in the relevant field of terahertz instrumentation/ sensing of thin films or ion-exchange membranes.

You will have sufficient breadth or depth of specialist knowledge in the discipline particularly related to thin film handling and terahertz systems and spectroscopy.

You are expected to be self-reliant and have a track record of: safe laboratory working risk assessments; publications; problem solving and technical skills; proactive engagement with a range of stakeholders (beyond academia).

Experience in membrane handling, CAD and temperature/humidity control is desirable while the ability to code in Python or other related programming languages will constitute a distinct advantage.

Strong communication skills including the ability to communicate effectively in English, both verbally and in writing is essential.

If you have not yet been awarded your PhD but are near submission or have recently submitted your PhD, any offers of employment will be made as Research Assistant on level 5 of the University grade structure. Upon successful award of your PhD and evidence of this fact, you will be promoted to Research Fellow on the first point of the level 6 of the University grade structure.

For further information regarding the skills required for this role please see the personal specification section of the attached job description.
