Job Description:

This 3-year post-doctoral research associate (PDRA) position will form part of an interdisciplinary EPSRC-funded research project to advance the UKs capabilities to recycle currently hard to recycle products. The Recovering Molecular Value from Unrecycled Multi-materials (REMOVE-UM) project addresses the challenge of recovering value from complex multi-material products for which limited viable recycling methods currently exist, and which are often incinerated for energy recovery or consigned to landfill. The research program integrates economic, environmental, and societal measures to inform decision-making throughout. It encompasses the analysis of end-of-life material flows, the chemical valorisation of materials using a range of techniques and the development of advanced separation technologies to efficiently recover value. Due to the inherent complexity of this challenge an interdisciplinary team of researchers is being assembled to collaborate on developing sustainable, economically viable solutions for multi-material, plastic-containing waste.

Job Responsibility:

  • Assess opportunities for the valorisation of waste streams
  • Assess valorisation strategies being developed throughout the project to maximize economic potential and minimize environmental impact
  • Support the day-to-day running of the group
  • Offer technical guidance, mentorship, and supervision to PhD and undergraduate students when required
  • Assist with research activities
  • Foster collaboration within the group
  • Contribute to a dynamic and productive research environment

Requirements:

  • Post-doctoral research associate
  • Expertise in life cycle thinking, economic and environmental sustainability assessment including techno-economic analysis (TEA) and life cycle assessment (LCA)
  • Enthusiastic and collaborative
What we offer:
  • Fantastic market leading Pension scheme
  • Excellent employee health and wellbeing services including an Employee Assistance Programme
  • Exceptional starting annual leave entitlement, plus bank holidays
  • Additional paid closure over the Christmas period
  • Local and national discounts at a range of major retailers
