The University of Bath is offering a postdoctoral research associate position in the Faculty of Engineering & Design, focusing on sustainable construction materials and cementitious materials. This opportunity is part of the X-SeeO2 consortium project, 'Real-time X-ray diffraction and microstructure imaging: accelerating the transformation of cementitious materials into CO2 sinks,' funded by the European Innovation Council under the Pathfinder Challenge 'Towards Cement and Concrete as Carbon Sinks.' The project involves collaboration with Universidad de Málaga (Spain), The University of Manchester - NXCT (UK), and ESRF - The European Synchrotron (France).

The successful candidate will work with Professor Susan Andrea Bernal Lopez, Xinyuan Ke, and Ilda Tole at the University of Bath, developing mechochemistry pathways for producing cementitious materials and applying advanced characterisation techniques to understand the fundamentals of these approaches. The research is closely aligned with the CAER Uni of Bath Centre for Integrated Materials, Processes & Structures (IMPS) and the RENEW Centre for Regenerative Design and Engineering for a Net Positive World.

Applicants should hold a PhD in materials science, civil engineering, environmental science, or a related discipline. Experience with cementitious materials, advanced characterisation techniques, and mechochemistry is highly desirable. The position is fully funded by the European Innovation Council, though specific details about salary or stipend are not provided. The application process is strictly through the University of Bath's official system, and applications sent via email will not be considered.
