About this position

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Plasma-Driven Nitrogen Fixation at the University of Liverpool, United Kingdom.

This is an EPSRC-funded postdoctoral opening in an interdisciplinary project focused on plasma-driven nitrogen fixation and the sustainable generation of fertiliser from air and water. The successful candidate will work with researchers at the University of Liverpool and collaborators at UCL to develop, construct, and optimise a plasma-liquid reactor based on an existing plasma source design.

The role combines plasma science, physics, electrical engineering, numerical modelling, and analytical chemistry. Responsibilities include designing and testing the prototype system, analysing experimental and simulation data, understanding nitrogen fixation pathways, quantifying nitrogen-containing products, and publishing research outputs.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a PhD, or have passed their PhD viva, in plasma science, physics, electrical engineering, or a closely related discipline. Prior research experience with plasma-liquid systems is essential, especially where both experimental work and numerical simulation/modelling are involved. Experience in plasma source development, plasma diagnostics, reactor optimisation, or analytical chemistry would be an advantage.

Employment details: full-time, fixed term for 10 months. The post is located in Liverpool, England, United Kingdom. The deadline is 27 September 2026.

How to apply: use the University of Liverpool recruitment portal linked in the post, review the job specification, and submit your application before the deadline.
