About this position
Northumbria University is advertising a Postdoctoral Research Fellow position on an EPSRC-funded project focused on sustainable de/anti-icing for cold-weather infrastructure.
The project addresses ice accumulation on wind turbines, aircraft, and optical systems, aiming to replace energy-intensive approaches and PFAS-based solutions with a better strategy. The research combines novel slippery, PFAS-free coatings with active de/anti-icing using surface acoustic waves to shed ice on demand.
The role is centered on the active side of the project: designing, building, and testing acoustic-wave devices that remove ice from real engineering surfaces. The successful candidate will work at Northumbria University with a collaborative team including Richard Yongqing Fu, Prashant Agrawal, and Hamdi Torun, and with collaborators at the University of Edinburgh including Glen McHale, Gary Wells, and Dipa Roy.
Applicants should have a background in engineering, physics, materials, or a related field. The post is suitable for researchers interested in applied science, device development, surface engineering, and environmental impact. The post does not mention a deadline in the excerpt provided.
Interested candidates should review the full advert on the Northumbria recruitment portal and follow the application instructions there. Informal inquiries can be directed to the announcer, Hamdi Torun.
