About this position
The University of Nottingham is recruiting a Postdoctoral Researcher for a Game Changers proof-of-concept project with Sellafield Ltd. The research will assess the capability of dielectric sensing for material characterisation.
The researcher will generate and analyse experimental evidence by developing and validating measurement protocols, carrying out systematic dielectric testing of representative materials, and analysing datasets to identify trends, measurement capabilities, limitations, and requirements for future development.
The role provides autonomy in experimental research and data analysis while involving close collaboration with project leads and engagement with the industrial partner at key project stages. The work sits at the intersection of materials science, electrical engineering, dielectric measurement, laboratory experimentation, and research data interpretation.
Dr Orla Williams is the listed contact for further questions about the role, which is based at the University of Nottingham's University Park location.
