About this position
University College London (UCL), Department of Chemical Engineering, is recruiting a Research Fellow in Reactor Design, Operation and Monitoring for the Sustainable Open-loop Large-scale Inter-seasonal Thermochemical Heat Storage (SOLIS) project.
This is a research role focused on chemical engineering, reactor design, reactor operation, reactor monitoring, multiphase flow, heat integration, fluidization, powder technologies, and reaction engineering. The successful candidate will lead the design and construction of a pilot-scale reactor, carry out experimental and theoretical/computational research, and collaborate with researchers within SOLIS and international partners.
The position is based in London, United Kingdom, within UCL BEAMS / Department of Chemical Engineering. It is a full-time, fixed-term, on-site research appointment running from 1 January 2027 to 30 September 2029 in the first instance.
Applicants must hold a PhD in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, materials science, physical sciences, or a related discipline. The advert also asks for experience in reactor design and construction, P&ID, experimentation and analysis, and either fluidization, powder technologies, or reaction engineering. Hands-on experience with reactor assembly and risk assessment is essential.
Salary is £46,261–£48,679 per annum inclusive of London allowance. This is a staff research position rather than a PhD or master’s studentship, and no scholarship funding is described.
Deadline: 21 October 2026.
