Jake Yang

The University of Leicester is recruiting a Process Engineering Research Associate to support the scale-up of lithium-ion battery recycling technology developed through the ReLiB Project. The work focuses on NMC and LFP battery recycling, process scale-up, separation technology, and industrial validation. The researcher will help translate laboratory-developed approaches into real-world technology through work connected with a 100 kg/h pilot plant and industrial demonstration. Based at the Centre for Sustainable Materials Processing (CSMP), the project sits at the interface of sustainable materials processing, chemical and process engineering, mineral processing, and resource recovery. The role offers an opportunity to contribute to the development and validation of recycling processes for lithium-ion batteries, working toward practical deployment beyond the research environment. The post is associated with the University of Leicester, the ReLiB Project, and the wider Faraday Institution ecosystem, with named contributors including Jake Yang, Josef Walker, Carl Edwards, and Paul Corazzo. The advert also notes potential engagement with scientific entrepreneurship during or after the project.
