About the role

Vinyl plastics such as poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), polystyrene, and related materials underpin a wide range of high value applications, yet their robust carbon–carbon backbones make them exceptionally difficult to recycle at end of life. 

Current recycling routes are dominated by mechanical reprocessing or by high temperature thermochemical methods that operate with poor selectivity and high energy demand. 

These limitations present a major barrier to achieving circularity for vinylic polymers and contribute significantly to the carbon footprint of the plastics sector.

In this project, you will play a central role in developing a cavitation based process to depolymerise materials such as PMMA (Perspex). 

Extensive experiments around understanding solvent effects, radical initiation pathways, kinetics, and side product formation will be involved. 

Cavity dynamics modelling will also be performed to understand the impact of cavitating medium on cavitation intensity and reaction kinetics. 

You will collaborate with colleagues in the Department of Chemistry (photolytic depolymerisation and advanced characterisation) and Department of Mechanical Engineering (systems analysis) at the University of Bath. 

This mechanistic insight will directly inform process optimisation, reactor design, developing hybrid photolytic-cavitation processes and extension of the methodology to additional vinyl polymers and mixed plastic systems.  

As part of a wider team, you will contribute to a step change in sustainable polymer chemistry aligned with Net Zero and circular economy goals.

Our ideal candidate

• PhD in chemical engineering or associated discipline
• Knowledge in organic solvent cavitation, cavitation of non-aqueous medium or cavity dynamics modelling
• Broader idea of non-thermal and non-mechanical plastic recycling or chemical recycling of plastics
• Excellent oral, interpersonal and written communication skills
• The ability to work well in an interdisciplinary environment
• Ability to organise and prioritise own workload to meet required deadlines
• Ability to write research reports and to effectively disseminate outcomes

You will be an experienced and demonstrably successful project or programme manager. A can-do attitude, with a dynamic and pragmatic approach to record keeping, project administration, and enabling outcomes (both yours and others) is essential, and we look forward to hearing from you.

About us

CAST is a global hub for understanding the crucial role that people play in fighting climate change. 

We are a cross-institutional research centre with world-leading expertise in environmental psychology, behaviour change, public engagement, policy, governance, education, and more. Our Centre is a vibrant community, committed to doing impactful research and to promoting an inclusive and positive working environment (see our EDI plan).

About the role

We are seeking a Research Associate to contribute to a major new research programme funded by a philanthropic organisation, on People-Centred Climate Resilience (PCR). 

The four-year programme aims to accelerate transformative, equitable, climate-resilient, low-carbon behaviour change by integrating individual and systemic approaches, developing and testing innovative composite interventions, and empowering diverse communities and stakeholders to drive sustained societal transformation across scales and sectors.

Your role will principally involve conducting a longitudinal cross-national survey on life choices, including survey design, data collection and analysis, and disseminating findings to create impact. 

This project will explore the little-examined area of how climate change influences individuals’ life choices, such as where to live, what career to follow, and whether and when to have children. 

You will undertake a large cross-national longitudinal survey of 15+ countries to explore the relative salience of climate change versus other factors in these major life choices.  

About you

You will have a PhD or equivalent in a relevant subject (e.g. psychology) with strong quantitative research skills, including survey design and statistical analysis. 

You will also have detailed specialist knowledge in climate-relevant attitudes and behaviours.

Current recycling routes are dominated by mechanical reprocessing or by high-temperature thermochemical methods that operate with poor selectivity and high energy demand. These limitations present a major barrier to achieving circularity for vinyl polymers and contribute significantly to the carbon footprint of the plastics sector.

In this project, you will play a central role in the chemistry-led work package investigating the fundamental mechanisms governing photo-depolymerisation of materials such as PMMA (Perspex). You will collaborate with colleagues in the Department of Chemical Engineering (Cavitation initiated depolymerisation) and the Department of Mechanical Engineering (systems analysis) at the University of Bath.

This mechanistic insight will directly inform process optimisation, reactor design, and extension of the methodology to additional vinyl polymers and mixed plastic systems. As part of a wider team, you will also interact with Chemical Engineers and Systems Analysis experts to assess potential technologies as scalable recycling concepts, contributing to a step-change in sustainable polymer chemistry aligned with Net Zero and circular-economy goals.

About you

Primarily, you will work under the supervision of Dr Simon Freakley, Dr Jon Husband and Prof. Matthew Davidson and be trained in polymer science, kinetic and mechanistic studies of reaction and photo–catalysis/chemistry - building on preliminary results published in Photo-initiated solvent-mediated depolymerization of consumer poly(methyl methacrylate) without chlorinated reagents. Nat Commun 17, 1235 (2026). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-67997-7

• PhD in Chemistry or associated discipline
• Knowledge in Photochemistry / Photocatalysis and / or (de)polymerisation chemistry
• Broader idea of non-thermal and non-mechanical plastic recycling or chemical recycling of plastics
• Excellent oral, interpersonal and written communication skills
• The ability to work well in an interdisciplinary environment
• Ability to organise and prioritise own workload to meet required deadlines
• Ability to write research reports and to effectively disseminate outcomes

Further information

This role is offered on a full time fixed term basis (36.5 hours per week for 36 months). 

For an informal discussion regarding the role please contact Simon Freakley at sf756@bath.ac.uk.

Department: Education & Research

Salary: £38,784 to £46,049

This role is part of the UK Catalysis Hub where the practical work will take place at the Research Complex at Harwell (RCaH), working within the Hub laboratories.

The UK Catalysis Hub is a national consortium of 46 universities, 15 companies, the STFC Harwell science facilities, and 13 international partners established in 2013 to coordinate and advance UK catalysis research and connect it internationally. Now in its third phase of funding, its priority research areas include sustainability and net zero, digital chemistry, and advanced characterisation methods. One of its core missions is to support the training and career development of early career researchers via community events.

This is an exciting opportunity for a skilled and motivated postdoctoral researcher to work at the interface of heterogeneous catalysis, in situ spectroscopy, and computational modelling to understand molecular behaviour in zeolite catalysts for sustainable aviation fuels.

This one-year project brings together complementary expertise in catalytic testing and in situ spectroscopy (Lezcano Gonzalez, UK Catalysis Hub/Manchester) with atomistic modelling and simulation of microporous catalysts (O’Malley, Bath). The work will focus on the alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) process, a key route to sustainable aviation fuels, and aims to establish how adsorption, diffusion, and competitive site interactions within zeolite micropores govern catalytic performance, selectivity, and stability.

The project will involve catalytic testing in fixed-bed reactors and in situ FTIR/DRIFTS spectroscopy to probe adsorption, acid-site interactions, and reaction intermediates, alongside computational studies using density functional theory and molecular dynamics simulations. The successful candidate will be based at Harwell and will work closely with both experimental and modelling teams, gaining experience across multiple techniques.

This role offers a unique opportunity to develop an integrated experimental–computational skillset, with strong links to national facilities (ISIS and Diamond) and future large-scale research programmes. There will also be opportunities to engage with industrial partners working on sustainable aviation fuels and advanced catalyst materials. 

Both the UKCH and University of Bath are strongly committed to ED&I and RRI, with comprehensive strategies to tackle long-standing issues facing under-represented groups and key ethical issues, focusing on empowering, inspiring, connecting and upskilling more diverse leaders.

About you

Ideal candidate will have experience in the use of vibrational spectroscopy to study the adsorption of molecules into porous materials, and experience of collaborating with expertise in quantum mechanical calculations or using such methods directly. 

Apart from excellent technical skills, good organisational, communication and presentation skills are essential for this role, as is the ability to work well in an interdisciplinary environment. 

Interaction with partners of the UK Catalysis Hub and participation in their events will be expected.

Further information

This is a full time (36.5 hours per week) fixed term role with an expected start date of September 2026 for 12 months.
