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 and in situ spectroscopy, 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 carried out by the main supervisor (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. The successful candidate will be based at Harwell, gaining experience across multiple techniques.

This role offers a unique opportunity to develop an integrated experimental skillset working closely with expertise in molecular simulation, 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 ideally synthesis and characterisation of zeolite catalysts. 

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.

Join our dedicated team and play a vital role in supporting the smooth and efficient administration of the Faculty of Engineering & Design’s taught degree programmes. Working closely with both professional services and academic colleagues, you’ll help ensure an excellent experience for our students.

As part of a small, collaborative team, flexibility and teamwork are key. Your primary focus will be on assessment-related processes throughout the academic and student lifecycle, but you’ll also provide day-to-day administrative support for teaching, assessment, and student data management.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Maintaining accurate student records on the University's database.
  • Assisting with core assessment and progression activities across departments.
  • Taking responsibility for the preparation and timely provision of accurate student assessment and progression data reports for the Faculty’s Boards of Examiners.
  • Supporting Directors of Studies and liaising with external examiners.

  • Great communication skills. Engaging confidently with students, academic colleagues, and external stakeholders.
  • A proactive approach. Taking initiative and working with autonomy when needed.

Experience in the use of university-specific software (e.g. Moodle, SAMIS/SITS, Business Objects and PowerBI) is desirable, though not essential, since training will be provided. Most important is an interest in our work, a willingness to become fully involved in both team business, and the life of the faculty and its departments. 

Further information

This is a full-time (36.5 hours per week) role. We are currently operating a hybrid work model, so there would be the opportunity to work from home if desired, with a three day per week minimum on campus requirement.  One of the on-campus working days must be a Wednesday.

Advance Your Engineering Career Through Innovation and Impact

The Department of Mechanical Engineering is seeking to recruit a Postdoctoral Research Associate to investigate the fluid dynamics and heat transfer in rotating compressor cavities of gas turbines engines. The project is funded by the EPSRC in collaboration with the University of Surrey, Rolls-Royce and Siemens Energy. We are seeking a driven and capable individual to lead a high-impact project developing the next generation of hydrogen-compatible turbomachinery technology.

This position will offer you a way to apply your experience to a project that could shape the future of green energy technology and net-zero aerospace. As the Research Associate, you’ll lead a technically ambitious project with real-world application and long-term value. You’ll have the chance to:

  • Take ownership of a major research project to advance the understanding of fluid-dynamics and heat transfer through innovative experimental methods
  • Work at the intersection of academia and industry with support from both
  • Develop your skills in leadership, innovation, and strategic technical development
  • Gain access to training and a personal development allowance
  • Broaden your professional network through interaction with industrial partners

This role offers the autonomy of an academic position, with the added benefits of structured support and mentoring.

The goal is to investigate experimentally the buoyancy-induced rotating flow in a compressor cavity at low TRL. The research is underpinned by brand new instrumentation and to be conducted over a range of non-dimensional, engine-representative conditions. The study includes a fundamental exploration of boundary-layer transition from laminar to turbulent flow at high Grashof number. The experiments will be complemented by computational simulation at the University of Surrey, with the aim to scale data to higher TRL. The successful completion and implementation of this research will improve engine design methods at Rolls-Royce and Siemens for next-generation hydrogen-compatible engines.

About you

The ideal candidate will have:

  • A PhD in a relevant engineering field or experience in industrial R&D
  • Experience with experimentation and data analysis tools such as Matlab
  • Proficiency in CAD
  • Confidence working independently and engaging with multiple stakeholders

]]> Wed, 16 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT <![CDATA[Research Associate in Mineral Construction Materials (SB13933)]]> https://www.bath.ac.uk/jobs/rss/click.aspx?ref=SB13933 https://www.bath.ac.uk/jobs/rss/click.aspx?ref=SB13933 About the role

The role is part of an exciting partnership with the University of Malaga in Spain, University of Manchester in the UK, and the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF), France, within the framework of the consortium, X-SeeO2 - ‘Real-time X-ray diffraction and microstructure imaging: accelerating the transformation of cementitious materials into CO2 sinks’. This project is funded by the European Innovation Council (EIC) under the Pathfinder “Towards Cement and Concrete as Carbon Sinks" Challenge. The Challenge seeks to support breakthrough innovations and (alternative) pathways for producing decarbonised and carbon-negative cement and concrete while maintaining its structural integrity and durability. 

 The 'X-SeeO2' project has been selected as a key 'enabling technology', and as part of the University of Bath team you will develop mechanochemistry pathways for the development of cementitious materials. You will determine the existing correlations between the properties of minerals of different provenances, and the effect of mechanochemical processing on their chemical reactivity. You will elucidate how to mechanochemically activated materials influence the microstructural features of reaction products formed in blended cements produced with them. This will be achieved by applying laboratory and synchrotron analytical materials characterisation techniques. This complemented by modelling of the processes developed and materials evaluated.

About you

The ideal candidate will:

  1. Hold a first degree and doctoral degree in Materials Science, Geology, Environmental Science or closely related disciplines
  2. Have a strong background in cementitious materials chemistry and/or mineral processing
  3. Experience in the characterisation and modelling of Portland and/or non-Portland cements
  4. A demonstrated understanding of the interrelationships between the chemistry of the cements evaluated, their phase assemblage and their pore structure development.
  5. Experience on CO2 mineralisation, CO2 curing and/or carbonation of cementitious materials
  6. Have excellent interpersonal skills and be willing to collaborate with a dynamic, collegial, and multi-disciplinary team of researcher at the University of Bath, and the different partner Universities and the organisations comprising the X-SeeO2 consortium. 
  7. Be able to travel often within the UK and internationally 

The ideal applicant will conduct the research in recently refurbished laboratories in the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering, as well as central facilities in the Faculty of Engineering and Design at the University of Bath. You will also enjoy access to the state-of-the-art characterisation facilities at the Henry Royce Institute at the University of Manchester, and University of Malaga, as well as access to the world-leading X-ray facilities of the European Synchrotron.   

Further information

This is a full time (36.5 hours) fixed term role with a duration of 12 months.
