If you have an interest in the work we are doing why not get in touch?

Generally we are looking to work with enthusiastic engineers and scientists interested in how microstructure and properties interact. A background in Materials / Engineering / Physics / Chemistry or Computing is advised.

As a group, we strongly value equality, diversity and inclusion initiatives.

Visiting and Research Fellows:

If you are interested in applying for funding to work with the group, please get in touch with Dr Ben Britton.

There are a range of schemes available, many of which are listed on the Post Doctoral Fellowships page.
