Join the HOLLOW SILK project, an ambitious research project funded by the Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA) through its Universal Fabricators programme. HOLLOW SILK aims to develop a novel manufacturing platform based on engineered silk, for the production of microstructured optical fibres. By combining expertise in biomaterials, fibre manufacturing, chemistry, photonics and engineering, the project will establish innovative routes to advanced materials and structures that are difficult, or even impossible, to achieve using conventional manufacturing technologies.

We are recruiting two Postdoctoral Researchers to join the project for up to 36 months. 

The two positions will play complementary roles within the team. We anticipate appointing at least one Research Associate, and are particularly keen for the other appointment to be made at Research Fellow level, with responsibility for providing technical leadership across the programme.

The project will be based within the Centre for Photonics at the Â鶹´«Ã½, providing a highly collaborative environment. 

The successful candidates will join a highly interdisciplinary and international team. Alongside the two Â鶹´«Ã½ postdoctoral researchers, the project includes three further postdoctoral researchers based at Tufts University, a research technician at the Â鶹´«Ã½, and programme administrator, providing significant opportunities for collaboration, exchange of expertise and international engagement.

Researchers will also have access to relevant entrepreneurship and professional development opportunities.

In this role you will:

• Develop novel silk-based materials and fabrication processes for advanced fibre technologies.
• Plan and deliver experimental research, including materials characterisation and data analysis.
• Contribute to the optimisation of material performance and manufacturing approaches.
• Publish high-quality research and present findings at conferences and project meetings.
• Work collaboratively within an interdisciplinary team spanning the UK and USA. 

About you

We are looking for creative, ambitious researchers who are excited by tackling challenging problems, developing new technologies and working across disciplinary boundaries.
