Dear colleagues I would like to advertise an exciting career opportunity for an X-ray spectroscopist at the University of Leeds. Leeds is one of the top 10 research-intensive Universities in the UK. Through our international academic recruitment programme ( http://250greatminds.leeds.ac.uk ) we wish to consolidate our strategic relationship with Diamond Light Source by appointing a University Academic Fellow in Structure-Function Determination in Complex Soft Matter Systems Chemical product and process engineering can now take advantage of structure analysis with a broad range of X-ray techniques that have become available at the UK’s synchrotron radiation source, DIAMOND. The focus of the research is to determine structure information across length scales, ideally in situ under process conditions, and from molecular to macroscopic dimensions, and to combine such information with multi-scale models to generate a seamless understanding of the relationships between microstructure, processing conditions and product performance. The Fellowship is an exciting opportunity for an engineer or physical scientist with an interest in determining structural/performance relationships in complex products, particularly soft matter systems, with synchrotron radiation techniques. Salary: £38,511 to £45,954 Closing Date: Wednesday 30 September 2015 Reference: ENGPE1026 Career Pathway: Successful completion of a 5 year probationary period leading to appointment to Grade 9, Associate Professor.
