The Environment, Science, and Economy Faculty wishes to recruit a Postdoctoral Research Associate or Fellow to participate in the EPSRC funded project “PRICE-SCM (powder amorphisation using shock waves for supplementary cementitious materials production)”, ran in collaboration between the University of Exeter and the UK Central Laser Facility at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (Didcot).

The funded post is available from June 2026 for a duration of 10 months. The successful applicant will support the research activities carried out by Dr Vinai and the project team, involving high-energy laser processing of powders, physical characterisation of processed powders, and assessment of their properties in cementitious systems.

The post will include a significant time spent at the Central Laser Facility premises in Didcot, as well as some time spent at the University of Exeter for the physical and mechanical characterisation of the cementitious systems and the assessment of their environmental profiles.
