Our group strives to deliver great Soft Matter and Polymer Science and we are looking to recruit people who share our ambition. We are committed to creating a positive and inclusive research environment. We want to work with motivated, hard-working people with a variety of skills and backgrounds but, above everything, we are looking for good people and team players:
“If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together.”
Prospective Students:
We have an open studentship as part of the 2026/27 Digital and Automated Materials Chemistry CDT on “Discovering Design Rules in Product Formulation using Automated Rheo-Dialysis and Scattering”
We will be advertising another studentship in 2026/27 for a collaborative project with Unilever. Official advert TBC.
Informal enquiries always welcomed. We can host self-funded students who hold independent funding, e.g national governments or industrial sponsorship. Please do reach out.
Prospective Postdocs & Fellows:
We have no open PDRA positions but anticipate a position in microgel rheology, extrusion-based 3D printing and bioprinting to open in late 26/27 or early 2027.
We welcome enquiries from national and international independent fellows, postdoctoral researchers, and visiting researchers who hold, or are seeking, their own funding, and we are happy to support hosting and mentoring of aligned research projects.
