Description
We are seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Research Assistant in ‘Mechanoluminescent Materials for Surface Pressure Imaging and Stress Detection’ to join Prof. Jin-Chong Tan’s group (Multifunctional Materials & Composites Laboratory: https://eng.ox.ac.uk/mmclab/) in the Department of Engineering Science at Oxford. The post is funded by the UKRI EPSRC grant and is fixed-term for two years (with potential for a 3rd year extension) and available immediately. The research will focus on luminescent mechano-responsive materials that can display a change in emission properties subject to external mechanical forces. Such mechano-fluoro-chromic materials are useful as pressure-sensitive paints and for non-invasive structural health monitoring. Materials of interests may include aggregation induced emission (AIE) materials and luminescent metal-organic frameworks (LMOFs).
You should hold a PhD/DPhil or be near completion in luminescent materials, engineering of smart optical sensors, pressure sensitive paints, or related subjects. Candidates with prior experience in the development and characterisation of LMOFs, AIE and photochromic materials are encouraged to apply. The applicant must be able to demonstrate a high level of competence in the laboratory.
Informal enquiries may be addressed to Prof. Tan (email: jin-chong.tan@eng.ox.ac.uk) Further information can be found at http://www.eng.ox.ac.uk/jobs/home
Only online applications received before midday on 24th January 2025 can be considered. You will be required to upload a covering letter/supporting statement, including a brief statement describing how past experience and future plans fit with the advertised position, CV and the details of two referees as part of your online application.
The Department holds an Athena Swan Bronze award, highlighting its commitment to promoting women in Science, Engineering and Technology.
