Research Fellow (108638-0124)

Duration: FTC until 31 January 2027 About the Role We are seeking to appoint a Research Fellow to drive a project investigating ferroelectric two-dimensional materials at the atomic level. You will be joining the Microscopy Group in the Department of Physics at the University of Warwick, where you will be part of a wider team of researchers who are all working to diagnose the atomic level processes and interactions that govern device materials. You will have the opportunity to conduct exciting research with our transmission electron microscopy (TEM) suite, using the latest hardware to capture previously unseen processes as they occur in these under-explored ferroelectric materials. Please note that due to the nature of this role and business operation requirements, the successful applicant will be required to work the majority of their time on campus. About You We are looking for someone who has a PhD in Physics, Materials Science, or a related discipline, and has a proven track record of undertaking experimental research in two-dimensional materials. Any experience you may have in device microfabrication, transmission electron microscopy, or ferroelectric materials would also be valuable but not essential. For further information regarding the skills required for this role please see the personal specification section of the attached job description. If you are near submission or have recently submitted your PhD but have not yet had it conferred, any offers of employment will be made as Research Assistant at the top of level 5 of the University grade structure. Upon receipt of evidence of the successful award of your PhD, you will be promoted to Research Fellow on the first point of level 6 of the University grade structure.  Full details of the duties and selection criteria for this role can be found in the vacancy advert on the University of Warwick's jobs pages.
