Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you want to further your career in one of the UKs leading research-intensive Universities?

You will join a collaborative programme with Merck Perfromance Materials Limited, the world’s leading company working in liquid crystals. You will work with a team of scientists from the company along with Prof Helen Gleeson, Prof Gordon Love, Dr Richard Mandle and Dr Mamatha Nagaraj at the University of Leeds.

You will have an experimental PhD degree (or have submitted your thesis before taking up the role) and research experience in Physics and/or Engineering along with significant experience in liquid crystal physics, optics, electro-optics, active and passive device fabrication or related areas.

You will focus on a range of liquid crystal-based technologies and work on the design, fabrication, optimisation and characterisation of liquid crystal devices. In addition to carrying out a series of research projects, you will be an excellent communicator, responsible for day-to-day interactions with the company, writing papers, contributing to patent applications and making presentations. You will travel regularly to the company’s premises in the UK and occasionally to Germany.
