I am looking for a chemical engineer to lead an urgent six-month project on the recovery of nickel and copper from industrial waste streams using a novel calcium silicate material. The work sits within a larger University of Strathclyde programme, funded by Scottish Enterprise, on the clean-up of industrial waste.
The core task is to design, build and commission a stirred-tank reactor demonstrator and test it with an industrial partner on real waste. Funding is already in place to commission the build, so the role takes a working design through to a tested unit rather than stopping at a specification.
What I'm looking for:
- A chemical engineering background, ideally at post-doctoral level, though relevant industrial process experience is highly desirable and equally welcome
- Hands-on stirred-tank reactor design, commissioning and scale-up — CSTR / continuous experience a strong advantage together with solid-liquid separation
- Someone who can move at pace: design, build and test inside six months
The role can start immediately and must complete by June 2027. Based at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow.
