Postdoctoral Research Associate
Salary: £37,889 - £41,510 per annum
Reference: 6070
Location: QM London
Closing date: 12 June 2025
Barocaloric solid-state cooling is a promising new technology that has potential to dramatically reduce the carbon cost of cooling and refrigeration. In an EPSRC-funded collaboration, Dr Anthony Phillips (School of Physical and Chemical Sciences) and Prof Huasheng Wang (School of Engineering and Materials Science) are assembling a team to build a prototype barocaloric cooling device that demonstrates this effect on a laboratory scale, and that can be used to test the operando performance of various barocaloric materials and heat exchange structures. We are looking for a researcher to develop, prepare and test the prototype cooling device for this project.
