The Role
Applications are invited for the position of Research Associate to work on an innovative research project focused on the compatibility of feedstocks for pyrolysis, with particular emphasis on poultry waste as a sustainable energy resource. The role will involve experimental investigation, feedstock characterisation and performance assessment to determine energy potential, product yields and environmental impacts. In addition, the Research Associate will play a key role in the design and development of pelletiser and pyrolysis systems, supporting optimisation of system efficiency, scalability and operational performance.
The position offers an excellent opportunity to engage in applied research at the intersection of waste management, system design and process engineering, contributing to sustainable energy solutions and resource recovery.
This post is fixed term for 10 months as funding is only available for this amount of time.
The post-holder will be employed as part of a research team led by Prof. Tony Roskilly ( ). Whilst this means that the post-holder will not be carrying out independent research in his/her own right, the expectation is that they will contribute to the advancement of the project, through the development of their own research ideas/adaptation and development of research protocols.
Successful applicants will, ideally, be in post by 06/02/2026 with an end-date of 30/11/2026.
