Hydrogen research
Be part of our developing hydrogen ecosystem, developing production, storage and transport technologies, integrating with regional hydrogen projects to drive the hydrogen economy and market development.
Electrochemical engineering
With a focus on energy systems such as advanced battery technologies, electrochemical synthesis and waste valorisation, and circular economy solutions including recycling of critical materials.
Advanced materials characterisation
Further strengthening our expertise in developing and understanding the behaviour of materials for engineering applications, supporting cutting-edge research in advanced materials characterisation, especially the activities of the Loughborough Materials Characterisation Centre.
Structural design
Integrating AI in structural design, development of intelligent structures and the use of multi-material lightweight structures.
Who we’re looking for
Superstar researchers
Established and emerging research leaders with strong research outputs and funding success.
Exceptional research teams and interdisciplinary groups
Collaborative groups who can come together in a new institutional home.
Top postdoctoral researchers and early-career academics
Talented researchers seeking long-term career investment and stability.
Current opportunities
We are currently recruiting for Senior Lecturers and Lecturers across three focus areas.
