Research Fellow in Aerosol Deposition

Are you an enthusiastic and motivated researcher with an interest in aerosol generation or sampling? Would you like to work with an industrial partner to generate proof-of-concept, and help to bring an aerosol sampler to market? Are you interested in the opportunity to build cross-disciplinary research collaborations? 

At the School of Civil Engineering, we pride ourselves on our renowned research in indoor air quality and airborne infection control. Our expertise includes conducting (bio)aerosol chamber studies to investigate key factors affecting infection transmission and exploring innovative technologies to reduce these risks. In collaboration with Airsentry Ltd., we are advancing the development of a novel indoor air (bio)aerosol collector that requires rigorous laboratory testing to achieve market readiness.

You will play a key role in validating the functionality of the devices through nebulisation and deposition experiments in the environmental chamber in the School of Civil Engineering. You will collaborate closely with a dedicated team of postdocs and technicians, gaining valuable experience across diverse research activities and enhancing your expertise in the field.

You will hold a PhD (or have submitted your thesis before taking up the role) in a relevant engineering or science discipline, with strong experience of carrying out experimental aerosol research.

This role will be based at the university of Leeds campus and there is scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.
