The School of Chemistry at the University of Edinburgh is looking for an exceptional researcher to develop a new method to measure X-ray diffraction during rapid cooling to liquid helium temperatures, and use this to discover new metastable materials with negative thermal expansion. You will work in collaboration with Diamond Light Source, applying expertise across chemistry, physics and engineering.
  
The partner universities of Birmingham and Warwick have been successful in securing a significant financial award from the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) to establish the Science City Interdisciplinary Alliance (SCIRA). This exciting new large-scale initiative aims to encourage an increase in internationally leading research in the West Midlands that will drive a vibrant knowledge-led economy and deliver new models of partnership between universities and the industrial base.

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. They are looking for a researcher to develop, prepare and test the prototype cooling device for this project.
