Role Description

Cranfield Water Sciences welcomes applications from passionate, skilled and committed Engineering, Environmental Science, or Material Science graduates with a PhD in relevant subjects to contribute to the definition of microplastic release from wastewater treatment asset.

About the Role

We are seeking a dedicated Research Fellow to join our dynamic team in addressing the crucial challenge of exploring the generation and release of microplastics in the wastewater asset to minimise the release of these chemicals into the water bodies and enhance the safeguarding of our environment.

You will play a pivotal role in a high-profile project of national relevance aimed at advancing our understanding and management of microplastics generated by plastic components as well as filtration systems present in the wastewater treatment asset. This involves conducting comprehensive investigations into the release of microplastic from a dedicated pilot-scale unit simulating the coarse filtration of wastewater under various operative conditions and the performance of plastic specimens under abrasion conditions to define.

Utilizing state-of-the-art facilities to operate pilot-scale reactor units and collaborating with project partners for microplastic identification, the role encompasses the planning, implementation of experimental tests and the operation of a pilot-scale cloth filtration reactor under relevant conditions and the collection of samples to be analysed for presence of microplastic. The role will also involve the assessment of the performance of plastic specimens during abrasion tests and the definition of a ranking of various polymers together with alternative materials based on abrasion resistance and environmental characteristics. This position is instrumental in guiding the water industry towards effective selection of materials in the wastewater asset as well as the management of processes to minimise the release of microplastic in the environment. Your work will contribute to a national project, inform the selection of management strategies, and optimize treatment processes to mitigate risks related to microplastic. This is an exceptional opportunity for a professional passionate about engineering, environmental science or material science to impact the water sector significantly.

About You

You will be educated to doctoral level (or close to completion) in Engineering, Environmental Science or Material Science and have experience of management research using both qualitative and quantitative methods. You will also have experience of operating pilot scale reactors in relevant environments, ideally for wastewater treatment. With excellent communication skills, you will have expertise in wastewater treatment and a background in environmental or engineered systems would be an advantage. Knowledge of microplastic generation and management and environmental performance assessment would be an advantage. Equivalent industry experience would be considered.
