The Postdoctoral Fellow will use engineered proteins for the synthesis and characterisation of rare‐earth element nanoparticles for magnetic device applications. The Post‐doctoral Fellow will work within a highly collaborative and multidisciplinary team that consists of protein engineers, materials scientists, and physicists to understand how biotic/abiotic interactions can be manipulated to control rare‐earth element material structures and subsequent magnetic properties.
The project will use proteins as scaffolds to guide the biomineralisation of rare‐earth elements into defined nanoparticles and subsequently use a range of biochemical, spectroscopic, microscopic, and materials characterisation techniques to determine the structure and properties of the resulting materials. Experience with nanoparticle synthesis and materials characterisation techniques such as electron microscopy, elemental analysis, diffraction, or surface/spectroscopic characterisation will be advantageous.
Specific Responsibilities Contribute independently or as a team member in collaborative research with a focus to enhance the quality of research outcomes in the discipline area.
Conduct research to use protein nanostructures as templates for rare‐earth element biomineralisation.
Contribute intellectual input and creative ideas for research directions.
Undertake discipline‐appropriate research activities, e.g. surveys, literature reviews, data gathering and/or recording of results using appropriate
