Do you have an excellent research track record with the vision and drive to tackle new challenges in one or more of the following areas: e-textiles, composites or advanced materials? Are you passionate about delivering world leading research and an exceptional student experience? 

You will join the Leeds Institute of Textiles and Colour (LITAC), a collaborative, multi-disciplinary research institute addressing global challenges in textile industries through research and innovation, as well as teaching. Development of innovative science and technology, materials, methods and processes to enable sustainable development is key to our mission.   

As a senior member of the LITAC team, you will support the leadership of a high growth research area, and ensure plans are in place to support future objectives. You will join an experienced, diverse and inter-disciplinary group of researchers, with extensive academic and industry collaborations, and be actively involved in delivering high quality research. This includes producing high quality publications and contributing to the Research Excellence Framework (REF). The LITAC team is involved in collaborative research across the campus with researchers  in science, engineering, design and other disciplines.  

You will have a PhD in a science, engineering, or related discipline. You will also have an established track record of research output (commensurate with the level of the post), as well as a successful record of externally-won research grant success. You will provide a clear indication of your ability to achieve internationally recognised standards of excellence.
