About the Role:We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Research Assistant to support an exciting research project focused on the characterisation and optimisation of a complex multiphase mixing process.

This process, which involves achieving a well-mixed and conditioned slurry, presents significant scientific and engineering challenges due to its complexity and limited understanding in current literature.

Key Responsibilities:

Conduct comprehensive literature reviews under the guidance of experienced Manufacturing Engineers to identify current knowledge gaps and best practices.

Assist in the analysis of experimental trial data using established methodologies developed by the engineering team.

Perform baseline processing and evaluations to investigate the effects of process parameters and impeller geometry on mixing performance.

Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to support experimental planning and data interpretation.

About You:

A background in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, materials science, or a related discipline.

Strong analytical skills and a keen interest in fluid dynamics, multiphase systems, or process engineering.

Experience with data analysis tools

Excellent communication and organisational skills, with the ability to work independently and as part of a team.

What We Offer:

A unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in a real-world industrial context.

Mentorship from experienced professionals in manufacturing and process engineering.

Potential for further academic or professional development based on project outcomes.
