The hiring company is seeking a Materials Scientist to join its expanding research and development team in Oxford. This role sits within a fast-moving, well-funded deep-tech environment and is focused on creating the next generation of nanomaterials for optoelectronic and advanced materials uses. The position is aimed at someone who wants to help move cutting-edge research out of the lab and into scalable technologies with practical impact.<\/p>\n

What you will do<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Develop, synthesise, and improve metal nanoparticles and other functional nanomaterials for advanced applications.<\/li>\n
  • Work on ink development, tuning formulations so that viscosity, stability, and particle distribution are controlled effectively.<\/li>\n
  • Design, refine, and optimise processes for thin-film deposition, coating, and printing.<\/li>\n
  • Use advanced analytical and characterisation methods to assess electrical, optical, and material performance.<\/li>\n
  • Examine how structure influences properties in order to improve performance, reliability, and stability of the materials.<\/li>\n
  • Help turn research outcomes into processes and technologies that can be scaled for real-world use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    What the employer is looking for<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • A PhD in Materials Science, Nanotechnology, Chemical Engineering, Optoelectronics, or a similar field, or equivalent experience gained in industry.<\/li>\n
    • Practical, hands-on experience synthesising metal nanoparticles, nanomaterials, or conductive inks in wet-chemistry environments.<\/li>\n
    • Knowledge of nanoparticle surface chemistry and sintering processes.<\/li>\n
    • Experience with thin-film deposition, coating, or printing techniques.<\/li>\n
    • Familiarity with electrical, optical, and materials characterisation techniques, including tools such as SEM or Raman spectroscopy.<\/li>\n
    • Any background in printed electronics, transparent conductive materials, semiconductor devices, or scaling nanomaterial manufacturing processes would be beneficial.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      What is offered<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • A competitive salary.<\/li>\n
      • A comprehensive benefits package.<\/li>\n
      • Equity participation in the business.<\/li>\n
      • Private medical insurance.<\/li>\n
      • Relocation assistance, where relevant.<\/li>\n
      • Support for training and professional development.<\/li>\n
      • The opportunity to join a rapidly growing company at an early stage of its development.<\/li>\n
      • A collaborative, multidisciplinary team working on sustainable materials technologies with meaningful real-world impact.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
