We are ambitious and have a bold vision of what we want to achieve - shaping ourselves into one of the best universities in the world, which we are achieving through the talents and endeavour of every employee.  

Our culture empowers people to achieve this aim and to collectively, and individually, make a real difference.  

The role

We are looking for an enthusiastic and highly motivated researcher to join ReLiFE (Recovery of Lithium from end-of-LiFE EV batteries), an EPSRC-funded project developing a new bioelectrochemical technology for the selective recovery of lithium from spent lithium-ion batteries. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to research at the interface of bioelectrochemical systems, electrochemical engineering, resource recovery and sustainable battery recycling.

The project aims to translate a laboratory-validated lithium recovery process into a continuous-flow prototype and demonstrate its performance using real battery waste streams. Based within the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering and the School of Biosciences at the University of Surrey, you will lead the experimental programme for the development and testing of the bioelectrochemical lithium recovery system. You will work closely with the academic research team and industrial partners across the battery recycling value chain, providing an opportunity to undertake applied research with a clear pathway towards commercial deployment.

In this role, you will design, build and operate laboratory and continuous-flow bioelectrochemical systems, investigate and optimise key operating parameters affecting lithium recovery, and evaluate process performance and stability using heterogeneous real-world battery waste feedstocks. You will undertake electrochemical and analytical characterisation, quantify lithium recovery and product purity, and contribute to demonstrating the production of high-purity lithium compounds suitable for reuse within the battery value chain. You will also support prototype scale-up and integration, analyse and interpret experimental datasets, and work with the wider project team to generate the technical data required for techno-economic and life-cycle assessment.

You will contribute to project reports, research publications, conference presentations and engagement with industrial partners, and will play an important role in translating the ReLiFE technology from laboratory research towards an industrially relevant prototype and future commercial deployment.

About you

You will hold, or be close to completing, a PhD in Chemical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Biotechnology, Electrochemistry, or a related discipline.

You should have hands-on experimental experience with bioelectrochemical or electrochemical systems, including the design, operation and troubleshooting of laboratory-scale reactors. Experience in lithium recovery, battery recycling, continuous-flow systems, electrochemical characterisation or analytical techniques would be advantageous.

You should be able to work independently, analyse and interpret experimental data, and communicate effectively within a multidisciplinary academic and industrial team.

Fixed term contract upto Sept 2027

We have a part time position available for a qualified veterinary surgeon who has experience in companion animals to join our School as a Lecturer in Veterinary Clinical Practice (LVCP), delivering innovative veterinary education. This is a great opportunity to train and influence the vets of the future and comes with a great benefits package including a generous salary with an additional 10% uplift for MRCVS/FRCVS, 37 days holiday PLUS bank holidays, and an industry leading pension. This is a part time role, working 3 days per week. 

About the role

LVCPs act as clinical and personal tutors to our final year students, supporting their learning and facilitating their transition to new graduates, whilst also supporting practice-based trained preceptors in the delivery of our distributed model of clinical education. 

The distributed model means that you will work to support our students on their rotations at practices across the UK. While students are on placement you will spend a significant amount of time travelling to partner practices to deliver in person support to our students along with time in Guildford to teach students and support examinations. 

About you

This position would suit someone with experience in companion animal practice but additional experience working with other species would be advantageous. We are looking for someone with an intuitive passion for teaching, but prior academic experience is not a prerequisite. We are happy to consider candidates considering a career change into academia. You will have a solid grounding in essential veterinary skills and a pragmatic attitude, able to think on your feet and adapt to the requirements of the role.

Due to the nature of the role and the distribution of our partner network, this post will require a significant amount of travel and as such we will consider applicants based in all locations throughout the country.

Our culture empowers people to achieve this aim and to collectively, and individually, make a real difference.  

The role

We are looking to recruit two Senior Research Associates at the University of Surrey for a new project on formal verification, seL4 security and AI-assisted theorem proving, funded by the Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA): https://agentic-sel4.github.io/

The project, joint with Andrei Popescu at the University of Sheffield and Toby Murray at the University of Melbourne, has two closely connected aims. First, we will develop a formally verified reference monitor on top of seL4 for the secure containment of AI agents, including mechanisms for dynamically controlling agents’ capabilities and information flows. Second, we will investigate the use of modern AI techniques to accelerate large-scale formal verification, including AI proof agents for maintaining, extending and refactoring the seL4 Isabelle/HOL proof base.

The Surrey positions are full-time fixed-term until November 2027. We have substantial funding for access to state-of-the-art AI models and computing infrastructure.

About you

We are interested in candidates with expertise in one or more of interactive theorem proving, formal verification, information-flow security, seL4, neurosymbolic AI, and AI-assisted reasoning. Candidates do not need to cover all these areas: the researchers can focus on different parts of the project according to their expertise.

Particular preference will be given to candidates with strong Isabelle/HOL expertise (or substantial experience with related interactive theorem provers), and to candidates who are available to start as soon as possible. We would also be very interested in hearing from excellent Isabelle researchers who may be at an earlier career stage than would normally be expected for a Senior Researcher position.

There will also be closely related positions at our partner institutions. For opportunities at the University of Sheffield, please contact Andrei Popescu (a.popescu@sheffield.ac.uk); for opportunities at the University of Melbourne, please contact Toby Murray (toby.murray@unimelb.edu.au).
