About Us
UCL has made its largest expansion since its founding by opening UCL East on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in East London. This new campus is dedicated to disruptive thinking and discovery across disciplines, addressing the biggest challenges for future living. Situated in Newham-one of the UK's most socially diverse areas-we are committed to ensuring our staff recruitment reflects this diversity.
UCL East is more than a conventional university campus. It brings together research and education, theory and practice, across experiments, arts, society, and technology. It represents a future-focused approach, delivering new research, technology, and innovation alongside undergraduate and postgraduate programmes for up to 4,000 students.
About the Role
This role is based within the Advanced Propulsion Lab (APL) in the Marshgate Building at UCL East, a cross-faculty hub with 800m² of collaborative research space. The APL brings together researchers from Chemical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering, with Chemical Engineering as the lead partner for this post.
As Battery Research Technician, you will lead the operation of our battery manufacturing facilities, including the dry room and gloveboxes, and provide specialist technical support to researchers and students. You will manage and maintain advanced equipment, ensure compliance with health and safety standards, and contribute to the installation and commissioning of new instruments. Training users, developing operating procedures, and supporting collaborative projects across UCL East and Bloomsbury will also be part of your role.
About You
You will have a degree in chemical engineering, chemistry, or a related field, with experience in chemical or electrochemical laboratories and supporting research environments. Strong technical expertise in operating and maintaining electrochemical and materials lab equipment is essential, along with skills in fault diagnosis, repair, and safe handling of instruments. You should be confident using hand tools, learning new techniques, and committed to high safety standards. Excellent organisational and communication skills, and the ability to work independently and collaboratively, are key.
Experience with dry room and glovebox environments, vacuum systems, compressed gases, and hazardous materials would be an advantage, as would familiarity with advanced electrochemical testing and analytical methods.
Why Join Us?
This is an opportunity to work in a world-leading department ranked among the top 25 globally in Chemical Engineering. You will be part of cutting-edge research facilities at UCL East, contributing to the development of sustainable energy solutions in an inclusive and innovative environment.
