The post
It's an exciting and important time for georesources in the South West. Metals are essential components of almost all modern technology. Amongst these are the emerging technologies on which we are depending to tackle the Climate Emergency, including electric motors, batteries, transformers, photovoltaic panels and catalysts.
The principal role of this job will be to provide technical support across the Camborne School of Mines laboratories for industry facing research development and innovation project work within the discipline of mineral processing. This will include the use of analytical equipment and the implementation of experiments for applications in beneficiation and extractive metallurgy. It is linked to a Shared Prosperity Fund project that will enhance the capital equipment available within Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, to support sustainable growth of the georesources sector across the region. The project will comprise a step towards creation of a regional equipment hub, part of the Critical Minerals Centre of Excellence.
The successful candidate will therefore play an important role in supporting the sustainable development of the geo-resources sector in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. Such activity is vitally important for ensuring UK resource security, combatting the Climate Emergency whilst also supporting new job creation and fostering sustainable economic growth.
