The post

The College wishes to recruit a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to participate in the NERC consortium project LiFT: Lithium for Future Technology. This NERC funded post is available 1 May 2021 to 30 April 2023. This project aims to better understand the Earth system processes that concentrate lithium into mineral deposits, from which lithium can be mined in an economically feasible and an environmentally responsible manner. A significant part of the project is to understand the role that microbes play in concentrating lithium, and how more sustainable methods of lithium extraction can be achieved using microbial processes.
