More details about our facilities can be found: http://www.uclan.ac.uk/research/explore/groups/centre_for_fire_and_hazard_science.php
The closing date has been extended to 1/05/2015 for all posts below.
Lecturer in Fire Toxicity & Analytical Chemistry
Salary ￡34,233 - ￡39,685
This is a one-off opportunity to join the world's leading group in fire
toxicity. Staff within UCLan's Centre for Fire and Hazards Science are
recognised as being world leading researchers in the area of the toxicity of
fire effluents, and the development of fire-safe materials.
We are seeking an outstanding, dynamic and enthusiastic scientist to develop
their own research in this important area. The post will be approximately 50%
teaching and related administration, and 50% research. The successful
candidate will be expected to start generating their own research income
within two year years. We welcome applications from high flying individuals
with expertise in at least one of the following areas: analytical chemistry,
toxicology, fire, materials science, or polymer science.
The post is initially for 2 years, with the anticipation that this will be
extended based on the generation of sufficient external income to sustain
the post.
The main functions of the post are:
* Teaching areas of fire science, toxicology, general or analytical
chemistry and particularly analytical instrumentation.
* Providing support for instrumental analysis, through method development,
and overseeing the small instrument (LC-MS, GC-MS, FTIR gas phase, HPLC,
HPIC etc) suite.
* Supporting existing research projects (PhD student supervision, management
of laboratory facilities, training etc.).
* Undertaking research contributing to the Centre for Fire and Hazards
Science.
The successful candidate will be educated with a PhD in chemistry, fire
science or engineering or have equivalent experience and have research
experience in the area of chemistry, fire or toxicity. A proven track record
of publications in relevant high quality journals, good communication skills
and the ability to liaise effectively and professionally with external
institutions and colleagues are essential for this position.
Informal enquiries should be made to Dr Anna Stec aastec@uclan.ac.uk. For

Research Associate in Fire Toxicity
Salary ￡28,695 - ￡33,242
Inhalation of toxic gases is the major cause of death in fires, and the
safety of building occupants in a fire is dependent on preventing the build-
up of lethal concentrations of toxic gases within the time required to
escape. In addition, fire effluents cause significant pollution often
releasing cocktails of carcinogenic, mutagenic and endocrine disrupting
chemicals into the environment - initially resulting in potential exposure
of fire fighters and other emergency rescue and clean-up workers.
A scientist/analytical chemist/engineer is required to develop their own
research and to support the UK's leading fire chemistry and toxicity
research group. With research projects in fire retardancy, fire toxicity,
fire detection and other aspects of fire science, we will be consolidating
our strengths and broadening them to quantify the range of hazards from fire
effluents, and use this knowledge to develop new fire-safe materials and
products.
Based in our world-class laboratory, equipped with both standard items of
fire test equipment, and research specific facilities, you will play a
leading role in the analysis of fire effluents, both from samples generated
in the laboratory, those collected at our large-scale experimental facility
at Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service's Training Centre at Washington Hall,
and those collected from real fire scenes and other large scale fire tests.
As a Research Associate you will have full access to the University's
analytical laboratories, as well as dedicated instruments in the fire
laboratories. You will use a number of experimental procedures for the
controlled generation of combustion products (the steady state tube furnace,
the smoke density chamber, Large Instrumented Fire Enclosure etc.). For each
method, analysis of fire effluents will include asphyxiants and irritants,
smoke, and particulates. This involves use and interpretation of gas phase
FTIR, use of sorption tubes and GC-MS, on-line electrochemical, NDIR, and
paramagnetic analysers, HPIC and wet chemical analysis.
The successful candidate will be educated with a PhD and have research
experience in the relevant area of Chemistry, Fire Science or Engineering. A
proven track record of refereed scientific publications in relevant journals,
excellent communication skills and the ability to publish research papers
are essential for this position.
The post is initially funded for two years. The successful candidate will
work alongside Dr Stec and Prof Hull developing fire safe materials. In
addition, you will be supported in developing your own research, industrial
liaison and projects, and submission of funding proposals, in order to
ensure the continuity of their post with external funding.
Informal enquiries should be made to Dr Anna Stec aastec@uclan.ac.uk. For

Research Associate in Fire Chemistry
Salary ￡28,695 - ￡33,242
Fire retardants are a $5 billion dollar per year business! Knowledge of the
different ways fire retardants reduce flammability is crucial to the
successful formulation of plastic materials. The use of some flame
retardants has been banned because they are persistent, bioaccumulative and
toxic (PBT). This has led to the search for other, benign methods for
reducing plastics' flammability.
An enthusiastic and highly motivated team player is required to add a new
dimension to our portfolio of fire research, our successful projects span
the development of fire safe materials, incorporation of fire retardants and
structural modification, fire detection, fire investigation, fire effluent
toxicity, through to fire safety engineering and the development of models
and computer codes to predict and interpret fire behaviour.
Experience in a relevant area would be considered. This includes development
and testing fire safe fire retarded/composite materials; fire investigation;
scale-up of fire behaviour, development of new fire retardant materials, new
approaches to flammability assessment, scale up of fire behaviour; data
analysis and modelling of the large scale test programme; or fire modelling

PhD Studentship in Fire Toxicity
An exciting opportunity exists to investigate the toxicity of products from
burning materials. Fire toxicity increases exponentially with fire growth –
a small fire produces a low yield of toxic products, but as it grows it
becomes oxygen depleted, produces 10-50 times greater yield of the major
toxicants carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide, as well as hydrocarbon
irritants and minor toxicants. The work will use the steady state tube
furnace ISO 19700 and on-line analytical instrumentation, including gas
phase FTIR. Data from large scale fires will be correlated with these
controlled bench-scale tests.
This project attracts a tax free bursary payment of ￡13 863 p.a. for 3
years, and include tuition fees for UK and EU students. For further
information please write directly to trhull@uclan.ac.uk .
