BeckyB Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Thanks folks! Still bobbing around somewhere near the ceiling at the moment I'm going to be working on oxides for capacitors, thermoelectrics and solid oxide fuel cells, mainly developing new methods to make them in exciting crystal shapes. I should get a lectureship/senior lectureship at the end of it so it's a permanent academic job from here on in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeckyB Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Absolutely- I've got some written into the project so I'll be developing resources for schools and science fairs etc. It's a fun aspect of the job and it's nice to be let out of the lab once in a while!
