About Morgan Advanced Materials

Morgan Advanced Materials is a world leader in advanced materials development and production. We produce a wide range of specialist, high specification materials that have extraordinary attributes and properties. Despite the complexity of our technologies, our focus is simple – we supply innovative, differentiated products made from advanced materials which enable our customers’ products to perform more efficiently, more reliably and for longer. Material science is pivotal to our Company’s success as it is a key constituent to developing our distinctive competencies that differentiate our business from the competition. The Structural Ceramics Global Centre of Excellence has been established to better serve our global customers by developing new, differentiated materials technologies for structural ceramics applications. The Centre of Excellence will take the lead in innovating new formulations and processes, serve as a hub for academic collaboration on structural ceramics with key university faculties worldwide, and act as a focal point for R&D with raw material suppliers. It will allow Morgan to focus on both idea generation and execution in one integrated facility, with the ultimate aim of maximising the performance of our customers’ applications and processes. This role is specifically addressing our development activities in the oxide and non-oxide arena. This supports a wide spectrum of Morgan’s products and processes and hence our primary focus is a candidate with a solid grounding in ceramics science. We may consider, and certainly if we should raise a second position, expertise derived from adjacent areas for example powder processing (pharmaceutical, food, paint), surface science, chemistry, colloidal chemistry and rheology. Principal Objectives Provide the key materials science expertise into development programmes to enhance material, process or product performance Support the definition and planning of technology development programmes to achieve success. To design, organise and carry out material development, production and processing trials at laboratory, pilot and production scales. Define, plan, direct and supervise the day to day activities of technicians supporting projects To assess, analyse and interpret development results, adapting and iterating project activities to achieve the desired outcomes within an optimised timescale. Ensure high standards of operational management including measurement control and data recording. Where necessary to develop new or improved development or testing methods. To apply existing knowledge of materials and processes so as to maximise benefits to the business through increased sales revenue and lower operating costs. To develop quicker and more efficient routes and processes for materials development To identify, quantify and communicate improvement opportunities relating to materials science and manufacture. Support with recruitment for technical employees and building links with technology contacts both within and external to the Morgan portfolio.
