This post is an exciting opportunity for a Post Graduate, or Post-Doctoral Researcher (or equivalent demonstrable industry / research experience) to work as the Research & Development (R&D) Project Lead, facilitating a novel collaborative project, between the Centre for Circular Design at Chelsea College of Arts (UAL) and Blackhorse Lane Ateliers.
The principal aim of the project is to develop R&D around sustainable denim-washing / finishing processes and product development through the set-up of the first state-of-the art, sustainable denim-washing & finishing laboratory in London.
This is a key role for the project and requires an experienced researcher with appropriate industry experience in fashion and/or textiles design, and/or textiles production or engineering, with an interest or experience in sustainable textiles finishing techniques and applied collaborative research. The role also requires excellent organisational and project management skills.
