How to Find Hidden Materials Science Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like IOM3, RSC & More

Materials science underpins nearly every advanced technology in the modern world—from semiconductors and aerospace composites to sustainable packaging, medical implants, and energy storage. The UK’s materials sector is vast, multidisciplinary, and constantly evolving. But here’s the catch: many of the best materials science jobs are never publicly advertised. Instead, roles are filled through research partnerships, member-only networks, technical working groups, and specialist communities. If you’re relying solely on job boards, you could be missing out on career-defining opportunities. In this guide, we’ll show you how to access hidden materials science jobs in the UK by using professional bodies like IOM3, Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), Royal Society, IoP, and other specialist organisations. You’ll learn how to use membership directories, CPD events, and technical groups to connect with employers and unlock opportunities before they go public.

How to Get a Better Materials Science Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy can be disorienting—especially in materials science, where many roles are tied to long R&D cycles, research grants, or industrial projects that suddenly change course. But materials scientists are essential to innovation across sectors like aerospace, energy, automotive, defence, and healthcare. If you've recently been made redundant, this guide will help you regain momentum, sharpen your focus, and re-enter the UK materials science job market with clarity and confidence.
