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.

You’ll learn how to use membership directories, CPD events, and technical groups to connect with employers and unlock opportunities before they go public.
