From next-generation batteries and biodegradable plastics to semiconductors and smart composites, materials science sits at the core of UK innovation. As we move into 2026, demand for skilled materials scientists is growing rapidly across sectors including aerospace, electronics, energy storage, biomedical engineering, and sustainable manufacturing. Welcome to the Materials Science Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your annual guide to the software, laboratory tools, modelling platforms, and practical skills most in demand for materials science roles in the UK. Whether you’re in R&D, failure analysis, manufacturing, or academic research, this radar helps you stay relevant in a competitive and evolving field.

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.
