Fixed-term appointment available for up to 3 years in the first instance

The Mechanics of Materials Division wishes to appoint a Research Assistant to conduct research into the development of novel metal forming process at Imperial College London. 

The Metal Forming and Materials Modelling Group covers a wide range of activities in theoretical, experimental and computational solid mechanics and materials research. The group has made significant contribution in the development of new forming technologies and novel materials modelling methods, recognised by the award of Fellowship of the Royal Academy of Engineering for Professor Jianguo Lin. There are two main research themes within the Group: Metal-Forming Technologies (led by Dr Liliang Wang) and Materials Modelling (led by Dr Daniel Balint).

Within the group, the Metal Forming research area addresses the development of advanced metal forming processes to manufacture light weight structural components with complex shapes and high strengths. The Materials Modelling research area addresses fundamental problems involving the evolution of defects, damage and microstructure, and their effects on macroscopic crystalline material deformation behaviour for a wide range of applications, many of relevance to metal forming industries.

Applicants should have a good (1st class) undergraduate degree (or equivalent experience and/or qualifications) and a good (distinction) MSc degree (or equivalent experience and/or qualifications) in an area pertinent to the research subject, e.g. Electronics or Mechanical Engineering. Work experience in the automotive industry is essential. In addition, you should have a background in mechanical property testing and FE modelling of metal forming process and mechanical design.

Informal e-mail enquiries may be made to Dr Li-Liang Wang at liliang.wang@imperial.ac.uk or +44(0) 20 7594 3648.
