Job Description:
Job Reference Number: UOS011991
Job Title: Research Associate – Self Healing Alloys for Performance Engineering (SHAPE)
Contract Type: Fixed Term until 31 August 2018
Working Pattern: Full-time
Faculty: Faculty of Engineering
Department: Department of Materials Science and Engineering
Salary: Grade 7: £29,552 - £37,394 per annum.
Closing Date: 24th November 2015
Summary:
The Department of Materials Science and Engineering is one of the national leaders in the field: it was rated in the top 5 in the latest Research Assessment Exercise (2014) when accounting for profile and volume. The department currently has 40 academic staff including 17 Professors, 6 Readers, 9 Senior Lecturers and 8 Lecturers. They receive excellent support from 21 technical and 25 administrative staff.
There are currently 58 postdoctoral research staff, 222 research students, 95 MSc students and 213 students taking taught MEng and BEng degree programmes. The Department’s teaching is underpinned by world-leading research, and facilitated by state-of-the-art facilities. Further details about the Department can be accessed via the Departmental web link: www.shef.ac.uk/materials.
We are seeking to appoint a Research Associate to work on a project supported by ERDF and Innovate UK via the Aerospace Technology Institute and led by our industrial partner Ilika. The Research Associate will be required to perform fundamental basic research on novel self-healing alloying systems for use in aerostructures and components: develop processing methodologies for larger scale manufacture (both as materials and as engineered objects via Additive Manufacturing technologies): perform quantitative characterisation of resulting materials and components; formulate novel bulk material assessment methods for testing and in-situ characterization and contribute towards the understanding of variability of alloys and components, across all aspects of the project.
DESIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
Applicants should have a good honours degree and a PhD (or equivalent experience) in a relevant subject area (for example in materials science, engineering or physical science or any other relevant discipline). They should also have experience in the manufacture of complex alloys using experimental techniques, preferably with a knowledge of alloy design from first principles and with experience in additive manufacture with metals.
