Research Fellow in Coating Tribology of Electric Vehicles
2 weeks ago
Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have a background in Tribology, Surfaces, Interfaces or Coatings, in particular tribology in electric vehicle transmission systems? Are you interested in developing new skills and working with a large consortium of industrial partners?
We are looking for an enthusiastic researcher with expertise in coating tribology in electric vehicles in the Institute of Functional Surfaces (iFS) to work on the work package related to the Excellence in Conceptual Evolution of Electric Drives (ExCEED) project.
You will lead the experimental investigation of the coating tribology work on the transmission system. You will investigate the compatibility of lubricants and coatings at the lab scale and support the manufacturing of the full-scale component tests with other colleagues and the other project partners. You will also be investigating the failure mechanisms by the advanced surface analyses techniques. You will have the opportunity to collaborate closely with other researchers to develop new learning materials and to disseminate the project findings via publications, presentations and other recognised forms. You will also attend and contribute to organizing regular meetings and the local data management plan.
Excellence in Conceptual Evolution of Electric Drives (ExCEED) is a £19.8 million project, supported by £9.9 million in government funding through Advanced PRO Collaborative R&D competition. ExCEED is focused on developing a next generation EDU 'toolkit'; a modular family of machines, inverters and transmissions for future vehicle platforms. The project is led by JLR and is bringing together a consortium of experts from The Lubrizol Corporation, Newcastle University, Specialised Electrical Machines Design, University of Leeds, University of Nottingham & ZeBeyond Ltd.
We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.
