Role Description
We welcome applications for this exciting post from those with relevant knowledge and experience in crystal plasticity.
About the Role
You will be part of a team to deliver multiscale modelling predictions on several research projects. The work aims to develop and implement crystal plasticity models to inform engineering plastic deformation models, with particular emphasis on their parameterisation. You will join a unique research environment that will allow you to perform leading research in mesoscale mechanics and the broad area of modelling metallic materials with physics-based models. You will be part of a multidisciplinary team, interacting with various researchers and working with a range of modelling techniques and experiments. You will also have opportunities for personal development and liaise with other universities and industries.
You will report to Dr Castelluccio, who leads the mesoscale group and focuses on multiscale modelling and experiments.
About You
You will be educated to doctoral level (or close to completion) in the areas of solid mechanics or materials science, with relevant experience in developing and performing crystal plasticity simulations and microstructure-sensitive modelling in finite element software such as Abaqus or Ansys. With a developing track record of publishing in high quality journals, you will also have excellent and demonstrable coding skills. Excellent communication, planning and organising and problem-solving skills are also essential in this role. Experience with modelling high strain rate materials and a background in uncertainty quantification are also desirable.
