Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in mechanics of sustainable materials for zero emission architecture.
The post is available initially for a fixed-term duration of 2 years.
This is a 2 year research project integrated in a large EU collaboration “ZEBAI: Innovative methodologies for the design of Zero-Emission and cost-effective Buildings enhanced by Artificial Intelligence”, an ambitious integrative project in which a broad range of interdisciplinary teams collaborate in defining a novel methodology enhanced by AI to design and construct zero-emission buildings (ZEB). ZEBAI addresses the challenge of achieve ZEB from the initial phases of the building design, and tests four representative demonstrators (located in Ukraine, Spain, United Kingdom, and Netherlands).
The holder of this post will lead the mechanical modelling and characterisation of construction materials strand of ZEBAI, bridging Sonia Contera’s lab (Oxford Physics) and Antoine Jerusalem’s group (Oxford Engineering Science).
This is a good opportunity to do applied research and potentially generate intellectual property with high impact, in collaboration with industry in an area of great academic and industrial expansion both in academia and in industry. The postdoc will be encouraged to liaise with industry. A mentorship programme is available to the postholder, with a strong emphasis on career progression and professional development.
The experimental part of the work will have technical support; training will be provided by the host labs.
The post-holder will have the opportunity to teach.
Applicants should hold a PhD, or be close to completion in physics, mechanical engineering or a related field and have a strong background in numerical modelling of materials.
Previous experience in the field of mechanical properties of materials will be an advantage.
Please direct enquiries about the role to Sonia Contera.
