1 month ago


Glasgow, United Kingdom University of Strathclyde Full time

**Salary range**: £34,308 - £42,155

**FTE**: 1

**Term**: Fixed (2 years)

**Closing Date**:16 March 2023

The University of Strathclyde in Glasgow possesses a large internationally rated Engineering Faculty with a proud history of successful joint ventures with industrial and enterprise partners. As part of the University’s strategic development the Advanced Forming Research Centre (AFRC) has been established near Glasgow’s International Airport. The AFRC is the embodiment of a £30 million collaborative investment by Industrial, Academic and Government partners seeking to establish a world-leading research facility for forging and forming technologies.

The AFRC is seeking to appoint an experienced Materials Knowledge Exchange (KE) Associate to support the delivery of high value research programmes focused on the characterisations, assessments and modelling of microstructure and mechanical properties in forged or formed components. Recently the Centre has invested significantly in novel forging equipment suitable for large scale investigations and is rapidly developing a multi-disciplinary group that specialises in this area. The KE Associate will also support the delivery of scientific research programmes on materials modelling, simulation of industrial-scale manufacturing processes such as forging (e.g., open-die and closed-die) and forming, and development of analytical tools for processing of materials.

To achieve the above the KE will preferably require some research and/or industrial experience in the following technical areas:

- A good basic knowledge of materials and the way that manufacturing processes can develop or modify material’s microstructure to achieve desired mechanical properties.
- The use of finite element based software (e.g. ABAQUS, DEFORM, QForm or similar) for process simulation (e.g. forging, residual stress prediction), and microstructure modelling
- Techniques of materials characterisation e.g. SEM, EDX, WDS, EBSP, optical microscopy and mechanical testing

To be considered for this role, you will be educated to a minimum of PhD level in an appropriate discipline, or be educated to a minimum of 2:1 Honors degree in addition to significant relevant experience within a relevant industrial environment. The post holder will also have the ability to work autonomously, plan and prioritise own workload with guidance from a team / project leader, and deal with complex problems presented to them by colleagues. Preferably, the individual will have experience of project planning and delivery, as well as excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a proven ability to interact with a range of stakeholders from industry and/or academia. Lastly, the post holder may be required to make a contribution to the administrative activities of the AFRC including membership of relevant committees. You will have an established track record in providing engineering solutions in an industrial context as well as experience of supporting research and development of manufacturing processes. You will have excellent troubleshooting skills, including a methodical approach to solve complex problems and you will have the ability to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
