We have an exciting opportunity in the Materials Science and Engineering department for someone to join the Multiscale Materials Informatics and Innovation (M2i2) group.

Experience in numerical methods is essential as well as in the implementation of constitutive models within commercial finite element schemes. You are expected to work closely with academic and industrial partners during the project.

You will have a PhD (or be close to completion) in metallurgy, manufacturing, and process modelling.

We’re one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK. The University’s Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and professional development.

We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
