Research Associate: Sustainable Additive Materials

2 weeks ago


Manchester, United Kingdom The University of Manchester Full time

The University of Manchester is a partner in a £2M EPSRC grant entitled ‘Sustainable Additive Manufacturing (SAM)’, a multidisciplinary project aimed at providing the enabling science and process technology that will allow industry to build titanium high-deposition-rate additively manufactured components using recycled machining swarf as feedstock. The SAM project is interdisciplinary, combining world-leading expertise in process development, simulation, metallurgy and microstructural development, as well as environmental impact assessment.

As part of this project, we are seeking a post-doctoral research associate (PDRA) with expertise in materials characterisation and a background in additive manufacturing (AM). This post will involve using the state-of-the-art electron microscopy and other characterisation facilities available at the University of Manchester to study microstructure-property relationships in the recycled-Ti AM components, linking the effects of defects, chemical contamination, and heterogeneous grain structures on material performance. The PDRA will work as part of a multidisciplinary research team with partners at Cranfield University.
