**Fixed Term Contract until 31 March 2024, 36.5 hours per week.**

This post will support research into enabling secure Additive Manufacturing (AM) supply chains (SC), in the project ‘Responsive Additive Manufacture to Overcome Natural and Attack-based disruption (RAMONA)’ funded through the EPSRC Manufacturing the Future Theme. Responsive Manufacturing focuses specifically on AM supply chains as part of a responsive manufacturing system, to address the significant security challenges within manufacturing supply chains to ensure greater levels of supply chain resilience for both UK and global manufacturing. RAMONA has the vision of enabling an AM SC that is responsive to emergent changes within the system to maintain production in a distributed SC that is exposed to emergent changes within the system, such as an adversary infiltrating elements of the SC.

To support such rapid reconfiguration of the manufacturing system across the supply network, our vision is to create a practicable methodology for manufacturing systems that can detect a threat and reconfigure themselves rapidly in the presence of an adversary. The research underpins our vision through the development of 'double lock' system, of physical hash on the product and digital hash on component files secured against a distributed ledger technology, that can be scaled across and tailored to different SC configurations, allowing manufacturing to be responsive to disruption and enable greater resilience and agility in UK manufacturing SCs.

This post will focus on developing and enabling the physical hash aspect of this resilient and responsive supply chain, through process and material modifications to encode the manufactured parts with secure and covert physical hashes.

We will provide a great range of benefits which include an attractive pension scheme, 26 days holiday plus bank holidays and Christmas closure, some fantastic savings on a wide range of products and services, and excellent learning and development opportunities.

Interview Date: TBC
