Sheffield, United Kingdom University of Sheffield Full time

The Dynamics Research Group at the University of Sheffield is seeking to appoint a highly-motivated Research Associate in Structural Dynamics to carry out a research project on “new machine-learning methods for population-based health monitoring”.
The Research Associate will take a leading role in the development and delivery of their research relating to population-based condition monitoring. In particular they will develop methods for the use of acoustic emissions in machine condition assessment, with a focus on bearings; they will also conduct experimental validation of their research. There will be multiple opportunities to collaborate with research teams and industrial partners within the ROSEHIPS consortium. This will range from basic research activities right through to aspects of commercialisation and exploitation of research results where applicable.
The ROSEHIPS Network provides a UK wide network of excellence employing a team of Research Associates (including this post) and five linked PhD students. Research activities will be complemented by network-wide events including a comprehensive programme of scientific meetings and a smaller number of training events. In addition, consortium members are encouraged to disseminate their research results at leading international conferences, all of which will provide excellent career development opportunities.
Applicants should have, or be about to obtain, a PhD in computer science, engineering, mathematics or a relevant discipline.
This post is fixed-term for three months, with an anticipated start date of 1st July 2023.
We are committed to exploring flexible working opportunities which benefit the individual and University.

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.
