Leeds, United Kingdom University of Leeds Full time

**Research Fellow in Continuum Modelling**:
**Are you an ambitious researcher looking for development of your research profile in an exciting new area of continuum mechanics? Do you want to further your career in one of the UKs leading research-intensive Universities?**

We are looking for a Research Fellow to join our project developing continuum modelling approaches in a new direction of continuum mechanics addressing the fluid dynamics of polycrystalline materials.

The project is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. You will work with the lead Investigator, Dr Sam Pegler, on developing a new continuum approach in an exciting new area in modelling the dynamics of polycrystalline materials using continuum mathematics. The aim is to develop and explore new mathematical models describing the flow and evolution of polycrystalline materials. Such materials are ubiquitous, forming the majority of the rocks and minerals of the Solid Earth, as well as ice, a material fundamental to our natural environment. The role will require formulating a new general modelling framework and solution methods by coupling partial differential equations describing the evolution of the material’s crystal microstructure to those describing its macroscopic viscous flow.

You will have a PhD in Mathematics, Physics, or a related discipline, with a strong background in continuum mechanics, including mathematical and/or numerical simulation approaches in continuum mechanics. Familiarity with non-Newtonian fluid mechanics would be helpful but not required. You will have the ability to conduct independent research and develop a track record of publications in international journals. In addition, you will have good communication and team-working skills.

**What we offer in return**
- 26 days holiday plus approx.16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) - That’s 42 days a year
- Generous pension scheme plus life assurance - the University contributes 21.6% of salary.
- Health and Wellbeing: Discounted staff membership options at The Edge, our state-of-the-art Campus gym, with a pool, sauna, climbing wall, cycle circuit, and sports halls.
- Personal Development: Access to courses run by our Organisational Development & Professional Learning team, and self-development courses including languages, Creative Writing, Wellbeing Therapies and much more.
- Access to on-site childcare, shopping discounts and travel schemes are also available.

And much more
