PhD Researcher: Sustainable Composites and Manufacturing
7 days ago
Award: PhD
Duration: 4 years
Department: Mechanical, Materials and Manufacturing Engineering
Funding: A tax-free enhanced stipend of £24,917 per annum and tuition fees for four years, subject to satisfactory research progress.
Eligibility: Funding is available for Home students (permanent UK residency)
Start: Flexible
We are seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join our Centre for Doctoral Training in Sustainable Composites Manufacturing at the University of Nottingham. The successful candidate will undertake an industrially focused project, conducting cutting-edge research to address the key challenges in achieving sustainable manufacture of fibre-reinforced polymer composites.
Candidate Profile:
We are looking for a candidate with a minimum 2:1 masters degree in a relevant engineering or physical science discipline. Applicants without a masters qualification may be considered on an exceptional basis, providing they hold a first-class undergraduate degree.
The candidate will be expected to work independently, including extensive laboratory work and some numerical modelling. Previous knowledge of composites and composites manufacturing will be beneficial, along with experience in finite element analysis. The ability to communicate confidently and clearly with external stakeholders is essential.
Project Overview:
The project aims to find an effective way to repurpose in-process waste from composites manufacturing into new composite components. This will involve exploring ways to maximise the performance of discontinuous fibre composites to provide strengths comparable to those expected from virgin continuous fibre reinforcement.
Key Responsibilities:
- Conduct cutting-edge research to address the key challenges in achieving sustainable manufacture of fibre-reinforced polymer composites
- Work with leading academics and industrial partners to develop innovative solutions
- Receive extensive doctoral training and support
- Have access to world-leading facilities and resources
What We Offer:
The successful candidate will join the University of Nottingham's Composites Research Group, a leading centre for research and innovation in composite materials and manufacturing. We offer a stimulating and supportive research environment, with opportunities for professional development and collaboration with industry partners.
