Research Fellow in Composite Materials Science

7 days ago


Hatfield, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom University of Hertfordshire Full time
Main Responsibilities

To support the Principal Investigator in achieving project milestones and attending project meetings as required. To physically test the accuracy of sensors, mechanical strength of optical fibres and structural integrity when embedded into structural components. To relate multi-dimensional strains and temperature readings to the quality of manufactured components, with the ability to inform process parameters and through-life monitoring.

Required Skills and Experience

The successful candidate will have experience in composite manufacturing and knowledge of composites, with a fundamental understanding of microstructural features. They will have the ability to numerically model composite processing or composite failure using software (e.g., Abaqus and Ansys). Good IT skills, including the use of MS Office, are essential for this role. The candidate will have research experience in composite damage identification and prediction (e.g., thermoplastic) and a record of scholarly work, such as published work in peer-reviewed composites-related journals. Excellent interpersonal and presentation skills are essential, as well as being flexible and adaptable to workload and team requirements. The candidate will work effectively in a team and be able to demonstrate initiative and the ability to learn new skills.

Qualifications Required

The candidate will be educated with a degree (or equivalent level 6 qualification) or higher qualification in a relevant discipline. They will also have a PhD (or equivalent level 8 qualification) or equivalent experience in composites and materials science. An appointment to this role may require an Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS) certificate.
