Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom University of Nottingham Full time

The University of Nottingham is seeking a highly skilled researcher to join our team at the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre in Manufacturing and On-Wing Technology. We are offering a 3-year PhD programme in partnership with the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) to address key challenges in on-platform repair automation.

As an Advanced Mechatronics Researcher, you will be working closely with industrial partners to design, manufacture, and test novel miniaturised robotic end-effectors for welding and repairing tasks in confined and challenging spaces. This research offers significant technological challenges and innovations to improve the quality of mechatronics applications within the nuclear and fusion industries.

We require candidates with:

  • A First or Upper Second Class degree in Mechatronics/Robotics/Mechanical/Computer Science or related scientific discipline.
  • First-rate analytical and numerical skills, with a well-rounded academic background.
  • Demonstrated ability to develop precision Mechatronics systems and algorithms.
  • Ability to develop kinematic and/or dynamic analysis of Mechanical/Robotic systems.
  • Ability to implement control and kinematics with hardware–in–the–loop.
  • Background with relevant packages, such as MATLAB, SolidWorks/Creo, ROS/OpenCV/python, LabVIEW/C languages.
  • A driven, professional, and self-dependent work attitude is essential.

This is an excellent opportunity to work on a novel mechatronics system with strong links to industrial applications and gain key skills and knowledge in preparation for a high-impact, high-technology research or industrial career.

The scholarship on offer comprises a tax-free EPSRC Stipend Level (£18,622 per year), tuition fees paid, and a generous study package.
