PhD Researcher in Sustainable Composites Manufacturing

4 weeks ago


Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom University of Nottingham Full time

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 from September 2024

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join our Centre for Doctoral Training in Composite Materials, Sustainability and Manufacture. 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.

The student will follow a taught programme of exciting composite-specific modules at the University of Bristol, as part of a large national cohort. The project will involve an extensive experimental programme supported by appropriate analytical or numerical modelling.

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 successful 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 title: Characterisation of manufacturing defects and mitigation strategies

This project will focus on characterising and ultimately predicting the effect that manufacturing defects have on structural performance. A combination of statistical tools and advanced machine learning techniques will be used to help develop mitigation strategies to avoid over-conservative design.
