Materials Scientist for Ballistic Impact Research

2 months ago


Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom University of Nottingham Full time

Project Overview

The University of Nottingham is seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join a collaborative research project with the University of Oxford. The project aims to develop material models for simulating ballistic events and understanding the deformation and failure behavior of amorphous polymers.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and implement a polymer constitutive model in finite element software
  • Validate the material model using experimental data from project partners in Oxford
  • Design and conduct experiments to explore the effects of residual stresses and thermal and surface treatments on polymer failure

Requirements

  • First-class honours degree in Engineering, Physics, or Materials Science
  • Excellent written and spoken communication skills in English
  • Interest in properties of polymers under dynamic loading
  • Experience with finite element codes, preferably Abaqus
  • Ability to program, preferably in Matlab

What We Offer

  • Fully funded PhD studentship with fees and stipend covered
  • Opportunity to work with a collaborative research team and contribute to cutting-edge research
  • Access to state-of-the-art research facilities and equipment

About the University

The University of Nottingham is a supportive and inclusive community that values diversity and promotes equality. We are committed to advancing women's careers in Engineering and have been recognized for our efforts with an Athena SWAN Gold Award.
