The Associate will support the research team by undertaking research and development to develop a new product, attending and leading project meetings as required. You will handle data collection and analysis and contribute to the design and organisation of the project, as well as work with academic team members on peer-reviewed papers and presentations. You will be expected to disseminate the results and outputs of the project and ensure the collation and writing of the final project report are of a high standard. You will take an active part in the academic life of the School of Physics, Engineering, and Computer Science through participation in seminars and other similar events.
You will be methodical, have good attention to detail, be able to work to deadlines both as a team and independently, and handle sensitive data with strict confidence. It is essential that the successful candidate has experience in at least one of the following areas: fire engineering, thermodynamics / heat transfer / fluid mechanics, structural mechanics, materials engineering, and structural design. It is also crucial for the candidate to possess an understanding of numerical simulation of finite element analysis and thermal-stress analysis. Knowledge and proficiency with software such as Abaqus, ANSYS, and Start CCM are desirable.
An MSc in Civil or Mechanical Engineering is essential; a PhD in Civil or Mechanical Engineering would be desirable.
