Job description
Wolfson School of Mechanical Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering
Full or Part Time, Fixed term for 12 months
This vacancy is being readvertised and previous applicants need not reapply
Join us and be part of a vibrant community at Loughborough University.
Here’s more about the role and what we’re looking for
The project entails the inspection and analysis of engineered porous structures via computed tomography. These engineered structures are stochastic and lattices. The materials range include polymers and metals.
The role will involve establishing the optimum operating set-ups/parameters (SOPs) of micro-computed tomography equipment to acquire quality 3D image data sets. These data sets will then be re-constructed into 3D models to allow the validation, inspection and study of the scanned artefacts to be used in simulations and/or inform the generation of digital twin models for manufacturing processes.
Key Requirements
The candidate needs to have experience in:
1. Image processing and/or processing of MicroCT/CT or x-ray data.
2. Use of analytical equipment in a laboratory environment ( x-ray, MicroCT, image processing, microscopy).
3. Experience working with computational modelling tools to visualise and process acquired data sets.
4. Experience of acquiring, curating and analysing data derived from analytical techniques.
5. Demonstrate excellent communication and interpersonal skills
6. Have a PhD degree (or close to completion) in a related subject or equivalent experience
