University of Bristol - School of Physiology, Pharmacology and Neuroscience
Research Associate/ Senior Research Associate in Composites Process Modelling
University of Bristol - School of Physiology, Pharmacology and Neuroscience, Bristol, Connecticut, us, 06010
Research Associate / Senior Research Associate in Composites Process Modelling
Within the Bristol Composites Institute at the University of Bristol there is an exciting opportunity to join our world‑leading team in the modelling of composite structures’ manufacturing processes.
What will you be doing?
High‑quality numerical analysis is a crucial part of understanding and designing the manufacture of composite structures for the production of high quality components. The role holder will develop and deploy numerical tools for the prediction of composite forming processes, particularly focusing on novel material configurations such as short‑fibre pre‑pregs. You will work in a team of researchers that includes experimentalists who generate data for material characterisation and model validation as well as Research Software Engineers for code development support. Research will include the creation of custom written codes and the use of commercial finite element software and user subroutines that will deliver novel solutions for virtual manufacturing methods.
You should apply if
MEng in Engineering/Materials Science or closely related discipline and ideally a PhD in Engineering/Materials Science.
Good experience of finite element analysis techniques, programming (C++/FORTRAN and Python) and composites manufacturing and production processes.
Appointment will be made for 12 months in the first instance.
