    Research Assistant - Swansea, United Kingdom - Swansea University

    Default job background
    Full time, Fixed-Term/Contract
    Description

    As from 1st November 2024, a Research Assistant is required (for a period of 38 months) to conduct research as part of the NEURONE programme, in collaboration with UKAEA, the Materials Processing Institute, Sheffield Forgemasters and the Universities of Birmingham, Oxford, Manchester, Sheffield, Strathclyde and Imperial. NEURONE is a £10m endeavour, funded by the UK Fusion Futures programme, to develop an industrial scale advanced steel over the next 5-years for use in the commercial fusion sector. The consortium represents considerable breadth across the entire technology readiness level (TRL) scale, from atomistic modelling and atom probe tomography at one end, through alloy prototyping and irradiation testing, all the way up to major producers of steel at the other. The diverse expertise within the consortium ensures a comprehensive approach to addressing the significant challenges associated with developing an industrial-scale advanced steel for fusion applications.

    The main purpose of this role is to work with fellow industry and academic partners to achieve this goal through:

    1. Performing an extensive series of mechanical tests (room and high temperature tensile, fracture toughness, creep and fatigue).
    2. Conducting an in depth microstructural analysis of a number of novel steel variants.
    3. Understanding the deformation and failure mechanisms of different alloys through detailed fractography using advanced imaging tools.
    4. Conducting suitable analysis of mechanical data and derive correlations where necessary.
    5. Reporting findings on a regular basis to academic and industrial collaborators.

    Where possible, testing must be conducted according to the best practise described in relevant International standards.

    EQUALITY, DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

    The University is committed to supporting and promoting equality and diversity in all its practices and activities. We aim to establish an inclusive environment and welcome diverse applications from the following protected characteristics: age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race (including colour, nationality, ethnic and national origin), religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation.

    As an inclusive and welcoming workplace, we value people for their skills regardless of their background. Applications are welcome in Welsh and will not be treated less favourably than those submitted in English.
