Description

Applications are invited for an exciting opportunity to advance understanding and simulation of alloys for performance in extreme conditions of strain rate, temperature, and environment.

This prestigious DSTL Research Fellowship position will involve developing a research programme that will focus on developing tools to enable digital design, evaluation, and testing of a range of alloys destined for performance in demanding environments within the defence sector.

This will be addressed by developing multi-scale analysis methods, combined with simulations, to study in-depth the relationships between material structure across length scales and performance in-service.

The Research Fellow will work closely with Professor Joseph Robson, RAEng/DSTL Professor in Alloys for Extreme Environments in the Department of Materials, to establish a DSTL 'Centre of Excellence' in metallurgy for extreme environments, while developing their own research interests.

A track record of research in crystal plasticity, or multi-scale modelling applied to metals and alloys is strongly desirable. The post will involve working closely with DSTL and other project partners both in the UK and overseas.

The appointment will be available from January 2024 to 31st August 2026.

Fantastic market leading Pension scheme
Excellent employee health and wellbeing services including an Employee Assistance Programme
