Job Opportunity: Research Associate in Computational Modelling of Plasticity and Fracture of Light A:Job description:Job location: Manchester Job reference: SAE-019320 Job location: Oxford Road, Manchester Closing date: 15/07/2022 income: £33,309 to £40,927 per annum depending on significant practice Job employment Type: Fixed Term Faculty/Organisation: Science and Engineering Division: Department of Materials Hours per week: Full time Contract Duration: From 1 September 2022 until 31 August 2024 School / Directorate: School of Natural Sciences We are seeking for an early career researcher with skills in computational modeling of metal plasticity to join our multidisciplinary research effort to embed materials science into the forming of advanced light alloys and develop a new manufacturing paradigm - LightForm. LightForm is a collaboration between the University of Manchester, Imperial College London and the University of Cambridge, funded via a £4.8M, 5-year EPSRC programme grant. Working in close collaboration with 20 industrial partners, LightForm has a unique research culture located on open, close collaboration between scientists and engineers. The project will exploit the recent developments in advanced characterization to study alloys during forming, and subsequently use this information to develop material models that can then be used to design and optimize novel forming processes and alloy compositions. As an expert in computational plasticity, your function will be to lead the deformation modelling effort, which will be located mainly on full-field crystal plasticity and phase transformations. This will involve the extension of existing codes to improve the modelling of microstructure development during warm deformation of light alloys. As part of leading the plasticity modelling effort, you will be expected to work with a research software engineer to establish a research culture located on quality and reproducibility and tutor PhD students on the software development practices it requires. In addition, you will work closely with researchers developing new experimental techniques for studying microstructural evolution during deformation, and collaborate with them to produce joint, high-impact publications. This is an excellent opportunity for a skilled candidate looking to develop research leadership abilities skills and establish a strong publication record. The work will be strongly multidisciplinary and the prosperous applicant will be able to demonstrate the capability to work in a collaborative multidisciplinary environment, and have track record of publications bringing together computational and experimental work. Although practice in crystal plasticity modelling of light metals, including texture evolution, is desired, exceptionally motivated candidates without background in light metals research will also be considered. Other desirable attributes would be prior practice of studying the deformation of hcp metals (e.g. titanium, magnesium) and a track record in using research computing clusters and high-performance computing. The School/Department is strongly committed to promoting equality and diversity, including the Athena SWAN charter for gender equality in higher education. The School/Department holds a SilverAward which recognises their good practice in relation to gender; including flexible working arrangements, family-friendly policies, and support to allow staff achieve a good work-life balance. We particularly welcome applications from women for this post. All appointment will be made on merit.
