About the Role
The successful candidate will work with a dedicated team, funded by an Airbus-led Innovate UK / Aerospace Technology Institute grant (Next Wing), and interacting closely with a consortium of the aerospace industry and academia. Within Next Wing, our aim is to create processes and routines which allow the generation of SMART models for wing box components and investigate novel design solutions for a wing box of a future environment-friendly aircraft.
The post will involve carrying out research on numerical simulation of structural failure at different scales up to a complete wing box, involvement in project management within multidisciplinary teams and preparing publications in refereed journals and presentations at major conferences. There will be opportunities for close interaction with world-leading academic and industrial project partners. You will be encouraged to use your initiative and creativity to identify research methods suitable for this project and extend your research portfolio.
About You
Candidates should have a PhD (or close to completion) in engineering, physics or material science. The researcher should be able to demonstrate the ability to publish in high quality scientific journals. A strong knowledge of using the ABAQUS simulation software package and experience in undertaking experimental work in the field is required. You need to have good communication skills in both presentation and scientific writing. You need to have the ability to conduct research work both independently and as a member of a team.
