Assistant Professor in Modelling and Simulation of Polymer Composites (104886-1124)

For informal enquiries, please contact Ton Peijs (Professor of Polymer Processes) at T.Peijs@warwick.ac.uk. 

WMG is inviting applications for an Assistant Professorship in Modelling and Simulation of Polymer Composites. WMG is an academic department at the University of Warwick and is the leading international role model for successful collaboration between academia and the public and private sectors, driving innovation in science, technology and engineering.

WMG is looking to appoint an assistant professor with the capacity to further strengthen our research in materials & manufacturing. We are seeking a skilled candidate to develop innovative research programs focused on understanding, predicting, and optimizing the mechanical behaviour of polymer composites and related products. This role involves investigating how factors such as microstructure, processing history, and usage conditions influence performance, utilizing a multidisciplinary approach that integrates experimental, theoretical, and computational methods. A research theme of particular priority for this assistant professorship is the development and implementation of robust predictive tools for manufacturing processes and associated properties of discontinuous fibre composites in high-volume applications such as the automotive industry.

We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so.
