An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Department of Mechanical Engineering, working with Prof. Richard Butler and Dr Andy Rhead on next-generation technologies for composite aerostructures. 

Following decades of relative stability, the aerospace sector is open to disruption through the combination of environmental imperatives and ageing aircraft fleets. The EPSRC Prosperity Partnership ZENITH (Zero Emission: the Next-generation of Integrated Technologies for Hydrogen), between GKN Aerospace and the ºÚÁÏÍø³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ, aims to position the UK as a leader in the field in emerging zero emission aircraft.

ZENITH will develop fundamental new knowledge and understanding and deliver globally differentiated solutions in hydrogen energy storage and structures technologies which will have a clear impact on the UK’s aerospace industries and the UK’s 2050 Net Zero targets.

Your role on the project will involve development of reduced order damage models (nonlinear FEA) and new analytical techniques for application of non-standard laminate designs to bonded, postbuckled composite structures.  The new methods will be validated using experimental data and statistical theory, to enable rapid certification and high-rate production of optimised structures.   

You will be working alongside three other Post-Doctoral Researchers and associated PhDs. Significant collaboration with the industrial partner is expected.

This position is offered on a full-time basis, fixed term from 1^st April 2025 to March 2028.

About you

Our ideal candidate will have:

• a PhD in a relevant subject area within Engineering
• experience of numerical methods for structural analysis
• the ability to organise own workload to meet deadlines
• demonstrable awareness of the latest developments in this field

A lower grade offer may be made (Grade 6) with comparable reduction in responsibilities and amendment in job title to Research Assistant, if a suitable applicant cannot be found to fill the Grade 7 position. Applicants will need to be within six months of their course completion date and will be promoted to Research Associate once their PhD has been awarded.

About the role

Working as part of the Disability Service you will provide high-quality advice and support to disabled students by assessing and identifying needs, recommending relevant and personalised reasonable adjustments that enable them to access their studies and remove barriers to their success. This will include assisting students to access specialist funded support such as Disabled Student Allowance (DSA) to help meet their individual support needs.

You will work collaboratively to co-ordinate support across a range of University professional services, academic departments and external agencies regarding disabled student cases, establishing and maintaining strong working relationships with colleagues to ensure effective signposting and referrals in response to risk, complex need or specialist services.

A significant proportion of your time will be spent conducting appointments with students. Most appointments will be in person (on ºÚÁÏÍø³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ premises), although you will at times also meet with students remotely (especially during the pre-arrival period).

The International Dimensions and Effects of Populism (IDEoPOP) 

The Department of Politics, Languages and International Studies at the ºÚÁÏÍø³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ is seeking to appoint two fully funded PhD Fellowships to join European Union’s Horizon Europe Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions-Doctoral Networks/UKRI for a duration of 36 months. 

PhD1: Regional and international populist orders

This project analyses how populists conceive of regional and international orders. This project will provide an understanding about whether populist governments and leaders have an overall unitary conception of international order or whether this conception is segmented and depends on geopolitical factors such as belonging to specific regional orders, notions of regions and regionness as type of subsystem and order. In order to capture the expected diversity of understandings of international orders out there, the study cases will have a cross-regional dimensions, like for example, India, Turkey, Brazil and the US as well as other populist experiences. In this way, this project will also contribute to the further understanding of the reciprocal nexus of regions and international orders. 

PhD2: Populist branding in international politics

This project analyses how populist leaders brand themselves in international politics. This project will bring together different theoretical elements of comparative electoral politics such as electoral branding of candidates, and electoral marketing, and foreign policy elements such as roles and identity aspects of the state to analyze how populist leaders when acting internationally also promote a type of self-brand which is used for further domestic and international identification. This project will also unveil the type of relationships that populist leaders seek to advance and locate internationally. Within this relational dimension the project also analyses whether this brand is welcomed and accepted by domestic actors and by international peers and institutions, or whether the brand as performed is challenged and adjusted as being contested. A priority for Latin American case studies (at least to a certain extent) will be given, like for example, the case of J.Milei in Argentina, J.Bolsonaro in Brazil, N.Bukele in Salvador, and AMLO in Mexico.

About IDEoPOP Consortium

IDEoPOP offers training-through-research within a uniquely structured doctoral program imparting academic and complementary professional skills. A multifaceted scholarly training is provided by seven academic partners: University of Freiburg, Sciences Po Paris, University of Gothenburg, Bilkent University, University of Genova, Jagiellonian University, and ºÚÁÏÍø³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ. Doctoral candidates will learn how to develop and communicate academic and policy- solutions to the challenges of populism in international politics via temporary assignments to renowned think tanks (Institute of International Relations Prague, International Youth Think Tank in Gothenburg, Institute for International Economic Relations in Athens, BRICS Policy Center in Rio de Janeiro, Stiftung Genshagen near Berlin, and Institut Jacques Delors in Paris).

VIRMOBS is an international comparative project led by Social Scientists in Canada, France and the UK. VIRMOBS examines the implications of virtual mobilities (namely forms of ISM where students enroll on online distance education programmes outside their home countries) for learning, cultural experience, social inclusion and the value of credentials. It asks: are virtual mobilities more sustainable, inclusive forms of ISM, or are they low-value alternatives likely to exacerbate existing inequalities? How do different national policy and regulatory contexts influence the shape and impact of virtual mobilities?

VIRMOBS will combine socio-history, quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the national, institutional and individual logics underpinning virtual mobilities in Canada, France and the UK. We will conduct documentary research, student surveys and interviews with staff and students in the three countries.

You will join the UK team and be based in the Department of Education at the ºÚÁÏÍø³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ. You will contribute to all aspects of the project with a primary focus on the UK case.

The Postdoctoral Research Associate will work closely with Dr Tobias Barker on the analysis of the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations (and related partial differential equations). 

The candidate will have a strong background in the rigorous analysis of partial differential equations describing fluids (or describing other related physical phenomena). 

This position is part of Dr Tobias Barker's EPSRC funded project "APP11616: Dynamics and regularity criteria for nonlinear incompressible partial differential equations", whose themes and objectives are to:

• Establish necessary conditions for singularity formation for the 3D Navier-Stokes equations, that are convenient for numerical searches for singular solutions.
• Rigorously construct solutions of the 3D Navier-Stokes equations and Euler equations that display certain features consistent with physical observations.

The successful applicant will be part of a very active Analysis group at the ºÚÁÏÍø³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ, with several faculty members having expertise in fluid PDEs. The Analysis group runs a weekly Analysis seminar during semester, often hosting internationally renowned researchers.
