Research Associate in Titanium Alloy Powder Processing & Metallurgy Job at University of Sheffield
The Department of Materials Science and Engineering is one of the national leaders in the field: it was rated in the top 5 in the latest Research Assessment Exercise (2014) when accounting for profile and volume. The department currently has 40 academic staff including 17 professors, 6 Readers, 9 Senior Lecturers and 8 Lecturers. They receive excellent support from 21 technical and 25 administrative staff.
There are currently 58 Postdoctoral Research Staff, 222 Research Students, 95 MSc students and 213 students taking taught MEng and BEng degree programmes. The Department’s teaching is underpinned by world-leading research, and facilitated by state-of-the-art facilities. Further details about the Department can be accessed via the Departmental web link: www.shef.ac.uk/materials.
The post holder will work within the Research Group of Professor Martin Jackson. The post is a key part of a large collaborative DSTL funded programme – ATiTUDE Affordable titanium for Defence - with the University Strathclyde (Advanced Forming Research Centre), RBSL, Transition Metals, BAE Systems and MBDA. The aim of the programme is to develop the processing routes and tooling to convert titanium alloy machining waste into consolidated billet with forged properties for defence applications.
The successful candidate will be required to perform applied research on powder, machining swarf preparation, develop tooling for field-assisted sintering technology (FAST). Extensive quantitative characterisation and mechanical testing of the resulting materials will be required. There will also be a small degree of data analytics, programming and simulation of the consolidation processes and microstructure evolution. The experimental trials, testing and analysis will be conducted at both the Engineering campus and Transition Metals (also based in Sheffield). The PDRA will be expected to work closely with Transition Metals as well as the University of Strathclyde Advanced Forming Research Centre.
The successful candidate should have a good honours degree in this area and hold a PhD or be close to completion.
We are committed to exploring flexible working opportunities which benefit the individual and University.
We’re one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK. The University’s Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and professional development.
We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
