Research Associate/Fellow (fixed term) (ENG385219)

Applications are invited for the above position to join the Manufacturing Metrology Team, as part of the Institute for Advanced Manufacturing, at the University of Nottingham. The Manufacturing Metrology Team conducts fundamental research to enable the next-generation of off-line and in-line metrology tools for advanced manufacturing methods with focus on precision manufacturing and additive manufacturing. More information can be found on our website (www.nottingham.ac.uk/research/manufacturing-metrology).

The project will develop a mathematical approach to the testing of software for surface texture parameters according to international standards. Current methods rely on algorithmic approaches that are subject to differences in design and application.

Candidates must have an excellent degree in, preferably physics or mathematics. Strong skills in surface texture analysis are essential. It is also expected that the candidate will demonstrate high level communication and organisational skills and an aptitude for liaison with industrial partners.

This full-time post is available from November 2019 and will be offered on a fixed-term contract for a period 12 months. Job share arrangements may be considered.
