Research Assistant or Associate in Computational Modelling of Dislocation Plasticity and Fatigue

Research Assistant or Associate in Computational Modelling of Dislocation Plasticity and Fatigue

We are seeking a motivated Research Assistant or Research Associate to join an EPSRC-funded project investigating the micro-mechanisms of thermal fatigue in high-temperature nickel-based alloys and/or other precipitate-strengthened alloys used in aerospace and nuclear applications.

Working with Dr Christos Skamniotis and collaborators at the University of Twente, the University of Leicester, Rolls-Royce plc and UKAEA, you will develop advanced computational Multiphysics models to study the behaviour and interactions of crystallographic dislocations under extreme thermal and mechanical loads experienced in real service environments. The project combines cutting‑edge Discrete Dislocation Plasticity (DDP) modelling complemented by Crystal Plasticity Finite Element (CPFE) modelling to address fundamental questions related to fatigue damage and material performance.
