Project Details<\/strong><\/p>\n Applications are invited to undertake a 3 year PhD programme in partnership with industry to address key challenges in on-platform manufacturing engineering.<\/p>\n The successful candidate will be based at the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre (UTC) in Manufacturing Technology and On-Wing Technology at the University of Nottingham. Having state-of-the-art purpose built facilities, the UTC offers a world-class environment for the realisation of high impact research projects.<\/p>\n The project will deal with the micromechanics and in-depth materials analysis of advanced aerospace materials upon manufacturing operations to understand the materials response to manufacturing process to efficiently support the manufacture of aerospace components.<\/p>\n This will involve using a wide range of sophisticated testing and analysis techniques including not only the study of conventional manufacturing process of advanced aerospace materials but also the state-of-the-art materials investigation such as Scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and in-situ micromechanics.<\/p>\n This project will involve manufacturing trials, workpiece surface quality analysis (e.g. metallurgy, integrity, residual stresses), followed by in-depth investigation from micromechanics to micromechanics, thus to evaluate the materials response upon manufacturing process. Internationally recognised Rolls-Royce specialists in the field will be available throughout the project to provide the PhD student with support and guidance if required.<\/p>\n Eligibility<\/strong><\/p>\n This is an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic first or upper second class graduate in mechanical\/manufacturing\/materials science\/physics to build strong knowledge in both manufacturing and material science while building strong relationships with both academic and industrial areas at international level.<\/p>\n Graduates finishing their degrees in July 2021 are also encouraged to apply. Due to the nature of funding only UK applicants can be considered for this position.<\/p>\n Funding<\/strong><\/p>\n The bursary covers the tuition fees and provides a tax-free stipend of approximately \u00a315,609 per year for the duration of the project (three years).<\/p>\n Application Requirement<\/strong><\/p>\n Applications with a CV, cover letter and academic transcripts should be sent to Prof Dragos Axinte. Suitable applicants will be interviewed, and if successful, invited to make a formal application. Do not submit your application via the My Nottingham platform without having contacted our team first.<\/p>\n Please contact the Rolls-Royce UTC director for further information.
