A funded PhD position on computational design and optimization of water purification systems is available in the Mathematical Modelling group at Loughborough University.
This position is part of a wider research project on computational modelling of parametric problems using domain decomposition methods and model order reduction (see https://gow.epsrc.ukri.org/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/V027603/1).
For further details and applications see https://www.lboro.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/research-degrees/phd-opportunities/computational-design-water-purification-systems/.
For inquiries about the PhD position, contact Dr Marco Discacciati at m.discacciati@lboro.ac.uk.
Closing date: 28th February 2023

Applicants are sought for an (initially) 2-year post focusing on the use of finite element multi-physics methods for simulating the chemo-mechanical behaviour of solid-state batteries. The postdoc will be co-supervised by Dr Emilio Martínez-Pañeda (Mechanics of Materials) and by Prof Greg Offer and Dr Monica Marinescu from Imperial’s Battery group. Salary: £43,093 – £50,834. The PDRA will have access to state-of-the-art HPC facilities and will also have the opportunity to (co-)supervise PhD and MSc Theses. Interested applicants are encouraged to submit their applications as soon as possible, as reviewing of applications will start immediately. For more details see:

Applicants are sought for this (initially) 3-year post focussing on the development and use of the Material Point Method (MPM) in computational geotechnics. Professors Augarde and Coombs lead an internationally recognised group of researchers developing the MPM for problems involving large deformation, coupled non-linear material behaviour and contact, and have a number of current projects in which the MPM is applied to problems in offshore geotechnics (e.g. ploughing, anchors, cable burial etc.).  If successful in your application you would be joining a growing group of researchers solving fundamental issues in the Material Point Method and will build on the success of previously funded research and development. The successful applicant will be expected to develop a high performance and heavily featured version of the current code used at Durham, AMPLE, and to then use it to explore a number of offshore geotechnics problems including ploughing, foundation installation and decommissioning. The focus of the project will be implementation and use of MPMs rather than fundamental research into aspects of the methods.

Closing date: 30^th November 2022.
