The development of larger and more efficient engines, novel aircraft architectures and evolving aircraft use patterns, demand a paradigm shift in aircraft structural solutions.
In collaboration with Rolls-Royce, The School of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering at Queen’s University Belfast, is currently seeking a highly motivated and ambitious Research Fellow, with demonstrable experience in coding and structural analysis for aerospace applications, to investigate novel Finite Element modelling strategies for next generation aircraft and engine structural design.
You will develop new computational modelling methods for aircraft design to explore and obtain understanding of the structural performance of current and future aircraft.
Direct collaboration with Rolls-Royce will be an important feature of the role, with regular visits to their state of the art facilities. You will have extensive opportunity to show case your work to project partners at regular technical meetings and workshops.
You will become a key member of an interdisciplinary team of experts from Queen’s University Belfast and Rolls-Royce working on this exciting initiative.
The successful candidate must have and your CV/Cover letter should clearly demonstrate you have:
