Job description
The School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering was formally established at Queen's in 1912. The School has over 100 years of engineering excellence and has recently completed a GBP 17m investment in the refit of our laboratory and teaching facilities. These include a rapid prototyping room, state of the art composites laboratory, and a fully configurable
flight simulator.
The Schools' vision is to be world-leading in research and teaching, addressing global challenges and the needs of society through knowledge creation and dissemination. We are proud of the strong links we continue to develop with industry leaders, both nationally and internationally.
All of our Undergraduate and Postgraduate taught programmes are fully accredited by either the Institute of Mechanical Engineers or the Royal Aeronautical Society.
Queen's strives to nurture an academic environment which greatly values its scholars and researchers. Our multi-national School proudly holds an Athena Swan Silver award acknowledging our inclusive ethos.
Funded by EC-Horizon 2020, this project runs until October 2020 and is an exciting opportunity for a postdoctoral researcher who is interested in supplementing his or her research skills, in composites research, with project management experience. The successful candidate will join the Advanced Composites Research Group (ACRG), within the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Queen's University Belfast (QUB), where the time will be split between carrying out research and proposal development in an area which is mutually agreed with the Group's Director and managing an EU research programme for which the Group's Director is the Project Coordinator (PC).
In his or her capacity as Project Manager (PM), the successful candidate will be responsible for all activities relating to the day-to-day coordination of an EU H2020 MSCA Innovation Training Network, ICONIC - 'Improving the crashworthiness of composites transportation structures' project. The ICONIC consortium consists of nine Beneficiaries and four Partner Organisations across six EU member states, with Queen's being the coordinating institution. Fifteen Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) have been appointed by the consortium and are each pursuing a PhD research project and an individually-tailored training programme.
The incumbent will also have the opportunity to plan and deliver research activities, agreed with the PD, of relevance to the research objectives of the ACRG, as well as assist in the development of research proposals to support the activities of the Group.
