Chair in Low Carbon Manufacturing, University of Exeter.

The University of Exeter is seeking a full Professor in the field of Low Carbon Manufacturing.

The University is significantly expanding its capacity in Science and Engineering, with 275 million
GBP (approx 440M USD) capital spend on campus and 80M GBP (130M USD) on new academic staff.

Chair in Aerospace Structural Dynamics, University of Exeter

The University of Exeter is seeking a full Professor in the field of Aerospace Structural Dynamics.

The University is significantly expanding its capacity in Science and Engineering, with 275 million
GBP (approx 440M USD) capital spend on campus and 80M GBP (130M USD) on new academic staff.

As part of this expansion the University seeks to employ a new chair in Structural Dynamics particularly as applied to aerospace or related fields.

Chair in Cell Mechanics, University of Exeter

The University of Exeter
is significantly expanding its capacity in Science and Engineering, with 275 million
GBP (approx 440M USD) capital spend on campus and 80M GBP (130M USD) on new academic staff.

The university seeks to employ two new chairs in i) cell mechanics and ii) physical cell biology. Research areas of interest for the chair in cell mechanics might include computational fluid or solid mechanics.

I'm pleased to offer applications for a PhD studentship on measurement of strains in vivo in intervertebral discs at the University of Exeter. It will be co-supervised by myself on (the mechanics side) and Dr J Meakin (on the medical imaging side).

Experience with optical strain measurement (eg DIC, virtual fields method etc), reverse engineering problems and/or finite elements would be desirable. Tax free stipend of approx 14.5k GBP, funding only covers registration fees for EU nationals (ie non-EU nationals must find extra funding at circa 9k GBP per year for 3 years)

The University of Exeter will shortly announce several new chairs it is seeking to fill.

The chairs are full tenured chairs and in the following areas -

Cell Mechanics (two chairs, one nominally experimental and one nominally theoretical).

Structural Dynamics, possibly with an aerospace flavour.

If you are interested, or know someone who might be, please contact me (c.w.smith-at-exeter.ac.uk) for an informal discussion.

Regards,

Chris Smith

This studentship has now been filled, but there may be further similar studentships to follow.
