About the University

We have one simple promise – to make a positive impact. Through our ground-breaking research, teaching excellence and commitment to sustainable living, we are changing lives for the better.

The University of Derby is a modern university with a modern outlook. Everything we do is driven by delivering excellence and opportunities for our students, our staff and our region.

We have some of the best university facilities in the UK and achieve outstanding results for our teaching and research and have been awarded Gold in the prestigious Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) 2023 – making it one of the top universities in the country recognised for its outstanding student experience and student outcomes.

Financially strong and seriously ambitious we offer our employees an inclusive culture that centres itself around staff wellbeing, where you can be confident you will receive all the help and encouragement you need to build a rewarding career with lots of opportunities to enhance your skills.

About the College/Department

Here at the University of Derby, the College of Science and Engineering is the home of STEM: the skills that are essential to the UK’s Industrial Strategy. From digitisation to decarbonisation, we have an important role to play in shaping the future. And by researching or collaborating with us, you can too.

The College brings together a powerful combination of scientific expertise, technological innovation, and creative practice. With disciplines spanning computing, AI, data science, engineering, environmental sciences, built environments and psychology - we are uniquely positioned to solve real-world challenges through interdisciplinary collaboration.

Our courses are designed with employability and future industry needs in mind, supported by cutting-edge facilities, strong employer partnerships, and a commitment to sustainability. Through applied research and hands-on learning, we equip students and staff to drive progress in areas that matter most; from smart technology to clean energy, advanced manufacturing to immersive design.

School of Engineering and Built Environment

The School of Engineering and Built Environment at the University of Derby is a dynamic and future-focused academic community that blends technical excellence with creative innovation. It offers a wide range of programmes across engineering, architecture, construction, and design, preparing students to tackle global challenges in sustainability, infrastructure, and the built environment.

The School is home to research-active academics with backgrounds in engineering, architecture, interior design, and construction. Our staff bring real-world experience and academic rigour to the classroom, supporting students in developing both creative portfolios and technical competencies.

The discipline area is located in the University’s STEM annex in Markeaton Street, where staff offices and lab facilities are co-located. Key investments in the last few years include dedicated intelligent instrumentation and smart sensor technologies, robotics, renewable energy, power engineering and advanced materials and manufacturing. The discipline area is actively engaged in knowledge exchange projects and has an active applied research agenda.

About the role

We are seeking a Researcher with proven experience in computational methods to join our team and contribute to a range of internationally funded research projects. The postholder will play a key role in the European-funded PANTAREI project, while also supporting activities within the NATO Science for Peace-funded ATHENA project, focused on nanocomposites for space applications, and the ESA Topical Team ENABLE.

Working closely with the Principal Investigator and project partners, you will contribute to the development and application of innovative research methodologies, undertake data analysis and investigation, and help advance knowledge within these cutting-edge research areas. You will be expected to take initiative in shaping research activities, contribute to funding proposals where appropriate, and build collaborative relationships with academic and external stakeholders.

The role also includes supporting the supervision of undergraduate and postgraduate students involved in project-related research, helping to develop their research skills and contributing to teaching activities where appropriate. A key aspect of the position will be disseminating research outcomes through publications in high-quality journals and presentations at national and international conferences, in line with the projects’ dissemination objectives.

The PANTAREI Project

PANTAREI provides concrete, attractive, interdisciplinary and tech-oriented solutions for digitalising the entire life cycle of complex multi-scale bio-derived materials, from the design, to meta-structures realization and assessment stage.

Buildings are globally responsible for more than 30% of total energy use and 19% of global Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. They wield a colossal and far-reaching impact on the environment, voraciously consuming vast natural resources and spewing out emissions that fuel the relentless advance of global warming.

The future of sustainable constructions is represented by the Net-Zero Energy Building (NZEB) concept, that pertains to a structurally advanced and highly energy-efficient edifice, which, over a defined timeframe, generally a year, generates an equivalent amount of energy as it consumes.

To materialise this goal, there is the urgency to overcome an evident mismatch between digital technologies and meta-structures made of novel sustainable materials.

About You

You will hold, or be close to completing, a PhD in Computational Mechanics, Applied Mathematics, Applied Physics, or a related discipline, with experience of delivering high-quality research in computational modelling and simulation.

You will have expertise in one or more of the following areas: computational multiscale/multiphysics analysis, finite element methods (e.g. FEniCS), machine learning for materials and structural optimisation, high-performance computing, or advanced programming and user-defined subroutines. Knowledge of Noise Reduction Methods and Thermal Analysis is welcome.

Experience with ICME tools and modern software engineering approaches for computational research is also essential. With strong analytical, communication and problem-solving skills, you will be able to work independently and collaboratively, contribute to publications and presentations, and support the supervision of student researchers. You will be adaptable, proactive and committed to delivering high-quality research outcomes within an international, multidisciplinary environment.

A Higher Education Academy (HEA) Fellowship is desirable but not essential. A willingness to travel occasionally within the UK and overseas is required.

Principal accountabilities

Under the direction of the Principal Investigator, contribute to the development of new knowledge and techniques to the research project(s).

Contribute to the determination of appropriate research methodologies for the project(s).

Analyse research findings and determine the need for further investigation.

Contribute to the writing up of research findings and dissemination through publications or seminar and conference presentations.

Assist with the preparation of proposals and applications to both external and/or internal bodies for funding, contractual or accreditation purposes.

Support the supervision of undergraduate projects and postgraduate research students in conjunction with other staff, and provide training and limited teaching as appropriate.

Assist in the development of student research skills, for example as part of a postgraduate supervision team.

Plan and manage own research activity and initiate research relevant to the discipline or research project(s).

Where opportunities exist within the research project(s), support the development and delivery of business engagement activities, developing entrepreneurial links with external organisations.

Contribute to the writing of collective bids for funding, and, where funders permit, write individual bids for funding with appropriate support.

Undertake appropriate training and staff development.

Provide guidance as required to other colleagues working on related research project(s).

Assist and help informally students working in the same research discipline.

Develop internal and external contacts with other academic staff to form collaborative relationships and assist with their research project(s).

Understand own development needs and formulate a personal development plan.

Observe and implement University policies and procedures.
