We are seeking a full-time Post-Doctoral Research Associate to join the Brassart research group at the Department of Engineering Science (central Oxford). The post is funded by EPSRC, for a duration of 24 months. The project aims to develop new constitutive models to describe the mechanical behaviour of Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs), with the research developing the theory underpinning the model, its numerical implementation in a finite element code, and its validation against experimental data in collaboration with experimental collaborators.
This is a 24 month, fixed-term position.
Closing date for applications: 31 May 2025
