Advance aluminium brazing research at Brunel University of London through experimental methods, modelling, and microstructure characterisation. This part time role is based at Uxbridge Campus.

Working within BCAST, the Research Assistant/Research Fellow will support the TURBOCOOLING Innovate UK project. The work develops advanced aluminium brazing technology for high-performance heat exchangers. You will optimise brazing processes, simulate temperature distributions, and assess brazed-joint performance through experimental and modelling activities.

Key Responsibilities:

- Optimise aluminium brazing processes for heat exchanger applications
- Simulate temperature distributions within aluminium workpieces
- Develop apparatus and methodologies for manufacturing brazed joints




- Characterise brazed-joint microstructures and mechanical properties
- Maximise mechanical performance through joint microstructure optimisation

Requirements:

- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or related discipline
- PhD in a related engineering field is desirable
- Interest in experimental and modelling aspects of aluminium brazing
- Ability to work part-time at 9.58 hours weekly
- Availability for the stated fixed-term contract

Apply your aluminium brazing, temperature modelling, and materials characterisation skills within BCAST's specialist research environment.
