Develop advanced aluminium brazing technology at BCAST, Brunel University of London, combining materials engineering, process development, and mechanical performance analysis.

The Research Assistant/Research Fellow will work on the TURBOCOOLING project, funded by Innovate UK. Based at Brunel's Uxbridge Campus, the appointment addresses high-quality brazed joints for high-performance heat exchangers. The research covers apparatus development, brazing methodology, temperature simulation, microstructure optimisation, and mechanical testing.

Key Responsibilities:

- Develop apparatus for manufacturing high-quality brazed aluminium joints
- Establish methodologies for high-integrity joint production
- Optimise joint microstructures for improved performance




- Simulate workpiece temperature distributions during brazing
- Characterise mechanical properties of brazed joints

Requirements:

- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or related discipline
- PhD in Materials, Mechanical, Manufacturing, or related Engineering desirable
- Ability to undertake experimental and modelling research
- Availability for a part time, fixed-term appointment
- Interest in metallurgical research within BCAST

Use materials engineering expertise to advance aluminium brazing, optimise microstructures, and strengthen heat exchanger joint performance.
