Summary
University of Sheffield
Are you a highly motivated researcher with a passion for mathematical modelling, coding, and ultrasound instrumentation, thriving in collaborative environments and eager to see your technical skills translated into tangible industrial solutions?
This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic research team as a KTP Research Associate, where you will be central to a collaborative project between The University of Sheffield, a leading research institution, and Johnson Matthey PLC, a global leader in sustainable technologies.
You will take the lead in developing mathematical frameworks that describe the propagation of ultrasound waves through particulate materials. Applying these models, you will design and contribute to the implementation of sensors for measuring critical particle properties, such as their size distribution. A vital part of this role involves balancing experimental needs, for example bandwidth requirements, with mathematical restrictions and the practicalities of plant environments. Furthermore, your responsibilities will include data manipulation, signal analysis, and software engineering to integrate cutting-edge theoretical tools, ultimately driving the creation of innovative sensing solutions for plant applications.
The University of Sheffield values its people, recognizing that their diverse backgrounds, abilities, and beliefs are what make it a world-class institution.
The primary place of work will be at Johnson Matthey, Belasis Avenue, Billingham,TS23 1LB, and while employed by The University of Sheffield, you will spend a significant portion of your time working on-site at Johnson Matthey PLC. You will also spend time working at the University of Sheffield.
As a distinguished FTSE 250 organisation with over 200 years of history and a presence in more than 30 countries, Johnson Matthey is a global leader in catalysis, precious metal products, chemicals, and process technology, committed to catalysing the race to net zero.
This role also offers the valuable opportunity to attend a residential programme at Ashorne Hill to further develop your professional skills and network.
To apply, please submit your CV and a cover letter detailing your relevant experience and qualifications.
For further information or an informal discussion about the role, please contact Art Gower at a.l.gower@sheffield.ac.uk.
We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
