Aluminium Brazing Research Assistant

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.
