About the Project
The School of Computer Science & Informatics, Cardiff University has an opening for a 3-year PhD position under an EU Marie-Curie Initial Training Network (ITN) on “Integrating Numerical Simulation and Geometric Design Technology (INSIST)” (Call: FP7-PEOPLE-2011-ITN). As Marie Curie Fellow you will be working in the area of CAD feature processing to simplify CAD models for engineering analysis, specifically on a language to specify geometric features and suitable feature detection and suppression algorithms.
A suitable candidate will have a first degree or masters degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics or a closely related subject. They must have proven excellent programming and mathematical skills, and experience in developing geometric modelling software or computer graphics software. Experience in declarative languages, database query languages and query optimisation, CAD feature processing will be an advantage, or numerical methods to solve partial differential equations will be an advantage. Eligibility to the Marie-Curie ITN scheme includes that the candidate has not spent more than 12 months in the UK in the 3 years immediately preceding the appointment for this position. Applicants must be researchers who are in the first 4 years (full-time equivalent) of their research careers.
The successful candidate will participate in a research training network of an EU-funded Marie Curie ITN and will work in a highly interactive international environment with other Marie-Curie PhD students, researchers and industry and will execute the part of the work during extended visits at the partner institutions outside the UK.
This post is fixed term for 3 years.
To work for an employer that values and promotes equality of opportunity, please visit www.cardiff.ac.uk/jobs and search for vacancy number 60BR.
Closing date: Friday 1st June 2012.
Cardiff University reserves the right to close this vacancy early should sufficient applications be received.
