About the Project
We are looking for candidates who are sponsored or have their own funding. We are seeking highly motivated candidates to embark on this leading-edge doctoral programme. You will gain an understanding of 4D Printing in order to build your expertise of the materiality and principles that influence the shape change effect. Following which you will be expected to demonstrate your contribution to new knowledge by producing several practical product components from 4D polymers, such as smart valves and actuators. We are also happy to consider other research project proposals which could be negotiated between the applicant and the supervisor.
Applicants should have a first or second class UK honours degree or a recognised equivalent from an overseas university in a related discipline, such as Material Science or Mechanical Engineering will be beneficial. A Masters level qualification is desirable. Applicants who are non-native speakers must possess an English language qualification acceptable by the university. The ideal candidate should be detail oriented with good analytical skills. We welcome candidates who are sponsored or who have their own funding.
