Descrizione del lavoro

University of Bath is seeking a Research Associate in Modelling and Robotics to join the Mechanical Engineering team. The role focuses on advanced physics-based modelling, numerical simulation and experimental validation for dexterous soft robotic manipulators within the ARIA Robot Dexterity Programme.

You will develop and verify high-fidelity models using tools like COMSOL, ABAQUS or ANSYS, and collaborate with multidisciplinary researchers to push the boundaries of computational mechanics and

Competenze

• PhD (or nearing completion) in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Computational Mechanics, Applied Mathematics or a closely related STEM field.
• Strong knowledge of high-fidelity computational modelling and FEA, nonlinear mechanics, structural dynamics or multi-physics.
• Experience with COMSOL, ABAQUS or ANSYS or equivalent tools.
• Good understanding of robotic systems including kinematics, dynamics, actuation and control.
