Research Associate/Fellow (Fixed term) (ENG reference: ENG119725

The Nottingham Transportation Engineering Centre (NTEC) is seeking a highly motivated Research Associate/Fellow for a full-time (36.25 hours) position in the field of sustainable pavement engineering for an initial period of 24 months (2 years). This role offers an exciting opportunity to collaborate with NTEC’s internationally recognised academic team on project funded by the Royal Society to develop inclusive rural road infrastructure in developing countries. 

The successful candidate will have the chance to engage in the development of novel research methods, extend their research portfolio and contribute to the evolution of technologies such as the use of low carbon materials in road pavements. Working closely with international collaborators, the role holder will ensure that research outcomes influence future developments and widespread use.  In this capacity, the Research Fellow will be expected to prepare high-quality research outputs and grant proposals, including publications in leading journals and other relevant platforms. Candidates should have either obtained or submitted a PhD (or equivalent) in Civil, Mechanical, or Materials Engineering, or a closely related field from a research-intensive university by the start date of the position. Advanced knowledge in bitumen is highly desirable, and experience with road material testing is preferred.  

Job share arrangements may be considered. Requests for secondment from internal candidates may be considered on the basis that prior agreement has been sought from both your current line manager and the manager of your substantive post, if you are already undertaking a secondment role.

Informal enquiries may be addressed to Dr. Anand Sreeram (Assistant Professor in Transportation Engineering). Email: anand.sreeram@nottingham.ac.uk Please note that applications sent directly to this email address will not be accepted
