| Job Description |
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship to research issues in the intersection of service-oriented architectures and engineering design utilizing technology from web services, work-flow enactment, semantic web and multi-criteria optimization.
PROJECT AIM: To contribute to the creation of a multi-fidelity multi-disciplinary optimisation environment for aircraft design. The precise focus of the work will depend on the background of the successful candidate, but will involve application of semantic web technology, adaptation of e-Science technology and development of tools to support multi-disciplinary optimisation, with application to aerospace engineering to enable the exploration of, for example, structural and aero-elasticity design requirements.

| Qualifications |
ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS: The successful applicant will have, or be expecting, a First Class Honours Degree (or equivalent) in computer science or aerospace/mechanical engineering or applied mathematics. He/she must be a competent programmer (Java, C, but able to pick up another languages as required) and have some knowledge of numerical methods (facility with Matlab). In addition, he/she must offer excellent communication and team working skills appropriate to an interdisciplinary project.
FINANCES: Tuition fees (at home/EU level) and stipend of £12940/year(tax-free) are provided by the studentship, funded by the Universityof Bath in the context of the EPSRC “Bridging the Gaps between mathematics, ICT and Engineering” initiative. Overseas (non European Union) applicants must be able to fund the home/overseas differential (approx £9000 at this time) themselves. The studentship is for 3 years and should start in October 2009, or as soon as possible thereafter. |
