PHD Studentship within the School of Engineering & the Built Environment
Job description
SEBE PhD Studentship
PhD Studentship:
Photonic sensor implementation for the safe operation of Civil Engineering structure
Department: School of Engineering and the Built Environment
Job status: Full Time
Contract type: Fixed Term (3 year)
Stipend: GBP 14,057 per annum
Closing Date: Friday 27th October
Job Summary
Research team led by: Dr Lourdes Alwis,
Dr Fateh Kerrouche
This studentship will provide a Stipend of GBP 14,057 p.a. plus Home/EU fees (only) of GBP 4,400 p.a. for 3 years. (Subject to review and satisfactory progress.)
The Engineering Research Group (ERG) at Edinburgh Napier University are working on the application of fibre-optic sensor technology for: the monitoring of deterioration in civil infrastructure; the detection of gas/chemical leakage; and a non-invasive sensing approach for biomedical applications. The group was awarded an Innovation prize for their work by Australian Water Association, New South Wales, earlier this year. ERG is expanding its research into the use of Photonic Sensors for further applications and is offering a PhD studentship to enable a suitably qualified candidate to join their vibrant research team.
The project focuses on the design and implementation of distributed fibre optic sensors to monitor structural deterioration experienced by civil engineering structures such as railway bridges and buildings. The project will also focus on sensor applications related to geo-engineering applications, i.e. scour monitoring under railway bridges.
Candidate Profile
Interested applicants should:-
1.
hold a Masters in Photonics, Advanced instrumentation or equivalent in a related discipline. Consideration will be given to candidates with a good Honours Engineering degree (2:1 or above) in Electrical, Civil, Photonics or equivalent, in a related discipline
2.
be self-motivated, have good communication skills and critical thinking/analysis skills
3.
(desirably) have previous experience working on similar projects
The studentship is available immediately. All applications must be received by Friday 27th October 2017, with interviews expected to take place on the week commencing from 13th November.
For informal enquiries about the project, please contact Dr Lourdes Alwis (L.Alwis@napier.ac.uk) in the first instance.
