Schemes for Engineers in Research and Development

MOD Research Fellowship

This application round is now closed, the following is for information purposes only

This is an opportunity for a highly capable and innovative engineer to investigate techniques for the management, absorption or dissipation of the energy associated with large blast or impact loadings in order to minimise structural damage. The emphasis should be on the investigation of novel and innovative engineering methods rather than the development of new materials. There will be opportunities to work with research, development and modelling teams within Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) and possibly with some of Dstl’s industrial and academic partners.

Funding and Duration

The Fellowship is offered for five years and funding will be on a full economic costing basis and include gross salary, indirect and estates costs. Full costing details will be required from applicants who are selected for interview.

Eligibility

Due to the nature of the research and involvement with Dstl applicants must be UK nationals. Appointment will be dependant on the applicant obtaining MOD security clearance and placement of a non-disclosure agreement with Dstl.

Ideally applicants will have less than three years post doctoral experience, or who are about the complete their PhD, and can be working in any engineering discipline.
