Technical University of Berlin

About us Recently re-founded, the Department of Engineering is rapidly expanding into a world-class research and teaching department. Research currently focuses on computational engineering, information processing systems, robotics, telecommunications, and biomedical engineering, but we are looking to establish new research themes. This post will be affiliated with the computational engineering research group within the department.  We offer both undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, with a distinctive approach, combining both traditional teaching methods with modern, project-based learning, catering for the needs of our students and the industries in which they will work.  As a new department we have invested in new laboratories and maker space at the centre of the Strand campus in the heart of central London.  For more information: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/engineering About the role This role will support the delivery of a mesh generation project, funded under a recent major £7m EPSRC Programme Grant REMODEL: Advancing Parallel Mesh Generation and Geometry Representation to Enable Industrially Relevant, High-Fidelity Simulations. The goal of REMODEL is to make major advances in mesh generation and CAD geometry to enable large-scale exascale-capable simulations for the new UK national supercomputer.  The successful candidate will work within Prof. David Moxey’s group at King’s, together with the wider REMODEL project team (Swansea University, Imperial College London, EPCC and Queen’s University Belfast), to advance adaptive mesh refinement: the ability to dynamically change resolution as large-scale simulations progress, whilst preserving the geometric representation of the project. You will work within a leading group in high-order methods: a class of finite element methods that is now leading the way for future computational fluid dynamics simulations. Specifically, our group develops the Nektar++ spectral/hp element framework (www.nektar.info), and its mesh generation tool NekMesh. The successful candidate will be expected to lead developments of both tools, working towards integrated mesh-solver cycles and enable large-scale parallel simulations that adapt the mesh to fit the underlying geometry. They will also provide NekMesh with the user-focused development required to get this presently-specialist tool into the hands of general practitioners.  The successful candidate will also help to represent the developments at King’s and work closely with the REMODEL partners in academia, as well as industrial partners. This is a full time contract (35 Hours per week), offered on a fixed term contract for two years. Research staff at King’s are entitled to at least 10 days per year (pro-rata) for professional development. This entitlement, from the Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers, applies to Postdocs, Research Assistants, Research and Teaching Technicians, Teaching Fellows and AEP equivalent up to and including grade 7. Visit the Centre for Research Staff Development for more information. About you To be successful in this role, we are looking for candidates to have the following skills and experience: Essential criteria Have, or be about to obtain, a PhD or equivalent qualification/experience in a related field of study (e.g. applied mathematics, computational engineering, scientific computing, etc). Strong scientific computing background, with experience of different architectures (e.g. CPUs/GPUs) and their use in high-performance computing through shared or distributed parallel programming (e.g. OpenMP, MPI). Strong programming ability in C++ or a related language. Experience in working as part of a research team and ability to collaborate with external partners. A track record of publications and research appropriate to the candidate’s career stage. Excellent organisation ability and written and verbal communication skills. Desirable criteria Knowledge and/or experience in high-order methods and/or mesh generation is highly desirable. Experience with the Nektar++ spectral/hp element framework and its mesh generator, NekMesh. Experience of postgraduate supervision.

About Us We have one simple promise – to make a positive impact. Through our ground-breaking research, teaching excellence and commitment to sustainable living, we are changing lives for the better. The University of Derby is a modern university with a modern outlook. Everything we do is driven by delivering excellence and opportunities for our students, our staff and our region. We have some of the best university facilities in the UK, achieve outstanding results for our teaching and research, and have been awarded Gold in the prestigious Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) 2023 – making us one of the top universities in the country, recognised for our outstanding student experience and student outcomes. Financially strong and seriously ambitious, we offer our employees an inclusive culture that centres itself around staff wellbeing, where you can be confident you will receive all the help and encouragement you need to build a rewarding career with lots of opportunities to enhance your skills. About the Role We are seeking five Researchers to join an exciting collaborative project in partnership with Toyota Manufacturing UK (TMUK), a leading global industry partner. This role combines applied research with practical development, focusing on innovative solutions that address real-world challenges. This project will support the development of a new, lightweight battery electric vehicle (BEV) at TMUK’s Burnaston site. The vehicle will meet the rising demand for eco-friendly micro-mobility, with features including a solar roof, advanced connectivity, and sustainable materials, ensuring end of recovery and recycling. It supports the UK's move to zero-emission transport, boosts the supply chain, and secures jobs at TMUK. By developing a ready-to-produce design, the project opens new market opportunities and positions the UK as a leader in sustainable urban mobility and advanced automotive manufacturing. The Advanced Propulsion Centre UK (APC) has funded this £30.3 million project through the UK Government’s DRIVE35 Collaborate programme and aims to meet the evolving needs of urban populations while accelerating the shift to zero tailpipe emission transport by validating a novel, lightweight BEV in the L6e category. The University of Derby will play a critical role in the project, leading on real-world testing and analysis, and leveraging its expertise in micromobility user behaviour and solar energy viability. Together, the consortium partners are studying how to shape a smarter and more sustainable future for urban mobility across Europe. Acting as a ‘living lab,’ the University will evaluate how the BEV fits evolving patterns of sustainable urban mobility and assess its potential to transform city transport. As micromobility becomes central to the future of urban transport, this study marks a vital step towards understanding and meeting the evolving mobility needs of city populations while accelerating the shift towards reduced congestion emissions and enhanced urban accessibility. The research aligns with the University of Derby’s flagship Derby Urban Sustainable Transport Transition (DUST) project, focused on enhancing the city’s green spaces and promoting low-carbon mobility. By applying innovations in data-centric engineering and market demand opportunities, along with user engagement and experience, we will explore how novel technologies will be adopted and accepted such that micromobility reaches the most appropriate users and locations, maximising accessibility and effectiveness. As a Researcher involved in this project, you will contribute ideas and carry out research, development and tests. You will also support student supervision, contribute to project planning and reporting, and present your research findings. The position involves close collaboration with academic colleagues, engineers, and industry partners, contributing to publications, demonstrations, and stakeholder engagement. This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of research and industry, delivering impactful outcomes that shape the future.
