Research Associate in Data Science for Construction Productivity (Fixed Term)

We seek to appoint a research associate in Computational Fluid Dynamics, as part of an Innovate UK project working on the development of multi-fidelity modelling of fatigue and wear in hydrogen engines. The current appointment is for an initial 30 months, thought there is likely to be an opportunity for extension.

The successful candidate will work as part of an interdisciplinary team towards the aim of developing a digital tool for the design of key products in hydrogen fueled powertrains, enabling the prediction and mitigation of component failure when exposed to hydrogen operating environments. The multi-fidelity approach to be adopted seeks to combine predictions with different levels of accuracy into a reduced order model for the purpose of design exploration and evaluation.

The candidate should have knowledge and working experience of various approaches for the prediction of turbulence modelling & simulation, along with an interest to apply this expertise to complex industrial cases involving conjugate heat transfer and thermomechanical fatigue.

The successful candidate will have completed a PhD (or equivalent) in a related area and will have a strong teamwork mentality and a growth mindset. The selection committee will look for evidence of some or all of the following; significant programming experience, experience in the application of machine learning techniques to CFD, advanced data analysis skills and a track record of successful dissemination of their research via top journal papers and oral presentation at international conferences.

What you will get in return:

  • Fantastic market leading Pension scheme
  • Excellent employee health and wellbeing services including an Employee Assistance Programme
  • Exceptional starting annual leave entitlement, plus bank holidays
  • Additional paid closure over the Christmas period
  • Local and national discounts at a range of major retailers

The Skills Gap in Machine Learning Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Machine learning has moved from academic research into the core of modern business. From recommendation engines and fraud detection to medical imaging, autonomous systems and language models, machine learning now underpins many of the UK’s most critical technologies. Universities have responded quickly. Machine learning modules are now standard in computer science degrees, specialist MSc programmes have proliferated, and online courses promise to fast-track careers in the field. And yet, despite this growth in education, UK employers consistently report the same problem: Many candidates with machine learning qualifications are not job-ready. Roles remain open for months. Interview processes filter out large numbers of applicants. Graduates with strong theoretical knowledge struggle when faced with practical tasks. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university-level machine learning education and real-world machine learning jobs. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they routinely miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in machine learning.
