About this position

The Centre for Additive Manufacturing (CfAM) at the University of Nottingham is seeking a PhD candidate to join a pioneering project in multi-material molten metal jetting, a next-generation metal additive manufacturing technology. This research sits at the intersection of materials science, manufacturing, and design, focusing on the development and optimization of advanced metal 3D printing processes. The project aims to extend molten metal jetting (MMJ) technology to high-melting-point metals and alloys, enabling the fabrication of complex, multi-material metallic structures with applications in clean energy, electronics, and advanced engineering systems.

The successful candidate will work within a multidisciplinary team, contributing to the design, computational modelling, and experimental development of high-temperature crucible and droplet ejection systems. The research will involve system design, fabrication, and microscale characterization of 3D metal structures, with a strong emphasis on understanding material interactions at the microscale. The project offers opportunities to engage with industrial partners and present research at national and international conferences, leveraging the world-class facilities at CfAM.

Eligibility requirements include a first or upper second-class degree in Engineering, Physical Sciences, or a related field. Experience with coding (such as MATLAB or LabVIEW) and familiarity with multiphysics simulation tools are advantageous. Creative thinking, independence, and industry experience are valued. The studentship is fully funded for home students, covering tuition and a tax-free stipend. Outstanding international candidates may be considered for alternative funding. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and early submission is encouraged. To apply, send a covering letter, CV, and academic transcripts to Dr. Negar Gilani at [email protected].

The University of Nottingham is committed to diversity and inclusion, with the Faculty of Engineering recognized for advancing women’s careers in engineering. This is an excellent opportunity for candidates interested in additive manufacturing, materials science, and advanced engineering research.

Funding details

Fully funded studentships are available for home fee-eligible students, covering tuition fees and a minimum tax-free stipend. International students may apply, but only exceptional candidates (e.g., those with first-author publications) will be considered for alternative funding arrangements.

What's required
