Job Details

Are you an experienced and ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have a background in wireless communication and signal processing? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research intensive Universities?

Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) are the work force of the UK economy employing 15.6 million people and accounting for 99% of all private sector business. SMEs are particularly prevalent in the food and drink industry, the UK’s largest manufacturing sector, which is characterised by the high volume production of low value products. SMEs operating within this sector often fall behind with technological advances due to a lack of capital to invest in new assets and limited or non-existent research capabilities. However, digital manufacturing does not require expensive new hardware or onsite expertise, as process benefits such as reduced costs, resource utilisation and waste are delivered via the collection, analysis and decision support capabilities of data. This data can be collected by low cost sensors which are connected to a cloud server for near real-time predictive analytics.

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the evolution of Industrial Internet-of-Things for Digital Manufacturing specifically in context of the food and beverage industry. The project is funded by EPSRC Network Plus on Manufacturing in Digital Age and you will benefit from working with the industrial partner, Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN), University of Leeds and University of Nottingham.

You will have a PhD (or close to completion) or equivalent industrial experience, in Electronics/Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or related disciplines, with a strong background in embedded systems programming using either C or Python and a proactive, enthusiastic attitude to your research.
