Mechanical properties of materials are usually measured by simple one-dimensional tests. The growing field of data-driven mechanics requires development of experimental methods to obtain large quantities of multi-axial data from a single test. To complement this data is the requirement to develop computational methods that can deal with the inevitable measurement noise. We are starting a new project with the aim to use: (i) lab-based flux enhanced tomography for full field measurement of deformation fields and X-ray diffraction measurements of elastic strains, and (ii) associated data-driven material model discovery techniques. These coupled measurements and machine learning techniques are expected to form an important element in the field of data-driven mechanics. We are looking for a PhD student to join the project to work alongside post-doctoral associates and our partner universities in the US.

Applicants should have (or expect to obtain by the start date) at least a high 2.1 degree (preferably a first or its equivalent) in Engineering, Physics or related subject. A strong interest in multi-physics modelling and/or experimental methods is essential. This studentship is open to both home and overseas applicants.

The University actively supports equality, diversity and inclusion and encourages applications from all sections of society.

How to Get a Better AI Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Being made redundant or laid off can feel like the rug has been pulled from under you. Whether part of a wider company restructuring, budget cuts, or market shifts in tech, many skilled professionals in the AI industry have recently found themselves unexpectedly jobless. But while redundancy brings immediate financial and emotional stress, it can also be a powerful catalyst for career growth. In the fast-evolving field of artificial intelligence, where new roles and specialisms emerge constantly, bouncing back stronger is not only possible—it’s likely. In this guide, we’ll walk you through a step-by-step action plan for turning redundancy into your next big opportunity. From managing the shock to targeting better AI jobs, updating your CV, and approaching recruiters the smart way, we’ll help you move from setback to comeback.

AI Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your Market Value in Seconds

Why your 2024 salary data is already outdated “Am I being paid what I’m worth?” It is the question that creeps in whenever you update your CV, see a former colleague announce a punchy pay rise on LinkedIn, or notice a recruiter slide into your inbox with a role that looks eerily similar to your current one—only advertised at £20k more. Artificial intelligence moves faster than any other hiring market. New frameworks are open‑sourced overnight, venture capital floods specific niches without warning, & entire job titles—Prompt Engineer, LLM Ops Specialist—appear in the time it takes most industries to schedule a meeting. In that environment, salary guides published only a year ago already look like historical curiosities. To give AI professionals an up‑to‑the‑minute benchmark, ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk has built a simple yet powerful salary‑calculation formula. By combining three variables—role, UK region, & seniority—you can estimate a realistic 2025 salary band in less than a minute. This article explains that formula, unpacks the latest trends driving pay, & offers concrete steps to boost your personal market value over the next 90 days.

How to Present AI Models to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

In today’s competitive job market, AI professionals are expected to do more than just build brilliant algorithms—they must also explain them clearly to stakeholders who may have no technical background. Whether you're applying for a role as a machine learning engineer, data scientist, or AI consultant, your ability to articulate complex models in simple terms is fast becoming one of the most valued soft skills in interviews and on the job. This guide will help you master the art of public speaking for AI roles, offering tips on structuring presentations, designing effective slides, and using storytelling to make your work resonate with any audience.
