Description
Join Lucideon as a Computational Modeller!
About Us
Lucideon is a leading materials development and commercialisation organisation, driving innovation across global industries and supporting the creation of next‑generation technologies. Through the Midlands Industrial Ceramics Group (MICG) and £18.27 million in Strength in Places funding, we are pioneering new approaches in advanced ceramics, digital manufacturing, and computational modelling.
Purpose of the Role
This is a rare opportunity to be at the forefront of computational materials science-pushing boundaries, solving complex industrial challenges, and shaping the future of advanced ceramics. As a Computational Modeller, you will contribute to cutting‑edge research across multiple workstreams, including modelling sintering processes, kiln environments, stress development, crack formation and propagation, and the creation of digital twins for real‑world manufacturing.
You’ll join a dynamic, forward‑thinking team committed to driving transformational change in materials and process innovation.
Key Responsibilities
You will ideally hold an MSc or PhD in a science or engineering discipline, with experience in computational modelling or materials processing. You’ll bring strong technical capability in finite element analysis—preferably with COMSOL—and experience in areas such as thermal, mechanical, electrical (AC/DC), or multiphysics simulation.
