Applications are invited for a proven researcher to work on a three-year project investigating the response capabilities of manufacturing planning, scheduling, and production control systems. The project, supported by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, will be performed in collaboration with the University of Nottingham and five industrial partners: BAE Systems (formerly British Aerospace), British Steel/CORUS, Courtaulds Textiles (Meridian), Henkel (Adhesives Division), and Knowledge Technologies International (KTI).
Applications will be accepted for either a postdoctoral Research Associate position or a Ph.D. Research Studentship. In each case the applicant is required to have a first or upper second class honours degree - ideally in control systems, electrical engineering, or manufacturing systems. A suitable master's degree would also be of clear benefit. The successful candidate will be a motivated self-starter who is capable of independent investigation, and in particular, will be expected to have a good understanding of manufacturing IT systems; exposure to multi-agent software methods would be an advantage. Previous industrial experience would be a significant advantage, as would the ability to demonstrate that he or she has successfully completed at least one major project in their previous academic or industrial career. The capability to structure and write clear reports are all important qualities. A postdoctoral Research Associate candidate will additionally have a Ph.D. Degree in a related field and a demonstrated research track record with associated publications.
The position of postdoctoral Research Associate is for three years, with a salary within the range £16,775 - £18,731. The Ph.D. Studentship will be for three years. The EPSRC will pay an annual maintenance grant of £6,680 and the candidate will be expected to register for a Ph.D. Degree.
In the first instance, applications, including a current curriculum vitae and the names and contact details of two referees, should be e-mailed to Vida Docherty, (e-mail vjd@eng.cam.ac.uk), Institute for Manufacturing, Mill Lane, Cambridge, CB2 1RX, to reach her by 27 October 2000.
