within these schools.
5 Lectureships are currently available from the following areas:
Advanced tribological coatings (Ref: 2227-08-E)
Biomedical and orthopaedic tribology (2225-08-E)
Environmentally friendly tribochemistry (2222-08-E)
Nanotribology (2228-08-E)
Mathematical modelling of wear (2230-08-E)
Microbial tribology (2223-08-E)
Multi-physics and multi-scale Modelling (2229-08-E)
Polymer tribology (2220-08-E)
Statistical methods (2224-08E)
5 Post-doctoral Research Fellowships are currently available within
the following areas, or from any tribological background:
Ref for all below areas: 2231-08-E

MEMS sensors for life prediction
Modelling lubricant performance
Self-repairing surfaces
Sensors for lubricant condition
Smart bearings
Smart tribological coatings
For the Lectureships, you should have a growing international
research reputation, an excellent research background in a field
related to tribology or interfacial engineering/
ability to win research income and an excellent publication record.
For the Research Fellowships, you will require a good research
background with a publication record. These appointments will be
supported by 22 industrially funded PhD and 2 EngD studentships as
well as newly equipped laboratories within nCATS.
nCATS represents an outstanding and unique opportunity to be part of
building a world class research centre, supported by
multidisciplinary collaborations that connect with fundamental
understanding of tribological systems and with the future health care
demands and industrial needs. For more information on the national
