Description
The Collaborative AI for Manufacturing Sustainability (Co-AIMS) Hub is an £11 million EPSRC-funded research initiative led by the University of Birmingham. It aims to revolutionize UK manufacturing by developing AI-powered, people-centric, and regenerative systems that cut waste, boost productivity, and improve sustainability across sectors like automotive, aerospace, and energy. The hub concentrates on AI applications to reduce waste, enhance autonomy, and empower workers in the food & drink, aerospace, and automotive industries.
The Sustainable Manufacturing Group at the University of Birmingham leads research in developing innovative solutions to support a greener and more sustainable future. As the sustainability lead for Co-AIMS we aim to demonstrate that the hub operation, activities undertaken, and outcomes generated all consider the environmental consequences and, where possible, help to mitigate any impact.
The position will be based within the School of Engineering.
