Research Associate in Experimental and Computational Fluid Dynamics (Ref. UOS034101) OPEN

Closing Date: 25th Aug 2022
Duration: until 31 October 2024, to start as soon as possible

Are you interested in applying your fluid dynamics expertise for developing sustainable manufacturing of nanomaterials? As part of an EPSRC Fellowship, we have an exciting opportunity for someone with a passion for process scale-up looking to use their skills in experimental and computational fluid dynamics to make an impact on the sustainability of nanomaterials manufacturing. 

The successful candidate will have a strong background and experience in experimental and computational fluid dynamics. This includes using reactors and mixers to measure mixing dynamics and development of new mixing models and codes (e.g. using ANSYS Fluent or similar packages). A passion to apply these skills to the scale-up of chemical synthesis of nanomaterials is essential, while a background in nanomaterials is not required. You will have a PhD or equivalent research experience in chemical engineering or related disciplines with a focus on fluid dynamics. For further details including job specifications, see the “About the Job” document.
 
In your application, you must include:
 

1. A cover letter describing your reasons for applying to this position.
2. The cover letter should also provide details with supporting evidence or examples explaining how you fulfil each criterion listed under the Person Specification of the “About the Job” document.
3. A up to date CV showing your educational background, research experience, titles of your projects and a list of publications. Any additional information relevant to this position should also be included.
4. A short synopsis of each project undertaken highlighting the novel contributions you have made and the outcomes of that research (no more than half page for each project).
