Job Description

The CRC ATLAS at the University of Stuttgart addresses scientific and engineering challenges of making Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) accessible, focusing on gas-surface interactions, enabling subsystems, and mission challenges. The project involves developing gas-surface interaction models and implementing Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) methods to predict drag and lift coefficients for satellites.

The project team includes two doctoral researchers focusing on gas-surface interaction models and UQ environment development. Responsibilities include:

• Developing a multi-fidelity simulation framework to analyze uncertainties in atmospheric drag.
• Quantifying uncertainty drivers affecting satellite design.
• Optimizing geometry for VLEO conditions.
• Developing UQ environment using flow models like DSMC or panel methods.

Candidate Requirements

Applicants should have a MSc in engineering, physics, mathematics, or related fields, with experience in experimental or computational fluid dynamics preferred. Excellent writing skills are essential, and fluency in English is required; German language skills are a plus. Support and participation in CRC activities are expected.

Position Details

Ph.D. positions are full or part-time for 3.75 years, with remuneration based on the TV-L scale. The earliest start date is April 1st, 2025. The program offers interdisciplinary training, research stays abroad, and conference participation, providing a strong foundation for future careers in academia or industry.

Application Process

Applications should include a cover letter, CV, and publication list if applicable. The first application deadline is March 17th, 2025. The university promotes diversity and encourages applications from women, international candidates, and persons with disabilities. Equal qualifications will be prioritized for disabled applicants and women in underrepresented areas. The university supports work-life balance and international integration through various programs.
