Descrizione del lavoro
We are seeking a talented and motivated Research Fellow to join our Centre for Experimental Fluid Mechanics!
You will work under the supervision of Prof. Bharathram Ganapathisubramani, collaborating with PhD students and other postdoctoral researchers within the group.
Key responsibilities include:
Carry our wind/water tunnel measurements relevant to topics including wall-turbulence, unsteady aerodynamics and aeroacoustics (possible projects include effects of roughness/pressure gradients on momentum/heat transfer, rotor-rotor or wing-rotor interactions, wing-body junction flows etc)
Develop new diagnostic techniques to access new aspects of the flow
Analyse data and develop new data-driven models that can be used for predictions
Publish and present findings in relevant journals/conferences.
You should hold a PhD (or equivalent experience) in Aerodynamics or Fluid Mechanics. Experimental experience is essential; Excellent communication and writing skills are required.
Equality, diversity and inclusion are central to the ethos of the School of Engineering. We particularly welcome applications from women, Black, Asian and minority ethnic, LGBT and disabled candidates. In recognition of our ongoing commitment to advancing gender equality in science, we received Athena SWAN Bronze Awards in 2013 and 2016. We fully consider requests for flexible working, including part-time arrangements, and welcome applications from those returning after a career break. The University also offers a generous maternity policy** and on-site childcare facilities.
The University of Southampton is in the top 1% of world universities and in the top 10 of the UK’s research-intensive universities. The University of Southampton is committed to sustainability and being a globally responsible university and has recently been awarded the Platinum EcoAward. This commits all our staff and students to take responsibility for managing their activities to minimise harm to the environment, whether this through switching off non-essential electrical equipment or using the recycling facilities.
