Résumé du poste

Imperial College London, in the Department of Aeronautics, invites applicants for a funded PhD Studentship on the role of turbulence intermittency in cloud physics. The project explores how intermittent turbulent processes influence rainfall formation in warm cumulus clouds, leveraging advanced diagnostics or high-fidelity CFD and experimental wind tunnel studies.

Applicants should have a first-class honours degree in a related field.

Qualifications

• Candidates should have a strong foundation in turbulence or fluid dynamics and a demonstrated ability to work in multidisciplinary teams.
• First-class honours degree (MEng/MSci) in aeronautical/ mechanical engineering, applied mathematics, physics or related STEM field.
• Experience with experimental or computational turbulence methods is beneficial but not required.

Responsabilités

• Develop and apply experimental and/or computational methods to study turbulence intermittency in cloud physics.
• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team and contribute to high-level research outputs.
• Present findings to the international scientific community and participate in the ERC-funded TITCHY project.
