Postdoc: Multiscale Boiling & AI-Driven CFD on Graphene

The University of Edinburgh; City of Edinburgh; Hybrid; GBP 42,000 - 50,000; Full time

Job summary

The University of Edinburgh invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to advance continuum multiphase models of pool boiling on nanomaterial-coated surfaces. The role combines numerical work with experimental collaboration and international visits, feeding AI-driven research approaches into the process.

You should hold a computational PhD and have demonstrated experience in multiphase flow modelling, with an interest in experiments and in applying AI concepts to research.

Qualifications

• PhD in a computational field with strong maths and physics background.
• Experience in multiphase flow modelling (CFD), especially boiling, phase change, or heat and mass transfer.
• Interest in experiments and collaboration with experimental groups.
• Desire to explore AI-assisted research and to integrate AI ideas into work.

Responsibilities

• Develop continuum multiphase models of pool boiling on nanomaterial-coated surfaces.
• Collaborate with experimental groups and participate in funded research visits to international partners.
• Travel to national/international conferences and engage with state-of-the-art software.
